The only lgt i want is the 07 spec b because it keets all my requorements. too bad thats also the hardest one to friggin find. If i found one with a steal of a price itd be done. my next choice is the 08-10 sti and this one is the most fairly priced used from a dealer (i need to offload my bad lgt). the lgt started burning oil on me. and its burning VERY quick.

People selling the newer sti's are usually asking really high prices. For me I almost got an 08 new with the crazy off msrp deal for 28.XXX before tax/lic no bbs. I realize thats an amazing price, but it still pisses me off when people are asking 29 for 08's.

You can buy a new sedan for like 31.5 before tax/lic, id just do that

He wants a bit much plus you'd want to see service history, 08's are the most notorious for blowing engines.

Nothing it's just the 08's blew A LOT more then any of the years. 09-12's are still blowing just less then the 08's. All the newer sti's since 07 came with a ****ty stock tune and crappy pistons. A lot of 08 owners on iwsti ended up having to rebuild or have subaru warranty if they were lucky.
