help a bro find a used sti....

hey there peeps

well, it looks like i am finally going to be able to afford an STi. if anyone knows anyone locally that is selling one, i might be interested. the cheaper the better (duh). i have around $27k to spend, but would really like to stay in between 25-26k.

i am looking at one in fair oaks this week some time hopefullu. blue/silver with the wing removed (something i will do regardless).

i like all colors BUT black.

thanks for ANY help, and se y'all soon at a uckk....

josh

ps i am willing to travel or ship if the car and price is right.....

pss and just to add a REALLY funky twist, i am also looking at EVO's, so if anyone knows anyone witha trick EVO for sale, don't hesitate to let me know...

thanks for the help guys

i did look at all the norcal and cars for sale classifieds. the 05 would be great, but i think he will be looking for more than what i want to spend.

really this thread is to rouse anyone who knows someone who isnt on this board, or possible some resourse i am unaware of.

thanks again for the help

hey homerj

i just saw that. i am going to check it out this weekend. i also checked craigslist (another duh on my part) and emailed 4 different people. one in stockton that is black (boooo) but he is trying to sell it quickly for 25.5k and is willing to negotiate. i can fudge the color for a good price. it only has 10k miles on it...

keep em coming if you see anything...

yea, and Zoeb has some nice rear seats too!

THere's a silver sti on craigslist for $26, prob talk him down to $25K and you're done.

GOod luck and enjoy the car...other than the front seats, I think the car is fantastic and offers a whole lot of value.

Please track your car though....this thing really comes alive on the track.

I own an '04 STi and I wish I could have waited for an '05, I can't afford to add the little things that supposedly make the '05 handle better...

If there's any way you can swing it Josh, do it!

oh and Zoeb knows that if you price the 6MT, Brembos, R180 rear diff, engine, etc. etc. etc. you save money getting an STi

RA gearset is close enough to the 6 speed...less shifting too

Stoptechs > brembos

rear diff....sorry, got nothing there

I was j/k for the most part though

hey

yeah if i could get an 05 i would. i plan on big changes to the suspension (new spec c adjustable, etc) so the 04 is ok for me.

if i could i would get the 05, but just too pricey...

thanks everyone for the help

not knocking your car bro, I know those RA gears are slick, but just wait till I get some SS lines, good pads, and some Stoptech 2pc. rotors for my Brembos....

oh and I forgot to mention that the bizzles confuse the STi interior as being suede = mucho pimpin'!
