Well, as much as I love this car, I am trying to get an 08 STI so this one needs to go. This has been my baby and is in great condition. Its oil has been changed every 3000 miles, and it wasn't given synthetic until 10,000. No accidents, garaged for the majority of its life. The car hasn't ever given me a problem, and it isn't about to start now. I've never even gotten a flat on it . ALL stock parts are included with the car, including stock rims and worn stock tires. All major work has been done by LIC, with brake pads and coilovers being done at GST. I am offering this to i-club first before I put it on craigslist. If I do not have any response on there, I will be forced to part it out, which I don't want to do.

The car was tuned by Ed from EQ tuning. Don't freak out about the manual boost controller, the car was tuned with it and it is used as a safegaurd against overboost. The car is actually running a conservative tune, as per my request. It can afford a pound or two more of boost (18.5 psi peak right now).

The car handles amazingly, and actually doesn't have a very harsh ride. I run the coilovers on a halfway to stiff setting, so its in between. The car has only had the vf-34 since around 20,000 miles. Coilovers were put on around 15,000 I think. It was stage 2 for a while before that, maybe at 10,000 miles? I don't remember that far back.

The exhaust note of the car is simply *amazing*. Almost every meet that I go to, someone asks me the exhaust setup that the car is running. It is pretty quiet, but it will give you some noise when you step on it - but not obnoxiously loud. The car doesn't smell either because it is running a high cat downpipe, however it makes close to the power that a catless vf-34 would.

The car has 26,000 miles and is in excellent condition. I am selling the car for 23,500$. No, its not your typical run of the mill 19,000$ 2006 wrx because it has a ton of tasteful work done to it. I feel that it is a very fair price...

I am not interested in tire kickers, but if you are seriously interested please PM me or give me a call at 925 330 3097. Below I have a list of everything done to the car, as well as pictures and the dyno graph.

Once again all stock parts are included, including stock wheels and tires. Current tire tread is healthy, as the wheels and tires are very new. The tires only have 4,000 miles on them! Very expensive too! Around 250$ per corner. Bridgestone RE960AS pole position all season tires are on the rotas. These tires grip great in the dry, AND the wet. Not noisy, and have a very high tread wear rating. This wheel and tire combo is almost 2,000$ in itself. The wheels do not have one scratch on them - flawless. No curbing or anything.

I will post better pictures up once I can clean it (all the rain lately)

Wow your car is really well done, sad to see it go!

 

Thanks . Yea, me too. I was looking at STI's but when I saw the 2008 in person...I was sold.

Hopefully it stays in the i-club community!

 

your better off parting out... but good luck on getting your price

 

I know very well what I am better off doing, but I would rather try selling it this way. Its easier for me and it gives someone the complete package for a good price point. Thanks I'm hoping I will get it.

 

Ya very clean car morgan, Have fun trying to smog it though for the sale . Your price is a bit stiff but nothing crazy.

 

Eh, when you consider the interior, the wheels, the suspension, the power, it all adds up to a very "all around" built car. I think its worth the price. If it gets down to it, I might negotiate, but not very far. Is smogging such a new car required for sale...? I've never heard of that.

 

uh he doesn't need to smog it.

 

free bump for a cool guy! Sad to see it go! Bring forth the new 08!! I hope you get white even though i know your going to buy blue!!

 

MMMM I dunno. Its between red, silver, and dark grey metallic right now I think. :RockOn - not mine:

 

u have to smog a car whenever u do a title transfer, no matter how old the car is.

 

bump for an 08 sti

 

READ THIS

And more specifically, this

 

Not true. When I got an 05 IS300 last year. I had the owner smog it, but when we went to the DMV they said you don't have to do that for a new car. I assume you won't have to for an 06.

Maybe I should get ride of my 03 suby before I have to smog to sell it. I have the same setup, but don't want to deal with parting everything out.
