Sac guys need your advise on posisble STI purchase

Okay this seems like a good deal to me but would just like to get some other opinions to re-assure myself that gettig a loan and becoming a slave to the car is worth it.

Its a 2005 OBP STI with 24,000 miles on it. it comes with the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Its got the gold BBS on it.

The exterior and interior is in excellent condition with no damage, stains, dings, dents, so on, and minimal rock chips. The title is clean.

It has installed on it: helix catback, kartboy exhaust hangers, kartboy shifer bushings, kn drop in filther, silencer delete, and all stock parts. It comes with a few parts that are uninstalled helix catless downpipe, It also has a FMIC, just the intercooler.

I think that about covers it. We decided on the price of $26,000.

What do you all think? Personally i think its a great deal for what im getting.

Thanks

Will

I bought my '05 for $26K, but it only had 10K miles on it and was completely stock. You might be able to find one with lower miles for that price.

Then look at Iceman. 26k for a 05 with only 3k more miles.

I appreciate the info though! Any privated partys!?!?!

Dont want to have to buy this black one, its all the way in SD.

Damn thats a good deal.

I know you all dont want to hear this but im seriously wondering if i want to buy a EVO. There are so many for really cheap and low mileage. Im seeing 05 EVOs with only 11k on the odos for only 24k. Pretty tempting when i cant even find a 05 STI with low mileage for a good price.

Yeah i really honestly highly doubt i would ever buy a EVO. A matchbox car has nicer interior then a Evo. the evo interior is so ****y. Im just getting impatiant and desperate.

The car im talking about in this post is like exactly what i want but its all the way in SD, i much rather find one here.

I'm sure that this one could be bought for around $26K... only 10,800 miles. It looks exactly like mine did, even the same asking price. I think this is your car.

If you want one a few more miles, but silver and carrying a 7 yr./100K warranty for a few more bucks, then here you go.
