Mako Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Just got word through today that these limited edition models will be £22995. Both 4 and 5 door models will be the same price. Ready for delivery in September. Only 300 saloons and 100 wagons will be produced. Russ
billyboy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 They are taking the mick with the price of this.If you add leather its another £1400.Far too dear.Your away into sti money with extras added on. Billy
scoobyseller555 Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 ..................so much for £19995 then!!!! better off with a £16995 wrx and make it your own ltd edition. Gav
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 ........ these guys are really questioning my brand royalty [N]
RS Grant Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I'm not so sure, you're getting a warranty covered modified car that looks great and goes like stink... plus the fact that it is being released in a very limited number. I dont think you'd be a million miles away from the RRP of the GB270 if you added all the extras to a stock 17k WRX and reckon that a limited edition is going to be worth more than a basic WRX with a few Prodrive options bolted onto it. [] Can't wait to see them 'in the flesh' cause they look great in the pics. [H] Cheers, Grant
scoobyseller555 Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 just done one for a customer,wrx in aqua,loads of bits,circa 20k,and looks amazing! ltd editions holding value,wr1's are now around the 16k mark on autrotrader 30k new when a sti at the same time was £24995 without discount.I paid £22700 for my one. you can get a pre reg delivery mileage sti for that kind of money. ......or a sti spec.d @ £19995 Grant[] Gav
exvaux Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 ok maybe i missed somethin but whats the difference between the spec C,D and STI apart from price and all spec C's seem to be white and D's seem to be goldy/silver colour
st3ph3n Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 sti is your basic top end Impreza. 2.0 in Japan and 2.5 in the UK as of the 06 cars. Spec D is a UK/European STI with a low level rear wing, leather interior, sat nav and possibly the nice wheels too? D for discreet. Spec C is a Jap STI with many many many nice things about it. Lighter, stiffer, faster etc. etc. C for crivens it's quick.
billyboy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Despite the price Subaru know fine well that they will sell them.
imprezapete Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 TBH get them while you can since Subaru go up the shitter as of the new model this year. oh well classic for me next
big den Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Still think that at £22995 its too dear,you can get a pre reg delivery mileage sti for that kind of money. Gav or advertised new for £23,267 (incl. the £1k Subaru UK discount) on Grieve's website until you actually enquire about one then there aren't actually any at that price - hmmnnn!! In all fairness you were on holiday at the time Gav. Den
RS Grant Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 ......or a sti spec.d @ £19995 Grant[] Gav Haha aye.. thats very true mate, they were a popular deal on here. [H] Cheers, Grant
RA Dunk Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Still think that at £22995 its too dear,you can get a pre reg delivery mileage sti for that kind of money. but at 270BHP thats in STi territory, plus its gonna be a VERY limited number car too
RS Grant Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 You're right there mate, I think a PPP'd WRX is quicker than a stock STi.. WRX PPP @ 270bhp and 310lbft against the STi @ 280bhp and 290lbft and the WRX's 5-speed box means less changing and faffing about unlike in the STi with its 6-speed box. I'm not sold on the looks of the GB270 Saloon, but I am a big fan of the GB270 Wagon, think it looks spot on. [H] Cheers, Grant
billyboy Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Well i was thinking of getting one till i gagged on the price.I contacted a dealer,test drove a standard 2.5 wrx which i was impessed with.The price of the gb270 hadn't been released at that point so they said they would phone with change over price,but if i didnt hear from them by 10am the next morning i was to phone them.I though what a way to conduct business,anyhow i didnt get the call and it wasnt worth phoning cause the price was still unknown.When the price was released i sent an e-mail saying no ta too expensive.To date i still havent heard from them to at least say thanks for letting us know or it would cost x amount to change.You know who you are and you need to sharpen up your ideas.[:@]
