How Low Can You Go?

No not yet

It was on fleabay but didn't meet it's reserve (about 1.5K short) and is now on Autotrader ..

I'm in no rush to sell it either really, car planet have really knocked the STi market out of kilter with their cheap deals but I still think mine is well priced considering it's been well looked after, remapped for UK fuel from day 1 and has the proven 330/330 peformance pack from Powerstation.

Most of the other Sti's (not car planet) on Litchfields/Autotrader/Pistonheads are on at 22K,21K etc so I don't think asking £20K ovno is too bad (but I may be in lala land I guess )

I was hoping the fact it's pretty rare in Scotland would tempt someone looking for a change from an Impreza and not having to travel too far would tempt someone to have a look at it but no joy as yet. I guess it's a pretty small market for modded Jap Forester STi's up here.

I'm giving it 3 weeks then I'll just keep it till next year.

TBH, if I hadn't bought the Impreza last year I'd be sorely tempted. I was actually looking at Forester STi's back before buying the Impreza, looks a stunning car, although I guess a combo of you not driving it much and me not being in town much means I've not seen you around in it.

It really just goes from Westhill to work, work to gym, work to Westhill etc

It really is a fantastic machine, much, much prefer it to the Impreza I had before but that's maybe because I'm now older and want the stealth look whilst still having the ooomph. My daughter wants me to keep it, she's only 5 but loves when I put my foot down

We move in 3 weeks into town so it will sit on a driveway until the weekends hence the sale

I would have thought their would have been some folk in Aberdeen/Up North wanting an immaculate example without heading all the way down south like I did.

As I said I'm in no rush, if someone wants it but needs to sell theirs first I'm happy to take a deposit, consider it sold and wait for them to sell

lol! I was just thinking how inconspicuous that looks with the massive Brembo's, bonnet scoop and huge wheels

OK it's not a grey Skoda Fabia

But as my daughter (5) would say it's not bright blue, with goldy wheels and a sticky up bit ... she has recently informed me that she wants a red ferrari and is partial to 911's she must stop reading my EVO's over my shoulder.

Neil, you have missed a lot

the 555 has gone to a new home not too far away and Project Forester is underway
