sti pretender Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 If you can wait its worth importing a car, much cheaper and better choice. My 1997 Version 3 STI Type R lands this week, was a dealer car not an auction 52k on the clock is costing around £5500. In your interested contact Chapman81 on here. Not had any dealings with either garage but check the grade of import and get the car checked properly. Robert

I'm considering selling my '96 WRX V-Limited import soon. I'm getting the timing belt,spark plugs and front brake pads changed this week. The car has 4 months tax and 5 months MOT left on it. It has approx 73k on the clock and has always been run and serviced correctly. I'll be advertising it for £3795 if you are interested.
superstar_tradesman Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Bought my 97 STI 555 from calder last year and can have no complaints.
mikeyb13 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I think I had a test drive of the car you are talking about in Calder Motor. Not a big expert but it felt good to me and looked very well kept. I just felt it was overpriced. Found a Type-R the same age with 35000 miles for a grand less a week later. My advice look around drive a hard bargain these cars dont seem to be selling at the moment. Get the lighter Type-R, if you can do without rear doors, the close ratio gearbox and adjustable diff turn it into one crazy fast car
