After A V3/v4 Sti - If You See A Good One Give Me A Shout (please)


Recommended Posts

As title really, at a guess I think i'll only be able to afford a v3.

By the way, the one I bought off ebay that had headgasket failure take a look:

STI

At least it should be a sound car for the next person. I bought it knowing it needed the crankshaft seal replacing, although I had to find that out on my own accord. It's also had a tap up the back. Apart from that a very tidy car, would of gone again with it, had it not been for the fact he relisted it for about a week as being mint even when people were asking him if it had head gasket failure and he was saying no. Shame that he didn't do the genuine thing and sort it out first instead of me listing it on here and scoobynet.

Anyway, after going from my 93 wrx to that sti, I know its STI all the way now, so keep your eyes peeled for me please as I hate driving about in my 306 at the moment.

Was going to use them when i wanted to get an r32, and that was a few years back, so if they are still going chances are they are ok. Were you going to get one out of their stock or get one imported? If you get one bought over you have to plough through the auction listings and its time consuming and can get fairly complex, but even after shipping and sva etc you can make amazing savings. But obviously its not without risk, it has to get through an mot and be sva'ed before you do anything, although bonsai did do a deal where they would guarentee getting it road legal, but at a fairly hefty charge.

I rang them yesterday and the person I spoke to seemed friendly enough, but almost seemed like he wanted me off the phone asap. Tried getting some of the reports offline but wasn't working, done so again today and the person I spoke to try and get some help from seemed like he'd never used a computer in his life. In the end I was told try closer to the bidding time to see if the reports had been uploaded. So I will do so and see how it goes.
