boxerboy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 hey, its been a few year since i was on here,i sold my97 sti about 4 year ago and loved it and want another i currently have a bmw 330 ci m sport,2001 with 88k miles. and have been offered a sti 555 with 58k miles and a few mods wheels bodywork, exhaust, etc.i was wondering if anybody can guide me towards what the subaru would be worth and how to know if its a genuine 555 and should it have a limited edition number. cheers guys dave Link to comment
paul555sti Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If its a version 2 555 sti it wont have a limited number as they dont have them. The applied model code is GC8C4ED The paint code is 53C It should have a roof flap. It will have the ariel on the rear wing and not the front A pillar. It should have intercooler water spray It should have side skirts It wont have DCCD. Its basically just a version 2 sti with a few extras. Price is hard as the market for these cars is terrible just now. I would say anything from £2000 up to £3500 depending on history / milage / condition. Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) As paul says, It should have the applied model code of GC8C4ED (saloon) or GF8C58D (wagon). Have a look on the link below for more information. http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html Edited January 7, 2012 by lewisscoob Link to comment
paul555sti Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The saloon model code also covers the version 2 sti. Its a minefield lol Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I presume the reason for that is because it's basically one of a few sti's at the end of production that got a few extras to push sales. Link to comment

boxerboy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 does it seem like a fair swap or should i wait and see what else i get offered? bmw 330 coupe (genuine m sport) seem to range from 3k-4.5k with the age and miles of mine and i would prob want about 3700 because mine has pretty much everything, so with all the mods i dont know if the subaru seems like a fair swap. and where on the subaru would i check the codes? cheers dave Link to comment

I dont think i would be swapping and i own a 555 lol Do an advanced search on pistonheads for 555 sti and see the various ones and the prices. Edited January 7, 2012 by paul555sti Link to comment
