Hey everyone,

My name is Ben, and ive been lurking around here for a bit, ready to buy an STI and join in.
Just moved to Perth again and am looking at an unmodified 2005+ STI with km's under 100k.

Not many for sale here but looking looking!

Nice site too, hope to see some of you around.

Ben

Welcome to the forum Ben

Might I suggest this car: http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale-car...a-wrx-sti.html

Sethor kept his 05 in mint condition, until the muppet who bought it wrote it off 2 days after buying it. I suspect this car will be kept in the same condition... it would be nice not to see it end the same way though

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the link ImPreSiV, hadnt seen that one, black is also the color im after too after the rest of the car suits the bill. Was looking at Captains but not selling his 2007 anymore. 32k for a 2005 is a bit much though, i thought they were around the 28-29k mark?

welcome, depends on the condition of the car. I'd say that is worth a bit more than what the average 05 sti goes for because of the kms and overall condition. From what i can see in the pics anyways.

After looking at many cars around, and a wealth of experience here for owners, could any of you guys post some pros/cons of the 2005,2006,2007 STI's and also common issues?

Thanks again.

Future owner!
Ben
