Finalized the deal for a 06 OBP STi today. Has the factory boost gauge(useless), 05 tails and what appears to be lowering springs. (looked lower than normal.) The dealer gave me a real good price for my trade-in (($10k) with135k km’s) and I couldn’t resist. Gonna pick-up a set of winter tires this week, get the bank draft, and it will be in my hands next Sat. Can’t wait, this will be a sleepless week. 😃 BTW, I will try to take off the Nismo RSB off this week along with the grounding wires, those two will be for sale. ---

Sad to see yer ditching the Spec V… But congrats on getting an STi! Hopefully you’ll come to a meet or something and make all us Spec V owners jealous!!! ---

I bought more for the reliability and solid powertrain, the AWD helps also. I wasn’t a fan of the new look, but it has grown on me, it looks 100% better in person. ---

hahah 4000$ markup. well if u have an 02 with 130xxxkm and i have an 03 with 70xxxkm. then i should be able to get a decent amount on a trade in. hmmm wish i could afford that STI.
