well, i am a poor college student right now, but i am saving up some money for an sti. so heres where i want everyones opinion: how much and how many miles do you guys expect on a used '04 '05 sti in about a year to 2 years now...best and worst case scenarios would be nice. Thanks a lot guys
Maybe $20k-25k. Just a guess because it really varies. It's only been out in the market for 2-3 years and it's a hot product so it won't depreciate as fast as some passenger cars.
Last year I saw 04 sti's going for around 20k depending on milage. You'll be under 20 on most of them in 2 years I'd imagine.
hmm i have an 04 rs and i only have 12k right now, practically brand new, would i be better off trading it in for a brand new one in 08 or 09 or something?
Here's some hope for you. I bought mine with 28K mi for $23.5K. Great price but I knew I'd be replacing some items. So far only issue was clutch and flywheel which wasn't cheap. 2 years from now I'd expect $18-$25K with about 40-80K mi. It'll be a really hard find to get one with out mods or that wasn't modded and then parted out. Just know that whomever owned it 95% likely drove it hard but the car can take it.
driving it hard isn't that much of an issue if the owner properly maintained it as well - which hopefully is the case
Here's a hint...wait for the 2008 model, u might not want to go used when this comes out...a good rumor, but from a good source.
I'm aware of that... but I'd like to see it without the body cladding as shown on those two shots. Now back on topic here... in 2 years, a 2004 STi may cost in the range of $18k-$23k depending on mileage and condition of the car. As long as the demand doesn't kill the car like what happen to the Supra/RX7 market. The slow and the get serious really killed the market for these cars. Just look at the Toyota AE86 (83-87 Corolla GT-S) 5th Generation Corolla. Initial D caused the price of that car to skyrocket as well. Hmmm... marketing tools... maybe what we need is a movie about a kid wanting to be a Rally racer and at the end, picked the Subie as the car of choice to win the Rally. Now that'll jack our car up fosho ROFL.
hahahaha, thanks a bunch guys. the hatch does look sweet..but idk i like the look of the 04 05 a lot and hatch is kinda not really what im looking for. but dont get me wrong i love subies loved em every since i got my first one...in gran turismo (the first one) that is hehe they rock, the hatch would definetly be a change for me but i have a lot to think about
That hideous thing makes the Lancer EVO prototype in the background look even cooler. I hope the GC8 supply doesn't run out before somebody finally designs a better-looking car.
