Equipment
2458cc/300hp, 6-speed, gold BBS wheels, factory CD stereo.
Condition
Represented with 6200 miles and one owner until last year. The original paint has a small chip filled on the front bumper under the right headlight, and another on the top of the right fender. Other than that, the paint finish is like new. The engine compartment is meticulously detailed, the underbody is immaculate, and the interior unused. A close to like new STI in classic colors that shows really no major use.
Market commentary
It's a bit difficult to think of the STI as a collector car. The images of vape smoke pouring out of the windows and the obnoxious sounds of aftermarket exhaust are perhaps a bit too fresh, and there are still plenty of folks out there driving their STIs like idiots today. But the first STI (the top spec version of the rally-bred Subaru Impreza WRX) in America is over 20 years old now, and its impact on the performance car space when it came out was huge. That, combined with the fact that many fast Subarus got driven to death means clean (and unmodified) examples like this one are increasingly difficult to find and will be in higher demand as nostalgia starts to kick in for Subaru acolytes. The result for this "Hawkeye" generation STI is about twice its original MSRP, and it's not likely to ever get cheaper.
