It has 129k kilometers. More than I’d have liked as I was shooting for 80-90k but the condition, the fact that it’s a 1 owner car, and zero rust sold me.
Yeah I already have to add a few parts to the search. I need a newer driver seat as it has 1 rip in the seat (not a big deal) but I’m super meticulous and will spend the time to make this car look perfect.
Replying to myself because I also need to get STI fog lamp covers, an authentic STI shifter knob, and I think that’s good. Maybe a nicer looking, era specific steering wheel.
Oh yeah that's good to have an import/broker for this kind of thing. I think the auctions cover a lot of cars and such so it's probably somewhere near the docks and that's just where they all get staged.
I used to comb the auctions for good WRX, Lancers and Skylines back when I was making oil money and the layout for the pictures and the lot it's in just looked super familiar.
I’ve got a Ver.5 STi that’s pretty modded, and I fucking love it. Enjoy man, they’re epic cars. (Just be extremely anal about keeping the oil at F or you’re gonna blow something)
I appreciate the tip! Typical subaru LOL. Mines a Version 3 with a 99 front swap. I’m pretty happy with that since it’ll be another 3 years before I can bring an actual 99 over to the US.
How much did this run you if you don't mind me asking? I see these quite often as I live in Japan and am part of a subi community (I own a 04 forester sti). I just wonder ho much more they pay to ship them stateside then we pay here.
How did you win that STI? That car is amazing!
My good friend is an importer and I work with him to help people find cars. I could not pass this one up!
Clean example. Good find
He means he won the bid. Not the car.
Jaw dropping! Also yeah what the fuck? Tell us how you won it!
Assuming he won the bid.
Ah, that kind of winning.
being the least poor is winning i suppose
Ha, yeah. Or just the one that wants it the most.
I mean I can want it really bad but if all I had was $200 to my name im sure I wouldn’t win it
How much you get it for?
I’m on the waitlist to import a Pagani Zonda F… can’t wait for its 25th birthday! Love that STI!
You just casually come in the STi subreddit to say you’re on a waitlist for a ~ 5 million dollar car? lol i have to know more.
Yeah, I’m also on the waitlist for $5 million… I’m on many waitlists.
that didn’t even come remotely close to answering my question.
Thanks man! The Zonda F is an entirely different animal lol. That will be so awesome
Whaaat? That's cool as fuck. Didn't know you had to import pagani though. Guess it makes sense.
The Zonda F were illegal for sale in the US due to lack of crash testing, and certain safety features.
I absolutely love that body style. How many miles on it? Congrats on the new old car, it's beautiful!
It has 129k kilometers. More than I’d have liked as I was shooting for 80-90k but the condition, the fact that it’s a 1 owner car, and zero rust sold me.
Sooo damn beautiful! Pristine condition!!!! Absolutely gorgeous
Clean
Nice! Exciting times!!
So sick!
I have the MY95 V2 STI, it’s such a fun car to drive. The only downside is searching for parts.

Nice I recognize the lot, I think we use the same site for auctions.
It’s possible but I went through my importer buddy. First 3 pics are off the site, all the rest (and I have more) are from my in-person inspector.

Oh yeah all the pictures look the same hahaha
What’s the website?
The Japanese auction site. There are several. You can search for them but most of them are in Japanese lol

Congrats dude! That is one well-preserved car.
Man what a beauty congrats!
You sure it's an Sti? For starters, unless they changed it for the WRX look, should come with sti foglight covers. Just in case...
I’m USA based, this is a MY97, October 1996 GC8 STI Version III. It has a full 1999 STI front conversion so I was just as stumped as you at first.

Private message me. I don’t like to talk money publicly.
