Need help finding A Rare Car

**Slinger** · 05-23-2023, 07:42 PM

Hello, I am a car collector looking for what has been my "dream car" for as long as I can remember

I am looking for a "New" stock unmodified 2004-2007 Subaru STI with extremely low mileage. In a perfect world I can find one with a few hundred miles still with the delivery plastic on the seats. If anyone knows of any Subaru collectors or someone who has a car similar to what I mention, I would be glad to pay a very strong finders fee to anyone who could help me buy one. Looking to buy from a private owner. Send me a message....even if you have one not for sale it would be great to touch base.....I would even be interested in a stock driver quality car until the perfect one comes up.. Thanks

Christian

This is a detailing forum, not a used car lot. JK, hope someone can help you find your dream car.

I Know, I wanted to network out and ask around. Many detailers have done work for collectors and know of different cars stashed away!!

Based on the condition/mileage you are looking for, Bring a Trailer would probably be your best bet. STI's and WRX's float through there occasionally. Most of the normal sources will have cars which have had a harder life and likely been heavily modified over the years.

Those are extremely desirable cars. Anyone with a super low mileage, unmodded version of one of those knows what they have and will be requesting the premium price the market is seeing. If someone should happen on an uninformed owner of one that doesn't know what they have (like via inheritance/estate xfer, etc.) they'd be better served flipping it themselves than looking for a finder's fee.

Neat cars.

Asked my coworker who knows folks that play in that genre to put out feelers if there's anyone looking to part ways with one.

Mine would be a 1970 HEMI 'Cuda.

J/K...... God luck to you, sir.

I know your kidding Paul but what he's doing is very smart and here's why. There's NO new STi, only the WRX and IF there's a new STi it could be an EV, so what he's trying to get is the first STi generation to appear here in the U.S.

His hunt will be a tough one as these cars were almost always modded/autoX/road coarsed and generally enjoyed but if he's got the patience...AND the checkbook, he'll be rewarded. Without looking it, the car he's looking for, should set him back $50K+

OP...how am I doing here with this

I was totally kidding, and I texted one of our "A" techs at the dealership about it. He is in his mid-30's (a lot younger that us, Rog!) and was a huge rice modder and Subaru guy growing up.

His EXACT text back to me was "He's paying 50k+ if he can even find one...."
