New Price!-Stanced 2008 STi for sale
2008 Subaru STi, 24k miles. I am the second owner. I got the car totally stock in August of 2011. It was purchased new in November 2008 from Servco Subaru Waialae and kept stock (except a legal tint) by the first owner for 2 and a half years. It still has the 4 year extended warranty. Both of us have babied the car (i.e. multiple washes a week, frequent oil changes, driving like its made of glass, Etc.) In December of 2011 I pretty much overhauled the suspension set up. Put in coilovers, LCAs, toe arms, rear trailing arms, and camber bolts. I also got some new rims with a more aggresive width and offset. The car sits beautifully in my opinion. Just the right amount of camber and poke. Since then, I have added some other parts here and there, like exhaust, BOV, and a strut bar. I also had it street tuned by Matt Cater of 555 Motorsports. Most of you are probably wondering why you haven't seen this car around. I live in Kailua and dont get out much. I took it on the cruise once, and its been to 2 meet ups, but I generally keep it on the windward side most of the time.

nice car!
Not trying to be rude but why have a extended warranty when the car is no longer covered due to heavy mods?
also what is the asking price?
why a 2011 sti? its pretty much the same car esp if you get a hatch again or are you looking for a sedan?

just an FYI-not too sure if this is the first car youve modded....but its always a LOSING game. you will NEVER be able to recover what you have put into the car. i paid only 23.5k for my almost stock 05 sti, i dont want to think of how much i dumped into my car, but i know i spent more than what i initially paid for the car on mods. id never be able to recover any of that back, even if i parted my whole car out.
and i dont know about anyone else, but even if she is referring to crank hp, seems off to me. yeah, the car has 305 hp at the crank factory....but i doubt an exhaust and bov would produce 35hp. id be surprised if it even made 300 wheel on rads dyno.

just my 02cents....But if you are really serious about selling your nice car, it would probably be best to take out all the mods and performance parts off.
Only way to get some of your money on the car and you can put on the 2011
Also, you will increase your demographic of buyers from those just looking for stock and/or 1st Subaru buyers, and those looking for semi-modded Subie for the stuff you wont be taking off.

Well thats cool and all, but im really just trying to advertise my car. Not trying to be rude but there are other threads on this forum where you can go to talk about your car and discuss whos better at tuning cars. Thanks.
