I just recently bought a used 07' STI and I love it to death. I have put on 2500 miles in less than a month because I just love driving the car. The power and more impressively the handling is astonishing. If you want to upgrade the possibilities are endless. The new 08 models are really nice too but I found a used 07' that looks brand new for a lot less money. I bought it with 12,500 miles and it looks brand new. Is this going to be an everyday driver or weekend warrior? Either way it is fantastic! You can find some really good deals on used 04-07 models.

07 STI"S command alot money if you want it with very very low miles .
private sellars are looking 28000 to 30.000 on very low miles 07 STI's
dealers are looking for 33.000 to 34.000 for STI"S with 3000 to 8000 miles.

05 STI"S have a very mod friendly ECU and do well in longevity engine wise.
07 stock ECU and map is a nightmare you need a very good protuner that understands the 07 STI's ECU MAP TABLES once that is done the 07 STI"S are monster's on the dyno's alot to do with different cylinder head desighn that keeps much cooler
so it eliminates the need for sodium filled valves , also 07 have much taller gears great for highway driving or drag racing .
