http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...vo&trecs=18 this guy wants 13,800 for an 03 with 115k on the clock....

this is what redbook says about the 5y stivo (anyone know the difference with a y92 2005 model ?) * Private Price Guide $17,100 - $19,100 * Trade In Price Guide $14,100 - $16,100 * Average Km 60,000 - 100,000 * Price When New (RRP) $28,990 ----2 things to consider.. stivos are actually a hard car to sell, they really are, secondly look at the current automotive market, dealers are flogging cars for cheap because they cannot sell them. if i paid 16.5K for the car i would be happy. That's all well and good - but Redbook says the price could be 19 grand with 60,000 on the clock. The car in question has only 31,000 on the clock... so if its in top shape, the price is justified. I doubt the seller would squabble if you offered him a flat 20. You may even get away with 18 or 19. now your talking, offer him 18, he would take it. just dont pay 20k

Hijacked!! ;)

i bet i could find an 03 with 100,000 on the clock and buy it for 14k$ thats a good deal, so is 3 years newer, with 60k less on the clock make an 05 stivo worth 20k ? NO WAY

where is the best place to get them from ?

found this on ebay, would this fit an aussie 03 stivo ? it is advertised as - NEW TRD COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM 2003 MATRIX 6SPD MANUAL link : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-TRD-COL...sQ5fAccessories $357 au cheers im rapt my airbox is cracked , gives me an excuse to get a cai!woo!

I'd join. im melbourne - bloody sick of the wind kick to the head everytime i open the window

while we are on the topic, i got quoted $420 for lowering. i have a choice of superlows and lows. i dont want the car to scrape the guards to rub, would superlows be too much ? too low? anyone know ? (17x8 wheels i think)

lol no ***** its biased, its an opinion

thats a nice grill. its that trd genuine ? (nice plates also... lol

yer true it is pretty finicky. i was just hoping someone would tell me there a special cluctch point where i can get a bonus 50kw or someting, :)

yer.. so. i personaly think the 05 looks a fair bit more modern.

hey guys there is all this talk around about "knowing how to drive a stivo" aka the mission impossible iv been driving manual for 2 weeks now and the stivo is my first manual car. (and id say im doing alright) by this do people mean landing in lift? its not a bloody f1 car. its a toyota corolla. whats all the talk about ? i wish i had a name to direct this too but cbf researching the forums now.... you know who you are................ :)

hey there, i stumbled across this while looking at parts and accessories ? i think its not to bad. but then again im a car newbie http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/home_n.a...tail&id=952 15-25 hp increase

thanks heaps guys, its great for piece of mind. cheers

would anyone be kind enought to let me know what a 50,000 service involves? i dont have a service book. tried getting one from toyota and cant get it til late jan.

cheers mate, that actually did help me. i gota get me some of that good oil. ;)

i think you should use the search function too........ search for a tissue

i see.. so im not the only one that thinks the manual transmission is not so smooth.. you hit the nail on the head when you said "little jaggy edges in the shift" whats everyone else think ?

hey guys, i own a 03 stock sportivo.(had it for one week) every now and then, it feels like the shifts from 1st to 2nd to 3rd are a bit sticky and require a little bit of force to get the stick sitting into the next gear, if i change slower it i can feel clunks and little barriers that i have to push through to get the thing sitting in the next gear, i know its a springy gear box and it works better when shifting in a 2 stage process, like clicking the gear into the half way point and from then clicking it into down into second... does anyone else find the gears a little sticky (not smooth to shift) ?? what could be the cause of this ? my friend tells me that if any force is required to shift gears that is a bad thing.......... like we arnt meant to have to force the gears in are we?? anyone else find the 6 speed not so smooth??

on ya brad, nice ride.! i just bought one also. an 03 model. man coming out of a vt 6.. its nearly impossible to cruise these cars. youl love it!!

hey guys, bought a 2003 stivo a couple of days ago -- loving it.... i consider it a wrx on a budget . i dont have a service book for it. i have downloaded the manual from here, but all i was actually after was the service schedule.. its due for its 70k service and i wanna know what needs to be done, anyone know where i can get that info from ? cheers

has anyoone had any trouble with paint peeling ? most rims cop a beating ..sun and rain and hot brakes and ****.. im thinking this would be a problem ? does it scratch easy? cheers
