05' is the best STI evar! If I had my way originally, I would own one now. Nick, what color do you want?

Well, I would like a white one but they have a nasty habit of getting stolen around here lol. So pretty much any color.

I would look for a stock one, you make sure all haetshields are there, give dccd a try and look for any changes in paint color(means it could have been crashed) and I think the best advice I can give is be patient look around for a while, try to get the least amount of miles as you can

Alex says that the '05 (and maybe others?) have a rear diff that wears out after ~60K miles? I forget what type of diff it is, but I guess they moved to a clutch based rear diff later that has a longer life...or something like that.

No issues with the diff on my '05.......63k on it so far.
