The standard SpecC has them, but the V-Ltd version has the Sti wheels instead.

BTT, these are lovely cars and a totally different drive to the UK STi - good luck with the sale, someone will get a bargain there

After a run out today...I find myself amazed no-one has snapped this car up,
Maybe you need to have drove one to realise the power and handling differences
I did !!!




No-one ??? At 5000mls it's barely broken in!

Trouble is Sam, I think it's just that little bit over must peoples budget. If it were priced slightly lower then you would stand a better chance of selling it I reckon.

There is a 4,500 mile Lancer MR340 for sale over in the "cars for sale" section that has lost £9k in 4 months! so don't feel too bad about losing another grand or two if you want a quick sale.
Good luck though

Hi John You may be right.

But the car does retail new at around 28k so it's still a good saving

And i may be opening my mouth without knowing the facts...but i think there are more MR's to choose from thus my car being a little rarer ( and from a previous experience a little faster) Or maybe i was just a better driver than he, but i doubt that

I have not gone the dreaded trader route yet, as i am not too desperate to sell yet, and i hate tyre kicker's, but it's an option !

Regards Sam

Have you seen the brand new 54 reg Red Spec C Ltd with a 12 month warranty from Wicked Kit for £21,995 ?
I think that may be your problem, I know which one I would prefer to buy for £22k..
No offense

John ..Give them a call I did out of interest.
And all the rest that are advertised.....I have bought a car off one of the trader's advertising cheap spec c ltd's, and let me tell ya, I paid top money for a STI, got home , and the Spare wheel had gone, the fog light covers were missing from the back seat, the mini disk was blown, shall i carry on ???


If you notice the reputable dealers like Litchfield's want good money for the same car. But yes there is cheaper ones, But you have to ask why ???
And why are they not sold, Most of the one's i rang before advertising were not even on the road, some not even in England.

Also i must stress that when i bought the car It was the best on offer, Not one of the cars that i saw go through auction that had been repaired, had paint or higher milage. It has had both services, and not been tracked.

Why should i have to sell my car for less than it is worth ????
There is no more cheaper !!!!!!!!!

21K is a bargain

Sorry darlin didn't mean to ruin your for sale thread, just thought I'd point that one out at Wickedkit.
200 miles on the clock and is in the showroom as we speak for £21,995. Just got off the phone from him.

Good luck
