Looks a clean tidy car, but reality probably worth half of what he is asking!!!

As above, looks like a clean example. Just a case of someone trying to get back what they've put in. Probably worth more as parts.

I agree, would be worth more to him broken for parts, I just don't think anyone will pay that for the car as a whole, im looking for one at the moment and messaged him to say I would be interested but at nowhere near that price, he just said to make an offer but don't think he would like my offer though! lol.

Make him an offer anyway. Tell him to keep the £4.5k wheels and put standard ones back on. That'll earn him a little bit extra.

How much! 110,000 miles! I realise it has had a rebuild but still... I would guess perhaps £7,000? If he's lucky!

Agree about the wheels, if that's the cost he would be better selling them separately! lol.
Yeah he was quick to point out the new engine has only done 10k miles
I was also thinking around the 7-8k mark, if it really is MINT like he says.
Just thinking, should the speedo clock surround not have the blue colour on it as well like the dash, doesn't appear to in the pics?

He should put it back to standard and sell

Has it? First time I have seen it up for sale tbh, take it that the price was the same last time? Maybe why it didn't sell!

Its meant to have blue plastic on the dash and gear surround and blue on the speedo clocks along with the light blue seats, the V Ltds came as standard like that.

This is a version 5 I think

I think only the limited and RA did, I'm sure some expert on here will be able to advise

There was no WRC limited, it's confusing because the plaque inside says wrc. Both are just called WRX STI V6 (or5) TypeR limited.
The blue seats and dash trim wasn't seen until the V6 limited car.

Yes, only the limited got the fancy blue bits.
Same as the V5 cars except the limited V5 didn't get blue bits inside.

There is quite a few around believe it or not. I've seen a few for sale etc and theres some on here.
The blue bits are still available to buy new from ICP should a non limited owner want to tart up their interior. I've never been a fan to be honest.
