Good price for a Spec C 03
Guys,
Seen this on Autotrader, thought it was a good price if anyone was looking for one.

I have driven that car . . . . . it's the quickest Scoob I've ever driven. Any gear, any speed it just pulls the horizon towards you. However, as I intended to buy for everday use and with a wife and two 4 year olds to ferry around I found it just too harsh.
The car is in immaculate condition and I believe has been in the UK since last Oct/Nov time. The dealer specialised in jap imports with a fair number on new Evo's in stock.
I eventually bought a MY05 JDM STi and whilst not quite as quick (a bit heavier) it is easier to live with on a daily basis.
I would not hesitate to recommend that car and can only suspect the price keeps dropping as its been on his books for a while and is dearer than UK spec car.

Mine is pushing an astonishing ammount of torque but i think that one wont sell because its a limited (believe it or not!)

I wanted to Buy this particular car, had loads of Emails back from them but offered naff all PX for my Car, I eventuly sold my Car cash and so emailed him, I'm a buyer with £20K cash, now no PX wanting that Car 
Like most a tad worried about the VERY low miliage why!!! so wanted to know if any Japanese History. Having a long trip, loads of Cash, didn't want to find out it was once a write off or big Bodywork repair or £17,000 and £2,000 fees etc
So I replied to his above Email
Which I thought was fair, I'd have asked it before handing over Cash anyway
Guess what!!! NEVER got a Reply, is there a catch, pehaps I just asked the wrong questions
Never seen a salesman turn his nose up at £20K cash buyer,
So looked around elsewhere andI bought MY06Sti from someone I could trust
IMHO IIRC AFAICR

Can you give a little more detail on the Sperc C (I am fully aware of the Specification)
I assumed that price is OTR including Road Tax, Mot and SVA etc and 12month warranty?
I would be gatefull for any of the following info. Japanese service history, how many previous owners, any major work-engine or bodywork, import grade etc. etc.
