Not really, I paid less than that for mine (same year and PPP etc,..), 1 year ago and at a main dealer which are not known for their bargains. It's not a terrible price but they are not doing you any favours either. Should be able to knock them down another £800-£1000 or so, give it a go.

I thought it was an ok price to begin with to be honest! Seen quite a few non PPP'd cars with more miles on advertised for more than that.

Russ, did you used to go on SSC? Your username look familiar.

I got rid of the VTR 6 months ago and bought a black 04 WRX (non-PPP). No regrets. Do it, you know you want to

That's a very good price. Don't be surprised if that car's gone by the middle of next week. 1 owner, WRX PPP, 27k? for £10995. Buy it before it's too late!

Hell yes that is a good price for a UK WRX PPP with such low miles. Dealer in Leeds had an 03 car up for £13495 which sold at that price 2 months ago. Saw a silver Bugeye ay £11995 ona 51 at main dealer in Kent this month. That was without PPP

Arghh, I think the guy that went to see it is having it

Oh well, compared to private selling ones with a bit less miles going for 12k-13k I thought it was a good price.

Judging by the responses on here, I guess I got an exceptional price then. I paid £10,099 for a newage with PPP and 25,000 miles on the clock almost 12 months ago from a main dealer in the north west. Also, check out fords of winsfords too as they do have them from time to time and at very good prices.

BTW, knowing what I know now, I would not get one with PPP on it. You end up getting rid of PPP in the end anyway in the quest for more power and you're better spending the difference on a different upgrade path.

Regards,

I wouldn't be so quick to diss the PPP, non approved re-maps are not everyone’s cup of tea.

PPP gives a worthwhile increase whilst not devaluing the car.

Bit over priced i think, you can pick them up much cheaper just have a look in the trader

Yep, that's one of the reasons why I'm after a PPP. That and the fact that it's a bit less raw than an STi and (I anticipate) will better suit my style of driving

Well anyway the car is still up for sale and they have offered £10,750 on my LCR...so I may pop up there this week if I can get time off Tuesday afternoon and talk business.

I know what you mean about it not being as 'raw', it's not as tacky as the STi either (gold wheels, big spoiler, blue interior). Get them to colour-code the skirts first though!
Keep us informed

Ironically I love the 'look' of the STi
I have to hang my head in shame and say that I will look to add an Sti spoiler and possibly some nice gold wheels of some sort...not because I want to be an Sti wannabe, I just think that cosmetically the car looks better...the blue and gold go well IMO :P
Definately agree on c/coding the side skirts though Wilb!
