just saw this car advertised on a local garages website, what does the SL mean ?

is it something to do with the interior as i noticed in the pictures it doesnt have the blue alcantara interior like any other STI's ive seen

SL means you get full leather interior front and back, heated front seats, leather handbrake and gear stick and electric sunroof. It's nice don't see too many SL's around so nice to be different.

PS. I have one

Inside just check the drivers seat for wear to see if the leather has been looked after and treated. It's leather so expect creases and some wear but just make sure it looks like it's been looked after.

Obvious stuff like checking electrics are working, on a test drive no strange sounds from engine it drives smooth and gear change is smooth. Have a look over the engine bay just to check the condition if you don't know too much about that sort of stuff, and body work for damage, stone chips etc also wheels for kerbing.
Ask the owner about servicing etc check paperwork. Thats about the main things. If it's a trusted garage you might not feel you need a HP check but depends if you feel they are reputable.

Yep, it's definately a WRX that has a few extras to make it look like a STi. If you look at the gearlever, it doesn't have the reverse lift collar that a 6 speed box has, and it has the WRX rims that would not fit over Brembos.
Doesn't make it a bad car though.

Car looks nice the side skirts have been painted this was probably done when the sti rear spoiler was fitted and those heated seats are a real bonus not just this time of year but especially if you ever suffer from back ache.

Yeah definately WRX wheels and scoop, but whoever had it before has made a job of getting it to look like STI, spoiler, front and rear STI badges and exhaust. Looks sweet though. Still got the WRX spolier on mine but looking at getting STI one.
