Overpriced IMHO. Look on Pistonheads for similar 11 year old STi's and then compare prices.

I've been trying but it's hard with all the mods, what price would you put on the car above?
Thanks for your help.

Depends on what sort of power shes putting out, what miles are on the clock, whether the car has been mapped for U.K. fuel, and whether or not the engine has gone pop/been rebuilt.

I would find out about the mapping. Only as Jap fuel is a higher RON rating than U.K. fuel. Others on here know far more than I do regards this, so someone will verify that dude.

Just seems overpriced for what is an older car, especially in the current market.

Maybe do a search for similar P-plate import Sti's and see what sort of price they are being advertised at and selling for.

Examples I found after a quick search on P/heads mate...
Subaru : SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 WRX STi 4 FACELIFT TURBO
Subaru : impreza sti
Quality Jap Car Sales : 280bhp IMPREZA WRX-STi VERSION 3- 4WD- REDTOP ENGI

Loads more examples for under what you have been quoted. Hope that helps.
