At first I was going to laugh at the price...£5,995 for a 14 year old turbo... and this is, as he states, WITH a £1000 discount!!


BUT...then I read the specs, and it seems the price tag is justified... afterall... it's "one of the best in the country!" and a rare car with "only 200 made worldwide" and "drives better than anything new"!!

YOUR GOING TO BE NOTICED IN THIS ITS FAST ITS 2 TONE BLACK AND GOLD 3000 POUND PAINT WORK TOO MUCH TO LIST
Innit!
One of those people who assume that a car that's had £17k on it is worth alot of that.
Oh and you'd get noticed alright. People would be saying look at that **** I wonder how many G's he paid for that.

My money's on it ending up on eBay soon.

its just a v1 STI with a very bad paint job, for 17k you could actually buy a spec c, waste of money on that car though....

At one stage it was up for a lot less than that!!!

once the eventual buyer realises what they've bought, that may well happen.

personally i think there should be laws against doing this sort of thing to scoob's.
