I am looking at a 02 Prodrive STI PPP that has 95k on the clock with FSH. It’s had a cam belt and a clutch but is owned by a 20 year old lad
What sort of mileage have others done with these without major problems and would you buy a high mileage one.
It’s priced about £2k under a good low mileage one but can’t decide if it’s worth the risk or wait for a lower mileage one.

 

the 20 year old lad owner is more off putting than the milage

 

I am worried about that aswell.
It may be worth going to look at if I can get a cheap flight.

 

I got my 53 plate up for sale just over 100k it drives well its been looked after. I wouldnt be put off, id be more put off if the car had been resprayed, each tot there own though.

 

My std clutch lasted 42,000 miles, but that was running loads more power.... If you can get some idea of how little is original it might help. Or budget for a new clutch/brakes/shocks anyway ?

dunx

P.S. I'd still save up and wait a month ( 2009 reg ) till the dealers get desperate to get shifted.
