is may have ppp pack fitted (should have cirtificate if so) but it is not a prodrive style model and i feel its a tad over priced as some fantastic bug sti's have sold around the 6k mark recently. note is does not declare prev owners and also says bmw service history?????

along with the usual checks also when test driving as slow speed listern for rear suspension knocking or a slight dip (like a pot hole thats not there when coming to a stop) as the rear suspension is a common fault not that hard to get sorted but get £££ of car if needed to

No rear wash wipe so not JDM, could be UK, euro or Malta sourced STi. Few bits have been changed, certainly didn't come with the spoiler or lights...........

PPP is worthless so looks about £1k overpriced, looks like a tidy example though

It's a nicer spoiler tho'.

What's wrong with the lights ?

P.S. Looks like a tidy STI at around the right money for the miles.... IMHO.

Nothing wrong with the lights Dunx.............they are just too dark to have come with the car from the factory for a non JDM model.

I still think it's overpriced but I guess the trader has to makesome profit LOL

Well i had a look at it, and it is in really really good condition(bar a couple of very small stone chips and scuffed wheels), It has a Nurspec exhaust on plus a few other small mods, but no PPP certificate, it does drive very well aswell with no bangs or knocks, i am gonna have a think about it, thanks for your input guys
