Get a HPI, thats a must.....also seems a little expensive for a WRX in STI clothing....to me anyway....also i dont know what a "WRX 300" is....Uk 300 yes, WRX 300 - nope...

You would get the real thing for that kinda money....by which i mean, you would get an STI, not WRX dressed up...


Anyone else??

Seems a bit steep. There are sti's in the for sale section on here for not much more money with less miles and much better spec!

Fair enough mate. For me its around £1500 too much in todays market, but if a deal works then so be it....HPI it, and have a thorough test drive, good look round it mate.

Good luck with it...

If you want to **** away £1500 on this deal then do so. Personally I would drop the sale price of your vxr, and buy what you really want.

A wrx isn't going to blow you away power wise, I recon your best getting an sti purely because your coming from a fast hatch, I think a wrx will be a dissapointment.

What always makes me laugh is when dealers state 'cleanest in the country' really? Have you looked at all the others?
