Default does anyone know info on this car?

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2704687.htm

As per title really, the company that has the car don't really know anything about the car, I have been to view the car and I really really like it, it seems to have had a lot of money spent on it,

It was a wrx but has sti turbo and intercooler, air filter, also has massive ap racing 6 pot 355mm discs, and eibach pro street coilovers.

What I'm not sure about is whether it been remapped etc,

The company selling it said that the original owner moved abroad to work 10 months ago with the intention of coming back but decided to stay abroad and left his parents to sell the car, his parents called the dealer and they bought it.

I did notice a club sticker in the back window but I have a rubbish memory and can't remember it, so I just Going round all the Subaru sites

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance Ricky

Yeah weren't sure if anyone on here knew of it.

Been looking around at others and I keep coming back to this car, I know perhaps I shouldn't as it there's a possibility of it being trouble,

But I'm willing to give it some tlc its such a nice car it be a shame for some chav to grab it and run it into the ground,

I have no intention of paying any where near the asking price,

I have had a good look round the car there is 1 or 2 things that need sorting, would just like to try and find some form of history before making an offer, if no history is found then I shall carry on looking for a different car

If you have a 6.5k budget then finding one shouldnt be that hard, you get more for your money with an STI than you do a WRX......im not dissing WRX's so WRX owners please dont jump on my case...

Don't buy a shed and try to do it up to former glory, i tried that with my first subaru and ended up selling it. It was a waste of time and money.

It can be done, but the amount of cash involved makes the vehicle owe you more money than it is worth.
