2002 bug WRX is pretty much de-tuned to only 215PS and engine is not massivly stressed......so it's a matter of looking around for the usual items you would do for any other car. Check oil for sludge, noises, big burst of blue smoking when accelleration, check histiory as above. Bug WRX has no STi fancy bits so is a lot cheaper second hand...........

Ariel should be in the rear window and not the a-pillar.

Any link to the sale ?

Maybe because some of these wheels suffer from paint bubbling near the centre cap.

"120% HPI clear".....

What does that mean, lol.

Looks cheap at £2500 but the advert states £3600... Not so cheap.

Looks like a pretty almost unmolested example. Brakes have been painted gold, new Dump valve, exhaust has been changed (came with twin peashooter). Should go for £2500 if it comes with a warranty
