That is a ok spec and power for a Wrx but you have to take into consideration that the car is now at it's limits power wise and the next step will require stronger engine and gearbox. That is almost Sti money and a uk 300 is not worth any more than a Wrx and so try and get the price down as in today's market that is worth around 4800.

Sorry just realised it is a 05 plate not a 03


Still don't go above 5500 as there is no mention of better braking upgrades do that will need addressing

It's too expensive.
Id also be concerned about all the stickers, we're they fitted to cover up bad paint or scratches etc etc.

I didn't bother looking at the pics once I knew it had decals, just looked at the spec instead
