It's worth nothing like what you would for it if you repair it. If you repair it you would need to keep it.

I'm interested in the seats are they leather and door cards.

Theres usually some reason why these cars are missing their tax disc holders seeing as they go some way to defining the identity of the car .... just the same as RB5's without the dash plaques usually have an unwanted history. Did you HPI the car before you bought it?

Without knowing other details of the car (mileage etc), 320's with standard interiors are struggling to make £18K privately just now. Theres another Cat D car with low miles and leather/alcantara, sat nav etc on the market just now at £15,195 .... but has been for months .... the seller is going to have to drop a fair bit further before he gets a sale .... probably £14K or below. I would reckon something nearer £12-£13K would be a guide for yours, fully repaired .... unfortunately, no-one wants cat D cars, and 320's with the standard interior are not popular either!!

As a guide:
A Standard 2001-2004 STI's seem to break between £5'500 - £8'500 IMHO

Any subaru garage will be able to tell you what number it is & im sure you can get another tax disc holder.All you need to tell them is the reg & vin number.

Very true .... but a missing tax disc on a 320 usually means someone is trying to hide the history of the car!!

Very true...

Another place to look for the number is inside the RB320 service booklet, that should have the build number written in bold on the second page lower corner.

Given that the tax disc is missing, will be surprised if the original service book exists!!

i wouldnt repair that car, and sell it as a CAT D, you could have the car for months if not longer once its repaired, as its a very limited market and cat D or C always puts of loads of buyers.

would do whats financially best for you, and then consider buying another mint one instead.
