The only way to see the build number is on the tax disc holder or in side the cover of the service book.

there no plaques in the rb320's like previous specials?

What's the deal with these lot then? I have heard bad things about them but no real details... I often have a nose around AutoTrader and they've had a silver Type R on there for about 12 months which kinda sets off the alarm bells.

the cars are complete sheds on the main, unreported crash damage and after sale is shocking. says it all.

It was on the auction house website, where I guess the seller acquired it from last week.

You can find out anything through google

Even with 90+k miles, it's a 1 owner car with FSSH.
With the standard STi interior, it's still a good price!

£14k for a forged RB 12 months ago, is WAY TOO CHEAP!
Must have had multiple owners, high mileage, CAT registered....??

Yeah i agree. I would expect a nice forged example to go for 17-19k, With AP racing callipers costing 2 k alone sounds too cheap to me. Also cars with the higher spec interior fetch more, something a lot of peeps don't take into account when comparing car prices. I saw a 2nd hand leather / alcantara interior sell for £2200 last year.

You generally get what you pay for. if it's cheap it's probably a dog. if it's cheap from a shark dealer than it must be hiding all sought of horrors.

i saw rb320 seats probably from this one above for 1k on ebay
ap's front and rear closer to 4k not 2k

i agree with You, it was only 2days went very quick, it was bargain of the year the same like last year white hatch spec c advert buy it now 17k ,other one now is from traders for 22k or more.
i remember that rb320, i had cash but to long thinking
sometimes good deal come,people loose job,buy new car or they ve got company car,etc.

Worth a look. even at 93k mileage its a good price. If the 2.5 has done that mileage i would think its either a good looked after engine or forged. I would just check for repaired crash damage.
