Why sell the WRX V Ltd for more than the STI?

Regarding insurance, I don't think the UK insurers tell the difference between the WRX and STI 2 doors so I think you pay STI insurance for what is effectively a 2 door WRX.

I would ask if they have the auction sheets for both cars.

i have looked at them via autotrader and the v limited is cheaper on there it seems that they have just not updated there site as its 200 cheaper on autotrader both being reduced.

would they be happy to show auction sheets?

Don't see why not. They can still be forged I suppose but they should have the sheet for each car and the grading given to each car.
