Default Buying a MY95 WRX STi RA

Hi,

Been a while since I owned a scoob but the time has come to venture back after a while with other makes.

I'm going to look at a 1994 MY95 WRX STi RA next weekend and would like a few pointers as to what to look out for.

basic stuff I know pretty well but the dccd is something I know nothing about, how do you test them during a test drive.

car is supposed to be pretty mint apart from minor age related marks and has covered a guaranteed 80k miles. no or not many mods.

Does anybody know what its worth also?

Thanks for any help.
Nick.

Im not sure these had the dccd, these were still a modified wrx compared to the version 2's which did have the dccd (option i think).
Worth about 2k.

Thanks for the feedback, I thought £4.5k was a little steep but I'm now thinking £2k is a little on the cheap side, nice thought but I've never seen a unmolested genuine 80k wrx for that. I dont know though hence the question, so if I go somewhere in the middle..........??

The car is fitted with a dccd and reading on the interweb it should have one fitted but I'm finding little on how to check if its ok apart from clunking noises while turning. I read if you jack the back of the car up and rotate backwards, the diff should allow the rear wheels to turn and the fronts not but if you rotate fully forwards to lock the diff, it should drag the car along on the jack but i cant see the guy letting me do this just incase the car fell of the jack lol, straight through the boot floor!

Cheers,
Nick.
