I've not got a clue what there worth but I would be willing to pay about £6,500ish. Don't be insulated if this is way out but just giving you an example of someone who doesn't know the car/spec that well.

To be honest that is what I was hoping for, wasnt sure if I would get it though.

It's a very nice car and I don't see many of them , I would definitely start at a higher price and work backwards if needed.

p.s what about the reg plate, whats that worth?

£6500 is low mile STI prodrive prices.....

It looks stunning and has a nice spec but in reality it's just a WRX in a pretty frock.
I'd imagine 5K is more realistic.

Dont want to sound harsh, but I think your looking more £4,5k Its not forged, and doesnt have a 6 speed box, so its just got basic bolt on modifications, so if you do want a price look at other UK300's with same mileage and maybe add £500-700 for the mods you have done!!:thumb:

Same mileage as yours but from a dealer!!

Do you have the parts to put it back to standard?
Wheels, lights, seats, engine parts etc

Imo you will get more for returning it to standard then selling on the nice bits after.

End of the day its a uk300, not an sti.

Cheers everyone, hear what you are saying about it is only a wrx at the end of the day, basically I am looking to go to the next level and up the power to 450ish, just trying to work out wether I am best sticking a STI engine & 6 speed into this car or selling up and buying a STI and then modding from there.

Unfortunately I dont have the original parts to return to standard :(

Other option is to go all out and get a forged engine built and go for some proper power haha ;)

Couple more photos up top just for anyone wondering :)

Cheers everyone.

unfortunatly there are not many parts on it that make it a uk300 imo.

you might get lucky and sell it as a well modded one, but i found people want standard uk300's as that is what makes them so.

Yeah, I see the UK300 being fairly irrelevant as like you say there is nothing left on it really... I only bought it originally as it was going cheap, not due to the fact it was a uk300... Appreciate your comments though, looks like I'm going to be best looking for a STI 6 speed box & Engine to stick in this.

What does a WRX Engine and WRX gearbox go for ? £500 for the pair or something like that?

no idea mate, engine id want at least £500 if its in good order.

i paid £300 for a gearbox, rear diff and front hubs off a crashed bugeye (rear end damage)

Just buy a wrx top mount, exhaust and td04 and return it to standard, sell for £4k and put the rest towards an sti, then you still have your parts to mod the next car.

You'll be much better off in the long run, decent 6 speed is £2k and a forged engine is £3k+ so you'll be throwing another 5k at it minimum and still only have a WRX thats worth MAYBE £6k.

Or sell for £4/5k and add the £5k you were going to spend and get an 05 STI or a Spec C / JDM STI, all of which are much better places to sink £10k into.:thumb:

ditch, if that was all I'd need then it would be ok, but its SO much more...

Surely a well modded "WRX" with a forged engine and a 6 speed box in it is worth more than £6k? I'd pay more for sure.

Interesting idea of buying a JDM STI though...

I'm currently selling my prodrive sti for £5500 in northern ireland. 85k miles.

Well, when I saw the list of mods I thought 'that's a UK300 ruined'. Seeing the pictures presents a different picture. OK it's no longer a 300 but that is one fine looking car :thumb:. I've long thought that bugs with the right cosmetic mods are the best looking of the bunch and this illustrates my point.

GLWTS

There was one on here a while back and he struggled to sell it, worth more in bits as is usual.

But honestly mate your a modder and you need to cut your losses on this one because another £5k+ is utter madness when you could be tooling around in a jdm sti for the same money.

Just remove a few of the more expensive parts and sell in a lower state of tune, td04, wrx top mount, wrx exhaust less than 200 quid. but by swaping you'll gain maybe £800 or you can re use as opposed to selling on, most of your mods are inter-changable.

Madness to let it go for peanuts and then buy the parts all over again.

Harsh reality is modded wrx is worth fcuk all compared to the cost of the mods.

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words :)

Either that or I abandon the idea of more power...
