It'd need to be very cheap, it looks like an early car that had the 98 face lift done to it, (slanty intercooler)..... it'll clearly need a apir of doors, rear quarter sorting, wheel, suspension re-alignment at the very least.... painting and refitting...... so quite a game..... for a car that would be worth no more than maybe 3 grand when it was finished.....
It might be slightly different if it was at least an STI... but a mere WRX...???

I wouldnt pay nomore than £1250 for it,
it may look ok but you have to consider:
*repair costs (paint the whole side, 2 doors, repair rear 1/4, front suspension)£600-£800 ish
*replacing damaged missing front alloy (who knows what make/cost)
*possible CAT converter damage (forklifts used in salvage yards)
*Car is cat 'C' damaged meening it needs a vic check(£36) then is noted on the v5 logbook car has been substantially repaired. Afecting resale value.
Try importing one you can pick up wrx's sti's of the same age that are not damaged for the same kinda price landed in the uk, just £135 to register it.
