Default Is it time to scratch the itch?

Afternoon all, so Iv been having a bit of a thin out of some of my current projects and cars and last week I begrudgingly sold my old Alfasud. Which I know I will come to regret later on in life.
Now Iv wanted an Impreza for some time and have been looking at blobeyes but this weekend Iv just been offered a version 1 sti wagon import, in a run of 200 I think it's pretty low batch. Single figure for sure. Can't remember exactly, They are the second owners in this country and I know the car. Belongs to a relative, what should these beauty's go for? Think it has around 80k on the clock. Relatively standard bar full decat exhaust and a set of 18" wheels, It did have the usual rally graphics on it but they've now removed them. But the glue needs removing as it's still sticky tbh. Bit annoying. Has slightly bubbly arches, but all in all could be very nice once it's all been gone over with properly. Convince me I must resist
