+1 for a bug sti. Problem is even poor condition ones are worth more than that in bits...

This isn't going to be a daily or used to commute in any way... So I wouldn't be buying from a garage or getting finance.. Though there is a import bug Sti for 7k local to me I think. With maybe sub 70k miles too.

If it's Track day toy you're after I would suggest a jdm gc8 Classic and have a few quid left over to fine tune it. You might get lucky and find an RA near your 6k budget

My 2005 WRX is for sale for £5495 if you're interested, just had full service and MOT, cambelt and clutch replaced 14k and 7k miles ago respectively. Car has just done 90k miles, remapped to 290bhp. I'm open to sensible offers

Things have changed a bit recently I would suggest as I've seen a few fairly tidy STI bugs around the 6/7k mark that haven't sold.

Put your budget up by £2k for a nice sti example with low mileage

Wrx's are perfect for daily with ppp package as my little brother has one but it has to be a proper sti for a weekend toy in my opinion
