The garage have stated that it comes with 12 months MOT and that they will repair the front bumper because it's covered in stone chips. I'm not so sure I'm fussy about them doing that because I think the car needs a full re-spray anyway (viewed it last Saturday because I was passing the garage and it's covered in marks) - and I'd be quite happy to save up some cash and get that done properly. Also, I'm not really sure I can be bothered with the hassle of a dealer doing half a job and claiming they've done the full works. I think the car needs tyres too because it has been sitting on their forecourt for around 2.5months and they were very flat when I viewed the car last week - so I'm a bit concerned that they'll be flat spotted now, plus the alloys may have started to dig in internally. The garage have assured me of service history inc. timing belt etc...by the sounds of it it's been well looked after.
Windscreen price is £6500, I was hoping to get it for less if I'm honest, my budget is probably £6k max.
not trying to sound harsh but if your willing to pay £6k for a base spec wrx that needs a full respray and new tyres then you must be willing to have your head opened up and inspected..............
thats a 3k car.
save another 1.5-2k and have a nice sti thats been looked after.

Ha...fair enough. I didnt mean it to sound like i was wanting to pay £6000 for it but thats my budget. I’m wanting to pay as little as possible for it. It has been there for a couple of months (plus) so i’m hoping they’ll take what i offer. I’m not really sure what to offer though.

dont offer anything mate.
if you are set on a wrx then a mint example could be had for around £4.5k.
Buy this one if ZANY looked after it, it's going to be mint
Yes mate it’s mint as I’ve looked after it myself with any part needed replaced by genuine or better always ran on millers cfs 10/50 and black genuine filter, all parts replaced for genuine or better performance items
little brother wants a sti now only reason for sale will be listing on eBay at £5200 in a few week with better pics
I bought my UK300 PPP for 4200 in 2012 it needed new brakes / suspension but was otherwise a clean 80k car. I have since spent 6k to make it go better than a Std Sti , so that's not a good long term strategy but I only had 5k at the time in my pocket. So I would say if you like the look of the car and can't wait to save for a better spec one. Then look for a nice clean one , As all these "Newage" cars are now >13 years old and therefore leap of faith mechanically you will be tinkering with them anyway.
OP: imho, it's always better to buy a specialist car from an enthusiast, particularly one with a known provenance.

thanks guys means that means a lot much appreciated
it is a very clean and genuine example with the ppp package left alone comes with certificate all modifications have been carried out by myself which help improve the handling,brakes,and the flat four rumble it’s a daily and is very reliable as my brother uses it for work and back so it’s not sat doing 800miles a year as m8ne does.
The OP car advert is from a Subaru Dealer with a Subaru Proven Warranty supplied hence the price.
paperwork is always nice, but it's not as nice as KNOWING that it has been well cared for from an enthusiast who is known to numerous other enthusiasts..and perhaps hundreds of posts on forums etc...Buying from a stealer isn't worth the £1000+ premium in my view.

There have been numerous "no expense spared" or "my pride and joy cars" sold that have very different evidence presented. My first check is tyres, very important and your link to the road. If they are cheap budgets, what else is?
