18K is far too high for an '02 STI with that mileage. You can pick up a brand new Euro 2005 STI for 20K, so that price is madness. Have a look on Autotrader, you can pick them up a lot cheaper with much less miles.

thanks for that lemOncurd, will keep looking but they are pretty few n far between up here in scotland, lots of choice if willing to travel 200+miles to see.
many thanks for examples mate.
ps mate, the one i have been looking at up here is a prodrive style, dunno if this should make any difference to value.

Hardly any - it's a purely cosmetic difference, and the standard car actually looks better IMHO.

Looks like you need to make a weekend of it and head south, you'll save a fortune.
