£17k should get you an STi, but maybe not with as many toys as you list. For insurance try A-Plan, who won't mind the mods

hi,
thanks to those of you that came back to me with the offer of advice,it is appreciated.
I did go back to the dealer and negotiated a price of £15750, to include 12 months road tax and as I mentioned previously the vehicle also has 2 services remaining free of charge.
I did ulimately feel that all the work and expense that the car had been thrown at it warranted the price paid,bearing in mind that it has been rolling roaded at 292bhp, it still seems a cheap car, that is only just over 18 months old.
ps. I did also get to keep all the parts of the car that had been replaced with others,exhaust, radio/cd spoiler etc.so can poss. Ebay them for a few quid??

Hi
You could stick them on ebay, personally I would keep them - if you want to sell the car second hand you will make more money returning the car to standard and selling the mods on seperately. Thats a long way off though considering you are just buying the car
If you have the room, I would keep them.

Yes the fnal price was £15750 and the car has also had other work done in addtion to the PPP including some sort of re-map, I am sure some of you guys will know the car as i understand the previous owner was a scoobynet member and had the car "rolling roaded" at a meet! I will try and find out the private palte it was registerred under.

The main dealer was Haddocks, Colchester, Essex and in the "dealers" words had created a lot of interest, but then you'd expect him to say that! still I'm happy, will try and put up some pics it really does look very nice and aggressive!
