hi there only just registered on this forum , looks great , im in the process of selling my car and getting a subaru i just need a bit of help from you guys

the car im getting is a version 6 wrx sti its a w reg and done 41k , says its got a 1 off kit on it (but its not)light weight gold wheels and over 320 bhp , now im selling my car for 10k and he wants to do a swap should i do it or will i be looking out as the car isnt worth that much?

he says he paid 13k for it 5 months ago and wants to do a straight swap shall i go for it or not as i cant find anywhere how much these things are worth


thanks rick

10k for a 99/2000 sti sound very hi imho its got fairly low miles on it for a 6 year old car but all depends on how the car has been run etc has is got service history. what mods have been done? has it been remapped? if so by who? all questions i would want answering. best advice i can give is shop around and don't just buy the first thing you see.

ok fella ill ask him some of those questions as hes only rang me and txt me some pics said he wants to come down tmw and have a look dont see why it wouldnt hurt to have a look at it

no prob chap just need to be a bit carefull as there are alot of s**t heeps out there but as you say it can never hurt to have a butchers. sti's run 280bhp as standard so by the sounds of it it's prob had a new decat exhaust, induction kit and remapp maybe a light flywheel if your lucky.

he just rang me again and said that he bought it as it was from gm imports and everythin was done to it he hasnt touched it

maybe try and find a number for the place he got it from and give them a bell. see what they can tell you about the car.
