if you ask me... i think ur mates totaly right... 8.5 i would say MAX !! but for a R reg + the type of miles hes done on there the car has 2 b top fukin nortch condition for 8.5k but if its got or needs work done to it den 8k all day long !
Best thing 2 do is go and meet him & go for a test drive and take some1 who knows about there scooby! Also find out if its got full service done !
i hope that helps !
PeeeP PeeeP over n out !

There`s an absolute minter in the for sale section for 10k. Only done 22k with full uk service history. That is a bit special. But for an average version 4 i wouldn`t pay more than 8k if that. For 10k you want atleast a nice version 5.

Thanks guys, really not sure now!!!! 
Yeah, I was going to get the lights done too, prefer the standard ones.
So the general consensus is 8.5 for it with 380 bhp?????

There is no 'hard and fast' rule for buying a modified car. You have to work out what has been spent, whether it has the 'correct' upgrades and whether it has been set up by a pro tuner.
To be honest, if it is what he says it is, then 8.5K is quite a bargin!

its got a version 6 rear spoiler and 22B bonnet vents which he has not mentioned in the auction. I have to agree, 8.5K would be a bargain.
I paid 18000EURO for my 1998 Version 5 and it was standard.

I totally agree with above, its probably had £6k+ spent on the engine alone if what the guy says is true, but make sure you get it checked properly, go through all the receipts etc.etc.
380bhp sounds like a realistic figure, if its a clean, straight car then i personally think if you get it for £8.5k then you will definatly be getting yourself a bargin. Enjoy.

I 'think' they have similar spec if not the same,spec as normal Type Rs.
Plus they have an emblem on the boot.
It should have the red inlet manifold being a STI of that vintage.
Link to said car mate?

there are a few things about that car on ebay that worry me.
1) poor pictures,
2) blue seats---standard, blue dial surround---standard, yet this guy uses them as a selling point saying they are rare.
3) roof vent---standard on V-Ltd
4) and most important he says he is running 370BHP on a standard VF28 turbo?
5) thats alot of power with no front mount intercooler
6) 370BHP and no obvious brake upgrade!

Don't know why it has a V4 steering wheel?
It also has the plaque, which is good.

The blue seats were not only fitted on v6 type r limiteds....the version 5 wrc 555 sti type ra annd non sti type ra also has them as standard..althuogh for some strange reason the version 5 type r limited didn,t have them....well on the ones i have seen anyway..
