Thats very cheap... also the spec D is a normal Sti with more discrete styling IE small spoiler ect. Why then add a prodrive high level???

Not sure about that one.
£11000 sounds cheap for a Spec D.
Its got high miles at 48000.
If I was going to think about buying it I would have the AA do an inspection for peace of mind.

Seems about £2k too cheap, but maybe they can't shift it..?

Additions are the Prodrive big rear wing and the little red STI badge on the grille. AFAIK none of the UK Spec.D's came with that badge and certainly not with that wing as standard. There should also be a little chrome sticker at the bottom of the B-pillar stating it's a genuine UK spec.D, only visible when you open the door.

DV plate is Shrewsbury area reg.

Lots of us spec.D owners turned up here: https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...roll-call.html

Looks to me like it's simply a dealer who's being realistic on Subaru values, especially as the miles are a little high. It doesn't seem to be a typical ebay scam as it's also on the dealer's website. Go and have a look at it, can't go too far wrong as it's still under warranty.

Not many people want a car that uses loads of fuel and costs over £400 a year to tax at the moment.

Looks genuine, as v8voodoo says, the red STi grille badge and spoiler are the additions - the smartnav/pioneer head unit and the seats are the main give aways when looking at a Spec D as opposed to a standard crystal grey STi with a WRX spoiler.

Someone bought another Spec D from the dealer when I picked mine up and he had the Prodrive spoiler fitted - wasn't this one though.
