As long as it has a FSH and shows now signs of abuse you should be fine. Just carry out the usual checks. Tyres and brakes are expensive to replace.Was the cambelt done at the 5 yr service?. The 6 yr service will be coming up later this year, or early into next, budget around £350 to £400. If the car has been looked after it should be a fun, reliable piece of kit. Good luck. Bob

I bought my 03sti ppp new in sept 2003, the only issue I have had in the near Six years is the Knocking rear suspension. Easily fixed with new coilovers
These really are a performance bargain and far better than the previous 2001-2002 models, good choice.
