Default Newbie in need of first time buying advice....HELP!

Hi guys, i have just joined and am in need of some advice, im currently a VW man (please dont hold that against me!) and i have been offered a straight swop, my golf for a WRX, the chap has told me its a lightweight body with a WRX STi V3 engine running 280bhp, does this sound correct for starters? My other issue is, what should i be looking out for when having a look around the car apart from the obvious checks? I would really appreciate any help. Many thanks. Adam

year and model would not really apply to scoobs as most with be modded , some with engine changed as well
the light weight body scoob would be the sti ra or the wrx ra , both are jap imports .
