Default Think a certain Mr Tony Burns always gets asked this!

Since being a member on here Tony Burns always gets called upon to get a realistic price on cars or items for sale.
If you see this then bud give me your advice

Anyone elses views eagerly awaited

Been looking for either a Forged Evo RS or a well sorted Type R, been hanging over this for a while but is it worth the premium its owner is asking? I know things are sometimes worth what some one is willing to pay! Anyway here it is, what other things should it have for this price also?

Definately wouldnt pay that much for it to start with, picked up a 6 year newer Spec C with 21k on the clock for £499 more, better gearbox, engine is just as capable, A-DCCD etc, knock him down to say 7.5 and yes, probably, but 10.5k no chance

It is a bit on the pricey side!

The most expensive **** WRX plate on DVLA is £499.

But someone may want it.

A possum Bourne gearbox is a dog gear kit from OZ , used to be fairly popular with the rally cars until the modena kits became available

Agreed with above £8k tops for me but that would be dependent on what the actual mileage is on the clocks too. Fine it has only done 2k miles on the new engine, but it doesn't state current mileage. Important omission for me.

To much and what turbo is it ???It states and i quote....Turbo only the 2nd in the country????similar spec to the garrett gt30 but slightly bigger.Sounds like some made up one bits and bobs thrown together also we all can give a dyno sheet pub figure.

You want my advice? to much money and not used enough to know if its reliable.

Apart from that its great lol stop rushing in take your'e time get the right one at the right price if you want a nice spec new age 56 plate 400-400 give me a shout can sort you out a proper deal.

Didnt know the late and great Possum Bourne had a tuning company, most people just use PPG stuff or 6 speed boxes, unless Tony Rigoli used em?
