Not a bad car (think the paint job is a bit ballsy but thats my opinion)
For a 2003 however, the price is very over inflated.
You could get a 2004-2005 jdm sti for 10k.
Have a look on the private cars for sale section on here before you commit to buying anything!!

Welcome

If you don't know much about scoobies I'd try and find an unmolested example....

Far too much, unless you're after the looks of the car!

UPRATED UP PIPE HEAT WRAPPED AND DECAT
These cars don't have a cat in the up pipe (however someone has ghone through the effort of heat wrapping it), so this is where you might be paying for things you think are a plus, but are actually standard!!
Like midlife says, look for a nice, clean, standard or lightly fettled example.

If you are looling for a UK Blobeye car then.....

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...pe-uk-ppp.html

This looks like a well looked after car and fairly standard for scoobynet too

However with £10 grand to spend you could get a newer car...

Or if you want a pain free and cheap intro to subaru ownership the Bugeye WRX has plenty of get up and go compared to the average corsa.........here's a nice on from the TTS website IMHO
