Thoughts on this one guys ??

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...s/20?logcode=p

Guys says its purely down to a faulty sensor due to having been fitted with a ss exhaust ?? just taxed for 6 months. owned for three years - serviced by a mate/ belts not changed - gulp at 60k ??!!

Lowest he would go would be £3700, worth a try at £3500 or keep looking ???? like the colour / gold 19 alloys but wary about 60k and serviced by a mate - should I be ???

Looks nice, but I've heard it said that while 18s work well on Newages 19s don't.

60k is a low mileage, but plenty around with garage service histories.

whats with the h/lamps dont looks normal - aftermarket ?? this lamba sensor or whatver its called could it be the ss exhaust causing it to show up an error light ??

Yes m8, Headlights are Morettes £350 of anyones money, Lambda sensor could be on due to de-catted exhaust, ie sensor is giving a high exhaust gas reading triggering the engine light

Okay cheers for the additional info mate, what advantages do the Morrettes give over the standard h/lamps ?? worth offering £3500 after viewing or as suggested plenty more out there with a proper s/h ???

WRX's do not fetch an awful lot of money these days, NickScofield (now clio172, or something) couldn't get rid of his for £2k, eventually sold at auction and again on e-bay a week later for £2.6k.

The 19" wheels ruin the ride (well they did on my car) and the rear spoiler is not an sti item but a cheap copy ..... I'd be very wary of buying a car with the engine light on !
