Default Is this car worth £22k?

Lots of mods, very rare car, would it be worth it???. no doubt a cracking track car.

Personally i dont like the bonnet, and a good weapon standard, looks like to many bits stuck on.

Just my opinion.

I dont think it's worth 22k to be honest, i doubt i would pay above 17-18k for it.

If it can run at 550 why is it running "a safe" 400 ?

500 would be safe "IF" it's a 550 motor.

Sorry but after the Sti I bought that was TSL modded I would be very careful.
It has taken me 3 years and a lot of pain to finally get the car sorted.
Thanks to FB Tuning my Sti has now been sorted and performs the way it should have when I bought the car
Glad to know mine is valued at around 22k though, and its an 06

I wouldn't even offer him £15k for it, some people have no taste.

Paint the wheels black, lose the stickers and replace the bonnet and I would drive it no problem.

£22k What sort of cost would you be looking at to do the type of engine mods it has?

Why is it only running 400BHP when you are supposedly able to run that power level on standard Spec C internals?

I can understand why he's kept it at 400bhp as he might be driving it daily so doesn't need silly power.

budgie I thought you had a type 25?
