well it has a later sti spoiler on it granted but thats a mod that suits the car, my car has an aftermarket splitter doesnt mean its not right.
ffs its a ten year old impreza theres not many that havent got a few mods left, and that spoiler adds to the attraction of the car to a buyer i would think.

that looks about right for a bug sti. values have dropped lately due no doubt to running costs.

Try contact here Gary@Keith Mitchaels or A-Plan etc for better insurance deal.
First time when we are bought Impreza we are went like you for WRX,but if we know we would go for STi its cheaper to modified..

Its hard decision,but think to future...

God luck anyway,matey

That car loks like a MY02 WRX STi Prodrive style...... with extra fog lights cut into the covers for some idiotic reason...... correct spoiler, side skirts, lights, blue clocks, interior.

As it was registered after it left prodrive it should say prodrive style on the V5..... if it's straight (and not a copy) then it's good value IMHO

i see you are a new member and im guessing not already a subaru owner.
the costs dont stop after the insurance fella,
people talk about mpg but when your putting £20 for 70 miles (less if your driving round town and pressing on a bit) it puts fuel costs into perspective added to that the sti only uses 99 ron fuel which costs even more.
i was not fully aware of how much these cars cost to live with and i must admit i was shocked when i first got mine.
but that said they are a great driving experience albeit not a cheap one.

Its definitely cheap and it comes up as a true prodrive,like shaun says i cant understand why the fog light covers are cut but apart from that it all looks ok,maybe knock a few quid of for the temp sensor and a £10 for the i/c water
If you look closely it looks like the fog lights have been swapped for driving lights which would explain the cut covers.
