Default newby advice please!

Hi guys, had a look at this impreza today. I might do a p/x with my car on it, just wanted your opinion on it and the price please. The paintworks ok, but there's a slight ding on the rear bumper and some stone chips. I also noticed bc adjustable coil overs and intercooler water spray? Here's the link, hope it works as I'm on my phone. He also said 7k not 7.5k. Just after some advice and opinions please if it doesn't work, just search for subaru, its there only one http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/281674/used-cars.htm

Too expensive, too many miles for the price.

Yeah I thought it was a bit overpriced compared to others I've seen. What should I offer? Im not really bothered about miles, its not made any difference with my car when it comes to selling

It depends if you want an MY02 WRX STi Prodrive style.........if you do then offer him what you think it's worth to you

Didn't see any info on the link if it has PPP, I'll have another look

It sais prodrive and it had prodrive mudflaps and exhaust? I don't know how much the prodrive stuff adds? I'd value it at around 6k?

mycarcheck.com says it is a Prodrive too.

I wouldn't pay over £6k I don't think mate. You are getting in to the blob eye area at that price.

The "Prodrive Style" was a limited edition and commands a premium over the standard UK Bug STi (especially in black)........... If it's the car you want and are willing to pay £6k then offer him £6k and see what he says.

Maybe you should do a bit of homework on the Bug variants

Bug WRX's (non Sti) go for silly prices, no 6 speed, no AVCS and the rest so a bit "low rent" on the spec front.

Bug STi's go for a lot more money and even more for the limited editions........As mentioned If I *wanted* a Prodrive Style and had the cash then my offer would be £6k as it looks pretty unmolested, right down to the orange side markers LOL

now that is very nice BUT unfortunatly i made the mistake of buying a car, (which aparantly doesnt want to be sold) on finance. so my plan is to borrow money ( ) to pay off the finance, then trade it in against an impreza at a garage.

really nice car you have there though
