I have a WR1 too, and they just take a little while to sell, partly I think because many people don't know what they are or how rare and exclusive they are!!
hold out for long enough, and the right buyer will come along

Big fuds bang on...there's cheap and there's 'foook that there's a story' cheap , it's been spotted and put on wr1oc and people have said they wouldn't look at it because of the price
Best thing to do is eBay with a reserve of 7 bags , that way your getting all your money and the buyer thinks he's got the bargain of the week
Glws and free bump

Someone's going to get a bargain!
How many of those 101k miles have you done? I hate to calculate how much that is spent on petrol!
Have you got any bigger pics you can put up? perhaps if people can see the car in better detail you'd have more interest.
If this doesn't sell for £7k then **** knows how much my 53 plated WRX is worth

7k is the right money,
Its good value for money although with the car doing 100k its 7k for a reason !!
Everyones getting excited saying the going rate is 10 - 11k - yes that is about right but them cars have done around the average miles 30 / 40 k
So with that in mind i think this is priced correctly to make up for the high miles, its very realistic and would ideally suit someone that wants a wr1 but 11k is out of there reach,
7k could put a dream car to someone well within reach today rather than saving up for another year or so and paying 10- 11k !!
Good luck with the sale mate!

(from Subaru Press Release) Subaru’s fastest and most powerful Impreza ever – the WRX STi ‘WR1’ – is about to enter dealer showrooms, with more than half of the 500 limited run already spoken for.
The special edition Impreza WRX STi celebrates Petter Solberg winning the Driver’s Title in the 2003 World Rally Championship. It features a power upgrade to 320 PS plus a host of technical and visual upgrades and costs £29,995 on-the-road.
First unveiled in January at the ‘Autosport’ show, the Prodrive-developed ‘WR1’ has just received official Subaru (UK) engineering approval after recording the best performance figures ever for a road-going UK-spec Impreza.
Only 4.25 Seconds To Reach 60 mph
For example, 60 mph is reached in an astonishing 4.25 seconds with the 0-100 mph time at an equally impressive 10.67 seconds. Prodrive technicians also logged a quarter mile time of 12.8 seconds while the top speed is limited to 155 mph.
By comparison, the ‘standard’ 265 PS Impreza STi is quoted with a 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 151.5 mph.
Peak power for the ‘WR1’ is 320 PS at a relatively low 5,800 rpm, with maximum torque or pulling power of 309.8 lb.ft at 4,000 rpm.
The ‘standard’ STi produces 265 PS at 6,000 rpm and 253 lb.ft torque at 4,000 rpm while the optional Prodrive-developed Performance Pack liberates 305 PS and 299 lb.ft torque at the same revs and reaches 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and 100 mph in 12.2 seconds.
Other test track statistics see the ‘WR1’ shaving 0.7 seconds off the STi’s 30-50 mph time in 4th gear – down to 4.0 seconds – and 0.8 seconds off the 50-70 mph time in 5th – now 4.6 seconds.
Finally, illustrating its supercar-like performance, the new ‘WR1’ boasts an 80-100 mph time of a staggering 3.6 seconds in 4th gear and 6.5 seconds in 6th (4.6 and 7.8 seconds for the 265 PS STi).
The ‘WR1’s extra power and torque are achieved thanks to a revised engine control unit (ECU), high-flow catalyst and sports silencer.
Driver-Selected Torque Split Tailors Handling Balance
Also guaranteed to excite enthusiasts is a driver’s control centre-differential (DCCD) via a switch mounted next to the handbrake.
It means the torque distribution between front and rear wheels can be manually selected. This allows the choice, for example, between a sharper cornering turn-in or more stable straight-line running. The system defaults to ‘automatic’ mode whenever the ignition is restarted.
Also new for the ‘WR1’ are special, Prodrive-developed uprated springs and bump-stops with a 25 mm lower ride-height.

in addition to rs4adam's post, a summary of the actual differences between STi 8 and WR1 are as follows:
Visually:
Ice blue paint
Prodrive PFF7 alloys
WR1 tax disc holder with model number (mine is #396
)
WR1 gear ****
Petter Solberg WR Champion signature plaque
WR1 Keyring
Black STi Interior, as opposed to blue
Front driving lights
Performance:
Prodrive backbox
Sportscat in place of first cat
Decat in place of second cat
3 Port boost solenoid
ECU retune by Prodrive
DCCD
Intercooler water spray system
I believe it is lighter too???
Think that is it. Probably missed something and sure someone will correct me...
