Default Type R wanted! Cash waiting!

Hi all. Im looking for an Impreza Type R. Preferably one with few modifications. Just missed out on a really nice looking one that I saw on Pistonheads from Hurst car sales. Cant see any on here for sale under the for sale section, so if anyone on here has one or knows of someone selling one then send me a message. Thanks in advance, Lee.

Well, I've got 13k to play with but don't want to spend the whole lot on a car. So thought if I budget myself to about 6.5-7k, that should get me a decent enough R?

I would be willing to stretch a bit further but like I said I don't want to be spending the lot on one

Im thinking of selling my type r soon, it's currently got a 6 speed in it but I could remove that and put the original 5 speed dccd box back in and bring it into your budget.
