Obviously take your time and do what you feel is best for yourself, the big positive with my car is the engine has been rebuilt by Mark at TDR using only OEM parts to keep its originality, as you know yourself as engines get older they become harder to get through MOT's and even with the JDM 2.0 twin scroll they are not bullet proof from the common issues that Subaru engines have. You wouldn't have to worry about that with my car as i've had that work done for any potential new owner at a cost of £6k with all the invoices included from TDR, it sailed through its MOT recently with no advisories and was well under the emissions limit as you'd expect with practically a new engine.

I'm open to sensible offers on the car, i'm sure the first person that views and drives it will want the car as it literally is like driving a new car, the engine feels amazing as does the new clutch that went in at the same time.

Yeh a 20th Anniversary Spec C would be some car, with all the high end Sti handling extras that Subaru put on this car to make it the 20th Anniversary Edition its literally like driving on rails and it handles like a dream, i love how quick the steering rack is compared to my UK 2.5 Sti Hatchback, the difference is like night and day..

Do a CARVX check on those "cheap" JDM hatch cars. Grade 4b on the advert, grade shouldn't be on road lol more like. Not saying thats the case with all of them but there are a number of cars that are very suspect.

Do your homework, spend your money

@The Joshua Tree belonged to a forum member's wife on here before Rob bought it, he had the engine rebuilt back to factory standard too. Quite a few of us know this car too so depending on budget worth a look.

edited to add the red r205 I think belongs to a member on type ra. He has priced it lower than others because its been modified. Some modified cars fetch more, some fetch less.
