[collaboration]

what's the common fault with v7 sti?

especially ones over 150k on clock

just curious on what to look for when buying them

That looks pretty tidy to me

+1. Only thing I can think of is clutch may need replacing soon after 150.

Yet again, could be fine if has been well looked after.

Something in the engine bay has leaked or something at some point, there's telltale splotches on the pulley cover. Also, watch out that it hasn't been lowered so much that the handling gets thrown off. It's generally accepted that the suspension arms invert on cornering once the suspension has been dropped more than 30-35mm.

Also, beware the Fast Fours and Turbos badge!

Idiots gaying them up like the TM car.

Save your dollars and wait for a less molested example.
