haha jag you egg geez 14k is abit much, can get close to a Version 8 with that price, just saying

[scooby-wrx]

Nice car, its worth 14k. There's no way you can buy a Type R and modify it to that extent with the change (from 14k). Not many coupe's around in this condition.

I say buy it.

If not, I'd consider selling you mine for that sort of $... haha...

has your car really been on trade me since 2012?

[scooby-wrx]

Haha... It has, wasn't prepared to reduce the price but would like to move onto the type R now.

1. Check to see if seller has receipts for rebuild & engine components.

2. Its worth around 11-12k if the mods are legit.

3. There's nothing special about a type r apart from being a coupe.

Really? What about DCCD and short ratio gear box and a r180 plated rear diff and larger rear brake disks and calipers and intercooler water spray.

Yes really. I'll rephrase it to avoid flamage, there is negligible difference between the coupe and sedan equivalent.

Fark I get impatient after 2 WEEKS haha

To OP - I'd say it's worth it, he does say 14k ONO so you have some wiggle room there. You could get any number of other cars for the money but that's always going to be an issue with anything you get

With people asking close to that for them bone stock, if you're planning on modifying one yourself why not get one with all the hard work done already, worst case if some parts aren't right you can flick them off (wheels, bonnet etc maybe?) and still be on top compared to DIY'ing it

Buying anything that modified is always going to be a bit of a gamble, but then so is buying a bone stock suby these days so flip that coin I reckon

Unless you mean the RA, the differences are all things I just mentioned.

Yep, a bone stock suby could have been crashed or returned back to stock... you would never know.

With both of those classics they look like they have been well looked after and thats what I'm after.

As i had a V2 classic STI back in the UK and owned it for 10yrs and like those no expense was ever spared.

Also i have an itch that I'm needing to scratch……

Thanks for all the info chaps…..:)
