Just would like to know if this is a fair price for an 08/08 5 door WRX STI Type UK with 6500 miles on clock and with 18" Prodrive Alloys.The price is £21,995.And is there anything to look out for when buying?

Regards
Phil.

That price sounds fairly goodsmile. The hatchback STI is still a bit new to say whether there are any specific problems with them. Just look for the usual suspects when buying a scooby. Make sure it doesn't look like it's been crashed, check the suspension doesn't knock and bang and do all the usual engine checks. The early production Jap spec models (2 litre twin scroll engine) used a really bad Argentine front diff which had a habit of breaking very easily. Suabru don't use them any more so it shouldn't be an issue with the latest models.cool
