Been looking for ages, well over a year for a good example, been pipped at the post on many other WR1's over the year. Well sought after model!
Was also looking at WRX STI PPP as my second choice, but just couldnt find the right one, again being pipped at the post on the good low mileage examples.

Well, well what a small world, yes the car was advertised on the Thursday night, i was straight there Friday morning :shock:The car is in showroom condition with full history recent full service, brand new brembo discs and pads, just buy and drive, the interior and exterior unmarked. The best car i have ever purchased from a dealer, will be using them again for my next car, only if i sell the 1 :wink:

Yes i looked at a few low mileage examples but was pipped at the post. I was starting to loose heart and was having a look at the STI PPP modles as a second option.

Have a look on ebay a couple on there at the mo... one with 46000 miles
and another both located in Scotland i believe? Also one in Bristol i was going to have a look at that one before the one i purchased came up for sale.

All i can say is just keep looking, the right one will manifest eventually :?:

Where are you from?

The rs was running 285bhp, a fast fwd car!

Decided it was too fast for fwd so i went 4wd.

I had a v2 sti with low ratio box running 330 bhp.

It was evil!

I would sell you old car private, you will get a better deal than p/x. Yes a good days drive but it will be worth it for the right car :wink:
