Good luck with the search, from my recent search (owned mine 4 months now), anything under 8k and you could be looking at things like partial service history, needing work (such as wheels refurbed, brakes etc, up coming service,MOT due soon), higher mileage - but you could get lucky.
I think the advert can say a lot about a car, and how the current owner has looked after it, if the advert is comprehensive then it "usually" appeals to me as it says that person has looked after it.
That advert in my opinion, wouldn't make me want to go and see it - doesn't really mention if it has any of the limited edition parts (tax disc holder, mats, key-ring etc) - looking at the pictures the drivers mat is the WR1 one but the passenger isn't (can't buy replacement new any more). I think it depends how picky you want to be too. No mention in the advert which number the car is, no mention of what the service history is, when the cambelt was done, and why would you change the colour on the wheels of a limited edition car? (personal taste) I can't see from the pictures clearly but it doesn't seem to have the original tax disc holder. If the majority of the limited edition bits aren't there it may as well just be a normal STi -so its not worth the premium above one.
All just my opinion.
Lunacy is a right foot away.
