a have a sti that a just broke.the red paint was flaking of but the car was looked after as older drivers so paint flaking means nothing.a would be suspicious if it was bright red as means someone had of to paint with a can of paint and they are powder coated.
take someone who nose these cars inside out as alot of fannyed up cars out there.before a bought mine a looked at one that some guy tryed to pass of as sti cause he painted manifold and that proved it was sti,luckly a no these cars so a walked away.he was a t**t who new nothing.so beware
