Yea, its priced reasonably well considering its described as a very good condition Version 6 STi Type R that has been mapped up etc..

Following on from that - seeing as its cost your mate £600 quid to view it, would he not have been better to point out the obvious flaws and come to a better arrangement for price?
If the car was mechanically sound with the right sort of history then a few dinks and dents wouldn't stop me buying a car- in fact I would be happier that I'd got some money in my back pocket and able to use the car as intended and not shit myself everytime I parked it.
Not trying to cause trouble, just looking at it from a different perspective.

J, we weren't expecting a mint car.. it IS 11 years old with a reasonable mileage under its belt.... however, being a 'specialist' car that had been described as being very good condition we were expecting something that didn't look tatty. Which this car did.
I also see your point about trying to knock down the price a little to compensate for the extra marks.. but there were just SO many extra marks, dents, bodywork issues that it would have required massive movement on the price to have even considered it...... plus, after seeing the car which he had mis-described, any trust and confidence that the car was straight had vanished.
Mechanically, the car wasn't in order either. The diff was knocking (prob a diff mount, not end of world) the rear brakes were sticking and the rear shocks seemed to be knocking too?

Yea, however better to sack off £600 than get wired into someone elses problems to the tune of £6k.
