I bought this the other day for £1000, it's got 6 months test and is generally tidy apart from needing a very good clean. The main thing is the shell seems sound.
Picture not brilliant as it was starting to get dark and admittedly it's the car's best side as there is a jack cover missing on the other side and a small patch on the door. Will post more up when i get it properly cleaned[img]

Don't know that much about it, lad I bought it off had it for 4 months but never put it on the road as he couldn't get insured. Think the engine is more or less standard.
The tailgate is damaged where someone tried to pull the spoiler off and it's actually split the metal, but there is some rust on the inside anyway so looking for a new one.
There are a few interior plastics that could do with replacing for better ones, and a chip out of the bottom of the front bumper which may fix.
I reckon for about £1300-1400 I will have a tidy evreyday car, not bothered about it being worth tons in the long term as i intend to use it for work anyway, been wanting to get back into an Rst for a long while, can't remember the last time i saw one round my area

Ah well when you buy an Rst they're more of a hobby than a car, but that's part of the appeal.
I know sod all about mechanics but with Rsts you can normally through following advice & guides etc work on them yourself
