Ive got one 
, its forsale also.
There good to drive in my opinion, make shore the super strut suspension is looked after and the lower arms and fig's are done.
Powerwise 350-370 on the stock internals with some mods and more than that will need forging idealy.
Good brakes and handling though as standard.
Any other questions let me know.
Oh and a cheap one will be cheap for a reason, dont think its a bargin.

What shape??
I've had 2 of the ST205 models... one I actually owned twice.
The engines are really reliable if looked after... 300bhp is the limit without changing turbos, aftermarket ecu, etc etc. To get to the 300bhp area, the car needs a de-cat exhaust, filter and a boost controller set to 1.15-1.2bar peak.
Expensive things to consider are cambelt needing changed, brakes are BIG as standard so check they're in good nick, clutches are known to go once up around 300bhp and used properly... and the big one is the lower arms and mounts, known as the Figure 8 links, you wont get much change from 500 note for the parts alone.
Cheers,
Grant

Weigh friggin loads and aren't really that fast! Owned a ST205 WRC and sold it to a mate, raced him in my new ek9 and beat him on a straight road. I wouldn't get excited about one ever again.
