I really can't find a stock sti around that price.. Most
Of the "stock" ones are overpriced from a dealer.. Plus I plan on bringing it back to stock and getting rid of the aftermarket parts including the rims

well if that really is your plan, then just go for it.i honestly wouldnt wanna deal with any problems that can occur with the build though, not saying its a bad build or anything, just the fact that you wasnt the one that invested in all the parts so id just make sure you know EVERY single mod that was done to the vehicle. and id be willing to trade you wheels. =]

also if the dealer stis are overpriced, why not just see shaggy and get a brand new sti off the lot.

Yeah, IIRC there was an older ad that said the car had engine problems and or was a salvaged titled car, not sure though.

What about this 07?
