Anyone know what to look for in the purchase of these?
Pro's, Con's etc.

Been looking around a while and they seem to hold onto their price!

Good cars. Loved mine.

Nothing went wrong, although I did buy it new so i wouldn't expect anything to go wrong.

Can't speak for the ST-3 but I regularly drive my Dad's ST-2 and it feel incredibly tight and lovely to drive. Everything is spot on, gear change, throttle response & handling. The only thing I find is that although it has great low down torque, it lacks top end pull but a remap i'm sure could sort that.

Nice. Any wonder it went through driveshafts with 320 bhp
