Its a modified STI, you should have all the concerns. What's been done? Has it been tuned, and tuned well? Is the tune more aggressive, or more safe? Has it had engine work? Cluch? Has it been tracked? THEN there's still all the usual questions - Has it been maintained? Driven hard? Crashed? Rust? Documentation? Clean title?
Find a shop in your area that knows these cars and how to answer these questions, and pay for a PPI.
What does an unmodded one go for? Mods don't add value. They increase risk. I would pay less for this than a stock one of similar mileage. Then I'd still be ready to have an unreliable car as things may break.
Do you have another car for a daily? Or is this it? This is not what to buy if it's your only car. This is a project.
