Default looking at peanut STI, help!

hello p.wrx, last night i went and looked at a blue peanut sti at subaru wangara, i quite like the car but noticed it did not have DCCD, isnt it supposed to have this if it is a STI?, the car is completely standard, anything i should look out for? clutch feels good, lots of meat on the pads, power delivery was smooth when it warmed up a bit (seemed to stutter when it was spooling whilst cold).

Thanks in advance,

Jake.

Hey Bud, can you post or pm the price you charge for inspections?

Would be great to have this service in the back of my mind when purchasing.

Would also offer a more assuring opinion then using someone like RAC, as you'd know specifically what to look for when talking Subies.

Cheers,
