+1 to 2013 considering the BC (good) coilovers, wheels and good tyres. Exhaust could be a positive or negative.
Might have some more unlisted mods like swaybars considering the bigger mods.
Keep in mind it'll keep nosediving in value the next few years. Won't comment on the price, not something I'm familiar in
Maybe narrow your price range?

Sensible mods and part upgrades are fine and can be done to any car but you have to live with the cars paint - let that be the deciding factor.

That is fine but make sure the finance is paid off if you purchase the car.

I'd narrow it down to the 2013 and 2011 ones.
2013 - newest one of the bunch and has substantial warranty left on it, only cons are having to wash every 2 days (because white) and some aftermarket parts (intake, exhaust) may not fit. Can tuners confirm that the ECU can be customised?
2011 - cheaper, nice colour (I am biased!
), no problems with aftermarket parts, but will run out of warranty soon if it hasn't yet.
Also make sure to ask for proof that the SST fluid has been changed around the 50K mark, besides the regular service of course.

I would have killed for a white VRX, black is worse for keeping clean. Wish I has more choice when I got mine.
But I agree go with the color you want, as long as it has a good service history warranty shouldn't be an issue and some dealers offer good extended warranties if you want to pay for it.
