I'm seeing it tomorrow morning!

 

good man - i use my 04 jdm sti as an every day car and its great- once i have the suspension fitted on tuesday it will be a complete T20 - buy the car - you will love it

 

Also looking at MattW's MY05 STi Type UK with PPP tomorrow - it will be a "head and heart" choice I suspect: the head says UK model with remaining warranty and easier resale, heart will - I have no doubt - want the JDM!!!

It will be an exciting day, methinks.

 

tbh its seems like its easier to sell a jdm than a uk spec at the mo, they are certainly holding value better

 

It seems difficulty to guage the true picture - many say the market's slumped and nothing moves, other's say there's no problem.

This JDM seems to have been around for rather a lobg while though, but as best as I can tell from posts, description, and conversations it seems AOK. I'll know tomorrow.

I guess in the end, as always, its down to price. I'm sharpening my bargaining stick right now :-)

 

Pointy stick definitely not needed - have a done a very amicable deal with Andy through Litchfields and I'm now the delighted owner of a JDM :-)

Thanks Andy - it's a fantastic car that you've looked after superbly!!!!

Just got to wait for it to be serviced and made ready before I collect it in a week or so.

 

You wont regret that one bit!

Andy's right?

 

Yes - it's Andy's I've bought: sorry if it wasn't clear!

 

good man

 

Blimey, if that first offer of yours wasn't 'pointy' then I'd hate to know what is!! Still, glad you like the car and I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Best wishes
Andy

 

JDM's are more desirable due to a few factors, tunability, reliability and sellability (plus they are a better car ) ducks now waiting incoming from uk sti owners

Well done dude

I have a question - when you were there, did you se a brand spankin' new black Spec-C that was recently imported?

 

Given that you're sorta local, I suppose we can expect to see you on the Hampshiresubaru site and at the meets then !!

Enjoy !

 

Don't see why not! I don't know about the group, but tell me more. I work in Andover so the Hampshire bit works, and Dorset is just down the road.

 

Not sure TBH. There was a car on the lift with the engine out being upgraded to a type 25 - had a good look at the engine block and beautifully machined cosworth heads - a real work of art!

I test drove not only *my* JDM, but also a blue MY06 JDM STi (type 20? not sure) to try out the Milltek exhaust (fantastic noise - I want one!).

I do remember seeing an impreza with a roof vent in the show room but I really can't remember the colour let alone if it was a type C - and, tbh, not sure I'm confident enough to recognise a type C anyway.

Not much help ... sorry :-(

 

The Spec-C has a roof vent
There's a white one right at the front of the showroom, but if it was a black one .... then it was (is) mine

Just read your post - understand the concern over the flat purchase, but as someone I'm sure older (but probably not wiser ;-) than you - it is not what you *do* in life that you regret, it is what you *don't* do....AKA BUY THE CAR or you'll regret it!!!!

{Don't pay any attention to me by the way, it's too late in the evening to be offering advice}

 

Cheers Tim, but I don't regret it
I never make any decision that I know I'll regret in the future, so it was done with hindsight in mind

I see it as a temporary setback.

The flat is a priority and so I needed to compromise.
I can delay the type20 as I know I'll re-order one in the future as long as my business keeps going.

I'm buying it solo, so I want to have 6 months of mortgage repayments under my belt and pay my tax before I re-evaluate my funds before committing properly to getting the type20.

No point me buying it now and being forced to sell it 4 months down the line besause I'm short on money.
That is something I would regret
