Just bought my Version 5 Type R from Miguel at NewEra Imports.

Its the third car I have had (MR2 Turbo, FTO GPX) and again is absolutely fantastic.

I know of over 20 others that have bought through Miguel and been happy, including close friends with EVO 6, R33 Skyline, GT4, FTO, Pulsar GTI-R.
Very honest and accurate supplier. If you want mint, you get mint.........If you want cheap, you get cheap.

Miguel has over 5 years experience of living and buying in Japan.
Very Highly recommended...........

Iain can indeed find a specific car for you.

Give him details of what you are after and he will find it, simple as that!

5 Type R: Did your car come with any history ? Did new era supply documentation to prove the car isnt stolen ?

Not White but look in the Virtual Showroom of this local dealer. You could possibly get an importer to take it in for you, or do it yourself.

www.expatmotors.com

www.carcity.com.hk Follow "Used Cars / Subaru"

For conversion, currently take the HK$ price and divide by 11.5. These have been on sale for a while so you could get a bit cheaper. I have a 4dr the same colour as both these but so far not even a sniff of a sale.


Edited to say: Just noticed it is actually the same car for sale at two different places.

Most cars come from Graded Auctions, which are very different from UK auctions.

Cars are graded and therefore you can pretty much gaurantee what you are getting. If you want a Grade 5 (Mint Example) or a Grade A (Accident Repair) thats what you get.

I didn't get a service history with the STI although did with the MR2 and FTO.

Just depends on luck really. The STI was so obviously a low milegae car I wasn't bothered.

All jap imported cars go through Interpol now prior to UK registration to guarantee authenticity.

Put it this way , I imagine that the only way you will get a stolen car is if the supplier already knew it was stolen.

Simply not an issue with Miguel.

Highly recommend newera imports. Miguel is a to guy. Bought the STI 6 Type r V-Ltd from them. I whent to see the car and its exactly as he described it. Try them out, you cant go wrong. Many traders buy cars from Miguel as he is based in Japan so you will probably get a good deal.
