Question


Just wondering if anyone on here has been told that their cars are on the boat from Japan, as when I ordered the car at the end of January he said it would be here in a week or two. Now he is saying that the cars will not be here till the end of the month ?

I'd be happy with a CTR at the moment. In fact I'd be happy with any car.

The Terzo was sold last weekend and I'm having to use my push bike, until my STi turns up in March.

At least I'll get fit

That's the thing, it is WR Blue so there shouldn't be a problem sourcing them?

That would really pee me off Booman. If I were you I'd call other dealers..if anyone has it in stock you should give your guy one more chance to get yours immediately, otherwise take the order elsewhere. Seems to me you have been bumped down the list. Saying that this is my 5th Impreza and I may have been a bump-er rather than a bump-ee

Question


I know of a dealer just 50 miles away that has 3 WR Blue STi waiting to be bought. I have put down a £500 deposit so what should I do. Could they keep my £500 if I cancel?

as they have broken the verbal contract and not meet the delivery times you shouldnt have any problems getting your deposit back.

cant hurt giving it a go and it might also persuade them to get yours quicker.

How mean did the black one look somebody please tell me, I've got mine ordered but don't get it until the middle of April Getting the windows tinted and the Stainless back box fitted to it for when I collect it, after that I'll have to get those pink STi graphics replaced with some nice chrome ones instead. Maybe see about getting a set of 18" Comp MO's in Silver in the near future.

Sandycam, I'll get somebody to cut them for me from chrome vynil???, appologies for the spelling, AWD used to do graphics I think, I'll haver to ask Swany when I see him, if not it'll have to be Transcal, unfortunately I think the badge on the boot will be riveted in some way to the boot lid so I cant change that and I aint getting the boot filled and painted on a new car, the wife would kill me. :-)
