Question

I'm about to buy a wrx sti6 from a garage but he's shown me the log book and the car is actualy registered as a gl.
I asked the salesman about this and he said it is a common thing with imports, when they are registered they are sometimes registered wrong. He also said it is possible to contact the DVLA and re register it as the sti . What do people think??

Just check the model code, under bonnet on right hand side, with this code you can look up exactly what model and year it is.
I don't have the list handy but put a post up in the main forum and you will get some help.

Good luck

when i bought my scooby, the logbook said impreza GL, but i winged at the dealer and they sent it off to the DVLA and got it changed to Impreza WRX.

They can be made to say the right thing
