Hi dont want to start anything with this post as im sure its all being said already, i have a type uk sti 7 which i had mapped at power engineering at 325bhp love the car but time to go, i know nothing about jap or euro imports, but a euro import has come up near me which looks like the car to buy its as new 3 mth old 2k miles in black, the folk who bought it got it all on finance and cant afford it ! it looks like i could own it for around 16k i think thats a great deal ? Would be grateful for any imput or a link re euro imports prices, pros and cons Cheers Rob

 

What model are you talking about? Brand spanking EU imort can be had for £15k +otr costs, STI for about £18k.

 

HI its an sti with the wider rear beam, diffrent pcd wheels etc thanks Rob

 

I've had a new UK Impreza and now an import for the last two years. As long as you have all the paperwork for the car then consider the price as you would for a UK one. Check it's full UK spec, has 3-years warrenty, registered new in this country, registered with Subaru UK, serviced as per book, etc.

Insurance is all the same for an EU car as a UK car because it's the same.

Price should be whatever you're happy to pay once you've researched what other similar cars are going for.

Good luck.
