Default PCM TOP GUY

finally 15 months after having my 2005 sti ppp wrote off in a acciddent (NOT my fault) i have put a deposit down on a my05 spec c from PCM its been to long and i always said to my self if i get another scooby i would go down the jdm route i have noticed its been a hot topic on sn over the last couple off months were to buy from what car jdm sti or spec c or spec c wr limited or spec c ra with regards to wich model ultimately i personaly think has to be a dission made by your self and a lot of searching on sn helps to push u in the right direction.

but my major worry for me was paying for a car that u only see in a picture when buying from an importers and all the other stuff like whats an auction sheet what does gradeing of car mean what documents do u get and so on . this is were the great service from pcm comes in to it. so i made the trip up to pcm in manchester on saturday to have a chat with immey and try and get all my quaestions answered and he did. i had prob chewed his ear off by the time i left . but the main thing was i left really wanting to put my bussines pcm way and really that all that matters in my eyes
so eny one thinking off going the jdm route i really would give pcm a call.

Immey is getting me some info on both the JDM and the Spec C. Would love a Spec C but not sure if the budget will stretch that far. Never the less, just waiting to hear from him sometime this week.

Well if your EVO is running a genuine 400 and not pub 400 then it might struggle but having driven 'Immy's' own Spec C i can confirm its awesome.

Loads of low down grunt and just simply takes off at 2000rpm and just rockets towards the redline, if your Evo suffers any lag - your history mate

handling and stopping is just simply out of this world - if i could afford one i'd buy one tommorrow.

Well, I've already bought a car from PCM & it's sitting on my drive!! I'll second the thoughts of RCWhite above - PCM's a great guy, he sells awesome cars & he finds time to be really helpful. Can't ask for any more ...

I have just had a call off Immy to say that he may of found me a car. Sent me some pics of a smart black 04 JDM STI with 13K on the clock. 18" wheels & a few more extras. Looking at around £15K for the JDM. Need to sell my MY00 classic first before I jump into buying something else.

Marin you will find not as great a differance as you think most of the specialised insurance companys know about imports/models and give very competative quotes off the top of my head I think my insurance is about £20 more on my spec-c than what was on my old modified bugeye and the import in my mind is a far superior car.Just do a search on this forum you will find plenty of insurance companies who will help you out.
