Hay,

Has any one had any dealings with these what is there customer services like? As I'm thinking of upgrading From My MY00 UK Classic to an MY07 Sti Hawkeye some time next year and they seem to have the best prices.

Whats Your Views?

Thanks Mike

If considering LI, why not consider PCM who posts on here too? His website is here:

Stocklist - Performance Centre Manchester

I am biased though as my car came from PCM

Default webmasters spec c

litchfields supplied me with a fantastic awsome spec c then for some stupid reason i sold it back to litchfields who then sold it to the webmaster.

i would have no problem dealing with litchfields infact i would only recommend litchfields for imports and quality imprezzas.

Whilst I can not vouch for them in ultimate terms because I was forced to pull out of a new car, nothing seemed to be a problem for Iain and he was a constant source of help and information in getting to the right choice. Unfortunately, I will not know if that right choice was spot on.

His warranty seems to be unbeatable too.

My car was imported by them for previous owner, and they sold it to me as second owner on behalf of that previous owner. Superb service and, has been said, very friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended!

Can I ask a really daft question to all the import owners...

Are cars bought from import places (new) these days covered to the same extent as UK spec? And are they still covered if PPP is added?

Seriously considering an 07 WRX (of sorts) at the mo, and would love to know if the saving is worth it in the long run.

Nice one mate, thanks for the info
Cheers for taking the time to break it down like that.

Will have to give it some careful consideration me thinks.
Loving my '02 bugeye WRX, but just thinking for the months ahead, maybe its time to get something newer. Import is definatly on the option list, but will weigh up the pro's and con's. Certainly seem to be some happy people with imports here.

Mine came from litchfields mike.... was great to deal with and luckily mine was already in the country so just had to wait for SVA/registering before i picked it up.... he also did a great deal on the VW polo that was no longer needed so i had a car to run down there in and drop off...
