I wouldn’t recommend Gibsons, my girlfriend had very poor service from them when they where still official Subaru dealers. Also according to their website you pay Gibsons for the vehicle, most people seem to think it’s a better idea to pay the supplying dealer directly.

I ordered a MY02 WRX through http://www.keyring-cars.co.uk/ last year, I received it in January, the service from Keyring was very good.

Hi Greg
I shopped for prices before ordering my WRX, and did get a quote from Gibsons, but got best price, and excellent back-up from Keyring Cars.

Web-site: www.keyring-cars.co.uk
e-mail: info@keyring-cars.co.uk
Telephone: 01794 367052
Fax: 01794 367071

Car less than £17,000 after paying everything, including delivery, 12 months tax, VAT etc...
They even recommend currency brokers, fill in all registration paperwork, and keep you informed throughout the 4-5 month it takes to get the car.
Can highly recommend them - only charge £195 fee as well

I've had excellent service from them. I bought a WRX last September. Their price wasn't the cheapest, but they are a proper garage with service facilities and technical back up. Just like buying from a 'normal' dealer. Plus as the cars he sells have a three year Belgian warrenty, where better to get the warrenty work done than the place where you bought the car. He's not going to make it difficult for you as it's his business.
