Default Import STI or Type-UK

Hello all,

Just a quick query. I'm looking at an 03 blobeye STI JDM and on the insurance quotes page it gives the option of the car being either a WRX STI Import or an STI Type-UK Import. Am I right in thinking it can't be a Type-Uk as it has been imported(Imported in 2007)?.

Thanks in advance.

You should have the option to change it, It should be Japanese Import

It's currently on private plates which don't show up on the Insurance database. Just wondered if it was classed as a Type-Uk or just WRX STI.

Yeah that's what I thought but just wanted to be sure. Bit cheaper if it's classed as WRX STI aswell

Not meaning to be rude, but that is poor advice to give, many cars (imports and UK cars) are registered incorrectly so using the registration number commonly bring up the wrong vehicle or variant.

Yeah I've noticed that when I've put other reg plate numbers in, it comes up with some random car.

I haven't tried an insurance quote with yourselves yet. Can I get a quote with you online?

Yeah you are right. I should have realized that imports are sometimes wrong. Would it be wrong for a UK car though?

It should be under wrx sti import but once you have that quote its always best to call to ensure its correct for that car.
