Default My new blobeye JDM Sti

What do you think guys?

She's a MY03 JDM STi, 21,000 miles, FSSH. She seems to be in fantastic condition, deposit is paid and she just waiting to be picked up. The only problem is that she's 12,000 miles away in Auckland and I don't arrive over there until November. This is going to be a touch 11 weeks!!!!

Oh and she's costing me just under £12,000 from a main Subaru dealer including 2 years warranty, registration (tax), WOF (MOT) and a NZ Subaru rally jacket!!!!

All opinions welcome!

Nice. Does that price include the cost to ship the car home? I remember when I lived in Australia I was thinking of taking my WRX from there home to Ireland and it was costing about £1k.

Just think of all the money you'll save on petrol in that 11 weeks and the wait won't be so bad.

Thanks for the replies guys. yeah, just to confirm, my wife and I are immigrating to Auckland, New Zealand and arrive there on 27th November. We have paid a deposit to secure the car which will be stored by the Subaru dealer until our arrival. He's even offered to pick us up from the airport in it!

Talk about an interesting day....arrive in our new home, pick up he car and get the keys to our new house (well rented house!) We can' wait.

Yep, the price we've agreed on comes to £11,700 so to say I'm more than a little happy would be a bit of an understatement! The best bit is that I had a budget of £13,000 so that leaves me a little cash to play with. Now I might chnage the wheels but the first thing I would like to do is tweak it ever so slightly and get a wee bit more power. Any ideas what would be the best way to go?

Oh and petrol is half the price over there!!!!
