I am thinking of changing my car for a Subaru Impreza, i have been reading up about them, mostly on the internet, and i think that the one i want would have to be at least an Impreza Turbo, mainly because of the bigger BHP, i dont know anything really about imports, only that people say that insurance companies dont like them because they think that parts etc are costlier than UK ones, so thats why the premiums are higher for imports.
I currently own a Ford Puma and would be looking to part exchange that as well.
Hope you can give me some advice and help or even suggest a few places to look in the North West.

Thanks for that, already had a look at their site, do you know if they only deal with imports.

 

99% of the cars that Townend sell are imports. Thats because most of them get built into competition cars. Depending on how much you want to spend you could have a snoop round Warrenders in Bolton or speak to Gibsons of Brock (European model import specialist).

 

Can anybody tell me if the mileage on imports is in miles or kilometres.

 

its in K not miles (most imports seem to be generally lower miles than UK ones)

 

Mmmmm i wonder why??

 

local dealer at rochdale so so but try listers at worcester, ask for gramhn or richard (boss), lots of tasty, clean uk cars and they had my old p1 and gave me a good price and decnt service for me to travel the 300 mile round trip to collect my sti8.

Up the M6 Stan Palmers in Carlise are trying to shift some My02 WRX's with 262 BHP for silly money at the moment. One is green if you like that sort of thing the other is silver Morettes and Sti rear spoiler. Also STi 7's.

Phone and speak to Ian Armstrong.
