Yes i see what your saying, thats in USA, where the supply is low and demand will be high. I can see them importing alot from Japan not so much front the UK as cars over here won't be as mint due to rust. No saying prices can't and won't go up, just at the moment you can still pick up reasonable imports for cheap. I had a thread up here not long ago, so many dealers just buying a reselling, some were even using the same pictures :lol1:

Japanese classics over in New York have a black 93 wrx up for 15000 used as there able to get them now under the 25 year rule all I was saying was for good standard original cars if you can find them watch this space . |
This is the newest import wrx I can find these are the prices to expect the car dealers can see what's coming hopefully the link will work https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1064475 |
Give it another year or so and I think things will change it happened to the r32/33 gtr as soon as the yanks started to import them . |

Because your suggesting that the prices are flying up for imports. Some yes, STI models type r models are going up. WRX models aren't really going up that much at all. I can pick up a reasonable one for under 2k.

No as I'm on the look out for one myself. The question was raised that you couldn't get a reasonable import for cheap.
I could throw up links all day long of them going cheap. There reasonable, not perfect. Where you think the dealers are getting them from. If your taking about mint ones then yes there not cheap at all.

There's a few on ebay at the moment that even I think aren't entirely unreasonably priced and yet they're not shifting and have been on quite a few weeks now. |
Just to further illustrate my point about asking prices v sold prices (although I won't ID the particular car or individual)
A member on here put their car up for £17k a couple of months back, they've since deleted the scoobynet classified ad but it's currently still sat on ebay unsold with a fixed price of £11k. |
Glad someone else is on the same page. Been watching Impreza prices for years. I bought my classic wrx over 10 years ago now. Think it cost just over £2000 and there worth around that now in same nick.

Depends what your classing as tidy? For £2000 it wouldn't be mint. But respectable.

Jaygsi, I think you're pretty much on the money fwiw.
Yes, super clean examples might fetch (or is it ask?) good money, but for a run of the mill car, with its cosmetic issues etc etc, I definitely am not seeing massive rises (see actual sold prices on eBay for examole.). Then again, if they were say 2k for a runner, and someone manages to sell it for 2500, that's a 25% increase, but it's also only 500 pounds. With our cars as cheap as they are, they kind of look like penny-shares :) Recession is coming, and that's not going to help values either. |

In Portugal where I live, you cannot buy a STI (2001-2005) in good condition for less than 30 000 pounds, so yes prices are on the rise. Consider yourself lucky for having these amazing cars for ~10 000 pounds.

Here are some for 10k and up, for example.

Only of it was that easy... Do you know how much it costs to import and registrate a STI with portuguese plates? 20 000 pounds!! This country is poor but still full of thieves, you cannot believe the amount of taxes we have in here, it is unbelieavable and in everything you earn, buy and sell. For your reference a brand new Golf R costs 52 000 pounds, but our minimum wage is 520 pounds.

Holy crap, I thought you were joking or exaggerating, but http://info-aduaneiro.portaldasfinan...aq-isv-06.aspx says you're not. That's totally insane!
