Default Importing A Legacy - Any Tips?

Hello all,

I am after replacing my ill fated Impreza and fancied a Japanese import Legacy GT or GTB. Can anyone recommend any quality importers or have any top tips or watch-outs?

Thanks,

8ulldog

Hi,

Tom from Braveauto.

I would be happy to give you any help or advice you may need to import from Japan and could source you any version Legacy you want.

We do have a couple of Legacy B4 RSK's just come into stock in Japan.

Full pics and a prices for these cars will be on the site in a few days.

If you prefer the estate version GT/GTB.. let me know what you are looking for; year, colour, mileage etc and I will get you some prices and examples for sale.

Cheers Tom

Very nice, but 2 problems there for me, it's an auto and its pre-facelift. I'm soo picky Tom you know me, hence I gave up!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for responding. Please forgive my naivity, though do you convert the speedometers to mph on import? Is there anything else I need to know about, eg I understand that there is no point having any type of media upgrades as they don't really work in the uk?

I am interested in a low mileage Legacy with a pretty high spec and top performance.

Thanks,

8ulldog
