Default Advise on purchasing

Basically I've seen this car that seems like quite a genuine car that looks good. Problem is I'm in Essex and the car is in Northern Ireland. How would people approach this as a possible purchase. They offer free uk delivery and 6 month warranty. Any advise would be appreciated!

He's advertised it as a Type UK but the ad says it's a fresh import from Japan? (The car is an import, just seems a bit weird). The ad also says it's 'totally standard never messed with'.....even though it has defis, an aftermarket stereo and a front lip. Also a tad over-priced IMO.

Not worth the trip from Essex to Ireland when there are better examples for sale a lot closer to home.

Just my 10p worth lol

I noticed the type uk bit and thought its definitely a import. I thought the sti genome gauges and front splitter were factory options? You're right though Peedee, it is a long way to go! I'm finding it impossible to find a nice jdm that's standard or mildly modified anywhere near Essex! I thought £10k for a low mileage jdm widetrack was cheap?

Could always have a word with Matty at MB developments or Darrens204 I think it is on here about them importing a fresh one for you?

If I remember right there are no import options when entering autotrader car models. Been a while since I used it though.
