As per title, they have a nice black JDM STI in stock that I'm very interested in, but I get the impression reading on here there's a few dealers to avoid. Hence, I was curios if anyone has had any experience with them.

Here's a link to the car and the dealer in question.

How so, just not that tidy or clean?

I had a chat with them on the phone, and they seemed genuine but that doesn't count for much nowadays I guess.

I was planning on cash, as I didn't want to go the finance route. Such a shame, pretty much every JDM impreza for sale is through a dealer.

What's hp?

Cheers, wasn't familiar with the abbreviation. As above though, I don't want to go down the route of financing the car, although I can see the benefit from a warranty point of view.

No ones come back with any worrying horror stories. So, I'm going to try and get up one day next week for a look. If I get there and the owners seem a bit off I'll leave it though, as I don't want a car that's going to cause me major concerns above the normal Impreza maintenance to be expected.

Did you make a purchase.

I did make a purchase, but not this one. I was fully intent on going up to see it, then I noticed a UK widetrack come up for a good price. Here's a picture of the one i bought, and my WRX lurking in the back.

Unfortunately, I'm not using it just yet, as i need to sell the WRX, but once that's gone I'll start a project thread.

Great stuff, enjoy.
