Following my post literally below saying I'd like to come back Subaru ownership.
Today I put a deposit down on a newly imported 2003 WRX STI V limited 555.
It's in immaculate condition and I cannot wait to pick it up!
Looks nice, hope it’s been under sealed properly. Just out of curiosity, when you say newly imported what do you mean by that? It is showing as first being registered in the UK on 01/12/2019 from what I see. I could be wrong but don’t think so. has it been mapped for UK fuel etc? I know you are not new to these cars but sometimes people forget. Either way lovely clean looking example, congrats.

Thank you, oh I'm not sure, I don't believe it's been driven in UK roads, the listing from them said fresh imported!
Thank you for reminding me, that was another question I was meant to ask about the mapping for fuel!
This link should* take you to it. If not just input the reg. scroll down and it will tell you when first registered in the UK (this is where I got the date from). Also shows what I assume to be it’s first MOT on 17/11/19 prior to first registration. So it’s been in the UK nearly 7 months going off these two dates. Not suggesting anything immoral is going on but if you are being told it’s newly imported I’d want some sort of clarification on what that means. Do you know the current mileage on it? The same site tells you the mileage on first registration/MOT. It was then 92463km. Again I could be reading the data incorrectly but I don’t think I am. Must stress I only mention it as not all garages are totally honest.

I appreciate the comments, the mileage is very similar. They are a very well known import company with s great rep. The as said fresh import so I guess I just assumed very fresh!
It is a very clean looking car in the advert, it is a good price as well given its condition and mileage. Also it is a limited with some nice parts on it. Definitely looks like it needs under sealing but it is good to see it before it is done. You are correct they appear to be a reputable importer/garage. I can also see why you would think it is a fresh import, the advert does read that way. Do you have any plans to mod it or are you just going to enjoy it as is?
Do you know which turbo is on it? JDMs of that year come with VF37, the RAs etc of that year come with the VF36. As a limited did it get the VF36 as well? VF36 is the better if the 2 but max BHP from both is around the same @ 360BHP. I looked at one of these cars a few years back, visually they are not to different to the JDM of the same year but they do look better IMHO. Really nice example. Just coming into the better weather as well. Great time to be jumping back behind the wheel.
Back in the Subaru world
