ive been to see a 10 plate 2l sti import today thats just arrived in the uk. its a spec c done about 60k miles and looks great.
are these actually any good as its a lot of money. would i be better off getting a cheaper jdm model , blob eye .
thanks

Love my Spec c, done 40 000 odd miles in it, even more awesome if you can get one with STI optional suspension additions and Recaros.

Just check the most important document with any 'freshly imported' JDM - The Japanese Auction sheet, which the seller should have, no reason at all why shouldn't unless they've hidden it. Check the car gradings, I used to buy only grade 4 and above for exterior condition back in the days when I owned STi's. I owned 7 different ones from 2002 to 2010, three were JDM's. If you've never had a JDM but have had a Type UK, you will absolutely love the JDM in a big way, I believe. The Spec C is great, more hardcore, ball bearing turbo, but in real world daily driving, you won't notice any difference between a Spec C and STi JDM 👍

Im buying it off a friend who owns an import company.
it's a grade 4b. 1 owner with history.
still had years shaken left too.
