Question

98S SUBARU IMPREZA TURBO WRX STi TYPE R COUPE Diamond White, Full WRX Sporting Trim, Air Conditioning, Adjustable Diffs, 15.000 Miles Alloys, 280 BHP Super Car. <B>This Car Is Not A Japanese Import</B> Bought New In Europe And Imported To The Uk By The Owner. £19.950

Can a dealer get away with wording an advert like this....surely the car is still a Japanese Import but it just went via Europe before getting to the Uk

Thumbs down

Probably not, it's got to be an import as IIRC no where in the EU can you buy one officially appart from Cyprus...which is a possibility...

But it sounds like a bargin! Where is it?

look at the piccie of the yellow elise - you can see the white WRX (I assume its the car) in the background - it has a 98MY front end - therefore a V4.

fwiw 16 - 17k is about right for a ver 4 type R - average mileage so this one is a bit too dear IMHO

cheers,
