I ordered a MY03 WRX from Belgium in October, hopefully being delivered in March.
Having been hoovering up as much information as possible, I would like to know your views on UK pricing when the MY03 is available. for both WRX and STI versions.
Auto Express's recent road test in a JDM STI stated the STI would be around £30k, and a few posts on this site have stated the wrx would be £20k to compete on price with the Focus RS.
The Euro importers have stated there will not be a price change for people who have placed there orders before the official prices are released. (upwards or downwards) they are expecting a small rise in price. But that is mainland Europe prices anybody know anymore about UK pricing.
ie. if the Uk price is 20k why bother importing a car for £16.5 and then fit the alarm and the extra hassle.

I don't think the UK price of a MY03 is going to be 20k. It is more than likely going to remain around 21.5k IMHO. Still great value and loads better than the Ford!

Alarm = 500 quid for a damned good one.
So that's 3 grand in your pocket "for the extra hassle", which consists of filling out one (yes one) form which is 2 pages and takes a good 3 minutes.
