Default Prospective Scooby Buyer - advice sought.

I am looking to buy a WRX later this year and have started looking to learn more about the pros and cons of doing so. I have been to a local dealer and test driven a new WRX for which they want £20k. Having looked around a little I have seen an ad for the Motorpoint car supermarket who claim to be able to provide a brand new delivery mileage WRX for £16.6k. Interested to hear people's views as to get the best deal on a new WRX.

Motorpoint are Malta imports

No alarm.

1 year warranty (second hand car warranty) – not Subaru so may have restrictions to what is covered.

Subaru dealers will not touch them if anything goes wrong

But on the positive side you will save a couple of grand.

You may lose more when you come to sell it!!!

Thanks for that - as a result of my boundless incompetence at sending this, my first ever posting, I managed to post two separate queries, both of which have brought about the same sort of responses - buyer beware i guess !

I just bought brand new WRX for 18.3k, proper Uk car and subaru dealer.
Admittedly they had pre-registered to meet end of year targets but thats the sort of price to aim at!
