New scooby from car supermarkets
Had my MY04 WRX nicked a couple of weeks ago, doubt I'll ever see it again. Still waiting on the insurance cheque and have been looking at unreg'd WRXs at various car supermarkets. All seem to be EU imports - obvious things to look out for ( spec', colour, pan EU warranty ), downsides seem to be no free ( !! ) PPP upgrade, no breakdown cover, crap after sales service. Anybody think of any thing else before I part with the cash ?

Its a no brainer, PPP is fine if you want it, but many people dont including whoever you want to sell to in the future (what would you rather have, standard or one that had been running around churning out an extra 40 horses since new ?. The support from the Subaru service network is still forthcoming and if you find a decent garage they will not persecute you for buying from Europe.

Might save 4 grand now .... how much will you lose when you come to trade it in or sell it in the future??
Plus, I would have to disagree about the PPP .... I would actually look for a car with this fitted!
