Depends where your buying it from really.
Does it have mega miles (hopefully not), but if your buying one that seems cheap, look for accident damage, especially front end, too much wax can be a givaway here, check that all the panels are lined up properly, the car should also come with Bridgestone RE070's on 235/45/17, if its got anything different on, and its low miles, question it.
Some will be remapped for uk fuel, depending where you get it from, if in doubt run the car as if its still mapped for 100 ron, ie optimax and octane booster, i can say that just running one of these on optimax will have a detrimental effect on the engine

I would have a look here before considering the above >> http://www.litimports.co.uk/stocklist.asp
Look at the MY05 blue jdm sti, it has the alarm etc, uk fuel map, 23495, its going to cost you that to add all the other bits to the one your looking at, plus Iain Litchfield has quite a following here, very highly rated
