Smile Model report for forrester STi

Hi

anyone imported a 2.5 sti forrester?
i was in Japan recently where I got very tempted by an 05 model with 10,000kms,but had to let it go due to not being able to get any info on model reports for this car.

Anyone imported one pesonally? (not through Litchfield etc)

Also what is the value of these models in the uk?
i cant seem to find them for sale privately to get a proper idea

thanks in advance

If Iain Litchfield is selling them then he has probably comissioned his own comparison tests. Id be surprised if he wont rent the report out.

Id disagree about modelreports.com..... You should be able to rely on the MoT to reliably list all of the Model Reports that are currently availableto hire. You cant though: their website is ****e and Im aware of a (great) number of Model Reports that are available for rent that arent listed, some from Iain Lithcfield amongst many others.
