I got an 04 wrx for £11,995 5 months back so you should be able to get similar for your money. It had 14k on th clock.

Do a search on Uk or JDM, quite a few threads on this.

Get ready for all the 'get an older STI' responses.

Mine was from a dealer, just not a Subaru one. Saved about £3k doing it this way.

The car is in Yorkshire. As it's still in warranty and a UK supplied car you will still have full dealer support until Feb 2007 IIRC. Nothing much goes wrong with new-age Scoobs as long as they're serviced properly and driven with mechanical sympathy, which I can vouch for personally on Raf's car as he's a top guy and personal friend. A similar car at a franchised dealer would be at least £2k dearer, that's an expensive peaceful mind when the car above carries the same warranty from the same people.
