basically im 18 yrs old and am currently driving a bmw 316i (m3 replica)iv'e been driving a yr and am now lookin at getting a impreza wrx (bit of a jump in terms of performance i kno)i wud hav an sti onli insurance costs 4k as it is a wrx is £2300 with a yrs no claims (if anybody knows anywhere that is possibly cheaper i wud b gratefull) only when it comes down to the mechanical side in buying 1 i dnt hav the first clue at what to look 4??and so could do with a bit of help from u experts in what to look out 4!
plus im after a wrx that looks slightly aftermarket ie.sti bodykit all round, p1 wheels p1 spoiler..that kind of look if u catch my drift but im not too sure if it is worth me buying 1 that is already like that,or buy a standard wrx and tweak it all myself (bearing in mind i hav no idea ) so could any1 give me sum tips

Welcome

When you say wrx are you referring to a newer car or a classic? the reason I ask is because if it's a classic you might find insurance cheaper on a uk car, if it's a bugeye/blobeye ignore me

Hi mate get a uk 2000 awd classic will be cheaper Insurance,
Most uk cars have more power than 215bhp standed so will feel quick.

You'd probably be better with a UK car for insurance then. UK cars are cheaper than imports but they do have less equipment and power but that's easily fixed.

DB07P1

yea im actually against getting an import anyways due to the fact of getting parts if something goes wrong iv been told its a nightmare so defo getting uk model

DB07P1

i mean not getting an import (oops can u tel im new)!

Getting parts for imports generally isn't a problem, it's just the insurance that might be better for you UK cars are mapped for UK fuel too which is a bonus.
