if its for the ring then jdm be better as you already know just miles little high and may put next buyer off .
to sell on maybe the uk car more profit margin for when sell on ,lower miles and does look mint as do both to be fair.
uk car just easy to sell on due to insurance cost,long as clutch been done, cambelt,regular oil changes and no leaks knocks should be sound, just check the syncro between 4th-5th .

uk car got nice suspension set up so be good for the ring also defo uk car

Got to be the uk car fud, 9k is too much IMO especially with 100k think about when you decide to sell it in 6 weeks time lol

Uk sti looks mint, it's cheaper, will hold it's value, will have more interest when you sell it as it's more appealing

Finally with the cash difference that you have saved drop the uk sti to litchfield get them to fit the ast set up as you had on you old 04 t25 so same running gear as the uk sti. which you by your own words did say produced your best ring time to date! You know it makes sense

Only 15k difference mileage wise. The JDM is 2 years newer and is a no brainer. DCCD wider track etc.......
That's not to say the 03 car is anything other than immaculate though
