Nice wheels.
There is loads to read but before you make up your mind go and drive both. All anyone on here can say is which one they prefer. that said it's JDM all the way. shop around insurance wise, different companies are better for different ages/postcodes/mods etc

You'll be able to get lower mileage, possibly cleaner, uk car for your budget. Jdm command a premium but worth shopping around. Looking at these cars above it seems that mine needs a heavy going over.

Be patient fella. I managed to pick up a MY05 STI with 78K miles on the clock, in mint condition for £6700. The 2005 model is a much better can then the 2004 version. It has; wider rear track, DCCD, longer wheelbase, improved geometry setup, revised suspension and a refreshed interior. Personally, I consider this model to be the best of the Newage.

I wouldn't think the mileage will be a problem if the service history is good and the car looks like it's been looked after, but the lower the better really.

There are people who are very pedantic about their cars. You'll know once you meet them and start talking about the car. With high performance cars, I think it's imperative that you buy from caring owners.
My car, according to the service book, should have had 6 services when I bought it in April this year. It actually had 13 services, all logged in the service book. The last owner only did 8,000 miles in the 4 years he owned the car. Just a weekend car for him it was.
Trust me and take your time to find a really well looked after example.
