Folks, I am thinking of buying a WRX STI from JAPANESE VEHICLE SOURCING UK based in Edinburgh. Has anyone had any dealings with them? Are they any good? Do they offer a cost effective service?
Or
Does any one know any other Japanese Car Importers that offer a good service that isn’t too expensive?

Cheers.

MacKay trading in Edinburgh ? Never used them, but stock seems ok.

There is also Indy car sales up by Rothienorman. Can't say if they are good or bad as I have never personally dealt with them and don't know anybody who has.

Calder Motor Company have a large range of stock.

http://www.caldermotor.co.uk/information.html

The website isn't updated much with their current stock, better to phone and see what they have. I know they took delivery of 20+ Impreza's a couple of weeks ago, most of which were STI's.

Never bought from them though......

I bought my WRX STI from Indy Car Sales in Rothienorman. They had a good stock and the price was reasonable. Have a trip there, it might be worth it.

Bought my 94 Sti from Calder Motors, no problems, friendly service etc...

Wouldn't recommend Mackay's, when I went there was treated like sh*t! The salesman was way up his own a$$ and a bit of a creep (IMHO)...

Agreed. The Mackays guy wouldn't even value my trade in. He just looked at me with a "you can't afford it sonny" look.....

....so I went to Nobles and spent 2k more than the car at Makays was advertised for.

I gave him the financial finger

I used Indy Car Sales as well. Got a damn good motor, a little more expensive than Central Scotland prices but you only get what you pay for.....
