Hasn't that been on the cards for a while now?

I remember hearing about that a while back, but as nothing had come of it I assumed it had all fallen through.

Smithy,

To make sure you get a good client base a few questions first.

1. Will IM let you deal with JDM/parallel imports?

2. Will you offer Forum Members discounts?

3. How many cars will IM supply/must you sell per year?

4. How about a Club Viewing on the new WRX STi when it arrives?

The reason I ask is that the current batch of independents have very good reputations, rolling roads, mapping etc. Jenkins Subaru in Cardiff shifted 4/5 cars at most when they had an IM franchise and the 2.5 engine is not doing Subaru any favours or their lack of interaction.

It will open the market up for those buying new or ignorant of the cheaper enthusiast garage who are not profit margin/sales driven.

I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Lee and welcome to the fold.
You should invite us down and show us around mate and meet your team.
Throw in some sandwiches, coffee and some Subaru freebies and you'll have friends for life
