It seems difficulty to guage the true picture - many say the market's slumped and nothing moves, other's say there's no problem.
This JDM seems to have been around for rather a lobg while though, but as best as I can tell from posts, description, and conversations it seems AOK. I'll know tomorrow.
I guess in the end, as always, its down to price. I'm sharpening my bargaining stick right now :-)

Pointy stick definitely not needed - have a done a very amicable deal with Andy through Litchfields and I'm now the delighted owner of a JDM :-)
Thanks Andy - it's a fantastic car that you've looked after superbly!!!!
Just got to wait for it to be serviced and made ready before I collect it in a week or so.

JDM's are more desirable due to a few factors, tunability, reliability and sellability (plus they are a better car ) ducks now waiting incoming from uk sti owners

I test drove not only *my* JDM, but also a blue MY06 JDM STi (type 20? not sure) to try out the Milltek exhaust (fantastic noise - I want one!).
I do remember seeing an impreza with a roof vent in the show room but I really can't remember the colour let alone if it was a type C - and, tbh, not sure I'm confident enough to recognise a type C anyway.
Not much help ... sorry :-(

There's a white one right at the front of the showroom, but if it was a black one .... then it was (is) mine

I never make any decision that I know I'll regret in the future, so it was done with hindsight in mind
I see it as a temporary setback.
The flat is a priority and so I needed to compromise.
I can delay the type20 as I know I'll re-order one in the future as long as my business keeps going.
I'm buying it solo, so I want to have 6 months of mortgage repayments under my belt and pay my tax before I re-evaluate my funds before committing properly to getting the type20.
No point me buying it now and being forced to sell it 4 months down the line besause I'm short on money.
That is something I would regret

You'll also need to say hello to Len at Subaru4U in Newbury or John at Triton in Bournemouth for your car needs .... the site will give you details.
