Ive always found JDMs somewhat of an insurace nightmare having constant rows with insurance comanys about what the car is and comparison sites never have the car listed, I had the problem with my old 555.
The insurance tends to be alot more expensive too, although they are a stronger car!!
With our first baby immenent I want simples!! I will surf the net for a blobeye sti ppp 2005 2.0litre i think for a bit, im in no rush so have time to wait for a good one, ideally i want one with the rear roof spoiler to which are the really late ones.
Other than that I will search a few insurance companies for decent quotes on a jdm!!

High level spoiler started with the Hawk STI models.

Bang for your buck, taking into account age of model and reliability and imo, looks, I'd always come back to a JDM Hawkeye. True, they are like getting hold of rocking horse ****, compared to other models..... but worth it.
This is the 2nd JDM Newage I have owned (previously had a MY03 SPEC C for 5yrs), having owned this specific one for over 3yrs. Currently running 490/475 on the standard engine and the only problem experienced so far with the car has been a snapped droplink.
I couldn't ask for much more with a Subaru or performance car.
Awesome!

Keith Michaels (ie Gary) eventually (as in took a time to get hold of them/him but thoroughly recommended by the previous owner, and spot on too) came up with the best price for Ins.
It's YOUR money and it will be YOUR car.
Take it or leave it, I'd say (to them).

I love this bit of the description:
"There are no signs of damage, the only marks are a scratch on the passenger front wing, mark on the rear bumper, damaged passenger rear arch extension and a dent in the roof."
So, no signs of damage but:
* scratched FNS wing;
* marked rear bumper;
* damaged RNS wheel arch extension; AND
* a dented roof.

Having dinged bumpers and kerbed alloys on previous cars I understand... but how does one contrive to dent a roof?
Must have parked it under a conker tree or something
Nice car though, definitely asking too much for it...

Well my car's valued at £50k (by me) - but someone can have it for £20k
Btw this ad is even more imaginative that the other one.
