Default reccomend a good import dealer please

Hi i am looking for a classic sti,anywhere from a v3 onwards.I would prefer a later one but i have been told that they are now not being imported due to there being no model report.I am looking for an import which has just been brought into the country and not been used over here yet.Can you reccomend a good relaiable dealer that sells mint cars? I have seen plenty of imports but like most things in life everyone seems to be trying to make money out of them and there is a load of crap out there!I am happy to travel the country but would prefer as close to the north east as possible.
cheers

Ask to see the auction appraisal sheet; dont buy a car without one. It will establish the auction grade (accept nothing other than a 3.5 or a 4 overall and ideally a 'B' interior), the odometer reading and it will list all faults and body defects. Having the auction appraisal sheet also establishes that the seller bought the car from auction in Japan rather than from a skanky docks auction here. The majority of 'importers' and 'import specialists' couldnt point Japan out on a map, let alone import a car from there.....
