Hi mate

In the insurance world the word import does tend to make them pull funny faces .Mainly because they see it as higher repair costs when parts are damaged etc.. also many imports had have higher bhp than the uk cars so that makes a difference aswell.

Hope That makes some sense ?

Elephant are excellent when it comes to insuring imports.

The online quote service has options for UK cars, UK cars imported from Europe, JDMs, and virtually every special edition.

I was quoted £1800 (£250 excess) for an import Evo 9.

To put this into perspective, other online insurers were quoting £4k+ for UK spec Evo 8s, with £1k excess!

what do you want from a scoob, assuming your about to buy one? are you after power... if so speak to andy forrest performance... these guys are the fantastic...

according to them uk, wrx or sti they can get upto 400bhp out of the standard engine... so if it's power you want get a uk as it will be cheaper on insurance..
