Looks good to me, but is it really?

What questions should I be asking?

Ajax

you could ask them to drop the price by 3k

or buy a my03 on import for about the same price

unclebuck

noticed you have one on order. Is it the same price? Don't you have to add VAT to one you import yourself?

Eldar

Yes, you add VAT to imports. Even after that, they are substantially cheaper.

Eldar, so if this price is the total (inc. VAT) that's got to be a good deal, surely?

Ajax,

Impreza WRX STi Type EURO £23,395 **
Impreza WRX 4DR Type EURO £16,395 *

So it appears that is car would be *not* be an STi then?! What do you get for the extra 5k?

S.B.

£17100=02 model

Impreza WRX 4DR Type EURO £16,395 * =03 model

which is better eeeerrrrrrrrrr

Ajax

you have been talking about the wrx now you want an sti

the one you originaly wanted was the wrx

make yer mind up

unclebuck

Yes, I realise that, but if the 02 it the total and the 03 is + VAT then that kinda tips the scales, yes?

Ajax

The boys on here will tell you to got for the STI i would think.
group 20 insurance

the wrx is group 19 and does 0 to 60 in 5.8, fast enough for me, but then i dont do track days.

unclebuck

Ajax, true, true.... WRX will do. I'm just wondering what the *major* differences are?

Eldar

Not a bad price, but you could get an 03 model for about the same or a little less. Trouble is, there is normally a 6 month wait for delivery.

Or look at a 2 year contract hire, and order an import 6 months before the end of the lease. Expect to pay around £275 a month for a lease...

Virgin Cars

SUBARU IMPREZA saloon
WRX (4 drs) Now ! From £17,581 or

unclebuck

Yea, but you would *still* have to add the VAT. If this price includes it (and I think it does). Then it's actually 17.5% cheaper which is what I would expect for 'end of line stock'.

unclebuck

I make it 14,100 near as damn it. Pretty good for a new WRX

Ajax

Litchfield Imports
£16,385 on the road

Rusty Festa

A pink badge

unclebuck

Damn, need to read up on this. Where's the best place for info?

Missed it

Ajax

i would think about four to six months

then again will uk garages get them much sooner

unclebuck

That's not so bad I guess. Would give me time to sell my current Scoob too. (unless I can talk these other guys down to a sensible price - worth a try)

Personally I quite like the bug eye shape. Not sure about the 03 yet.
