As the title says.... which company did you use? Emporer, Litchfiled etc. Did you get good service, delivery on time etc. Any info you have would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Tony.

 

Thinking of a change Tony?

 

Yep.... mines beginning to show it's age now. From looking at the various websites if i order in the next few months i should have one by next March. The wait's not ideal but that is when my insurance runs out so could be good timing.

Tony.

 

Any news on tweeks to the MY04 yet?

 

Not that i've heard..... not done much digging yet. Only really decided this yesterday.

Tony.

 

Try chiark, I know he bought his from a UK Dealer but I'm sure he will have checked out the various Importers prior to deciding to buy UK

Guy

 

I have had a quick word, he got a bit of a discount with a UK dealer. I may take this coarse as i was thinking about getting the PPP, the euro imports have to have this fitted in the country of origin .

I purchased mine through Iain Litchfield at Litchfield Imports...

Good service, all in all - and a good price.

Email me as per profile if you wish to know any more - especially WRT the PPP options...

Import yourself & save more dosh,it's easy.
I imported a MY 02 direct from Garage Knockeart in Belgium
full uk spec & 3 year warranty for £16,500
very pleased with car & service-they even speak
good English.Only drawback it takes 6 months.

Good luck.

 

Bought sti8 from David Hendry Cars, not the best price, best deal all in all, I think he has wrx's in stock.

 

Well lane

 

got my 03 from motorprovider.co.uk good price great car but paid him £300 for an alarm system , found out its a cat 2 to 1 upgrade which is no good car needs full cat 1, i'm giving him the chance to sort it out before i drag him through the small claims courts

 

ooo and i forgot to say his employee sarah, i heard her calling me a ****** when i called to ask if they had registered my warranty with subaru uk, i told mark justin bignell but he just sniggered-- says it all

 

Eurekar

Very helpful customer sevice

£16,706 all in when I ordered it last November (good exchange rate back then - fixed til delivery). Received car with alarm fitted in early April (as expected).

Would probably do it all myself in future tho' (just to save the couple of hundred extra quid )

 

Cheers guys, now i've definately decided to change not sure i can wait 6 months. Maybe well lane might be the answer for me. I'll keep looking tho.

Tony.

 

Well Lane

 

Another vote for Well Lane then..... only problem with that is i want the PPP and don't fancy the drive to europe to get it fitted.

Tony.

 

Well Alne as well. Are they still imoporting - couldn't see anything on thier website about it anymore....

 

Just phoned Well Lane, the 03 WRXs are £18295 with a cat 2 alarm. If you say at least £350 for a cat 1 alarm then you're looking at £18645. After speaking to some UK dealers i could get one for about £19250 so a saving of £605....... not worth it at all. I'd rather get the uk car and have less hassle, better resale values, PPP fitted locally rather than europe etc. If the saving was a few £1000 then fine but £600 isn't worth it.

Tony.

 

Yup, the hayday of importing is over in my eyes

Add on the cost of 3 years subaru assist to your import, and it's all rather marginal. Especially for a 5 door.

I got my car from Crossroads Garage, which is a UK franchised Subaru dealer near Shipston on Stour. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending speaking to Jon Mathers, the sales chap there.

good luck

 

Cheers .

Tony.
