hi, i am going to view a wrx-sti v5 but it has an irish plate . How can i be sure of the my and version as the car does not come with import papers .Dont know how to post pics but have some of the outside and inside

any help greatly appreciated

 

Simple, check the SIDC FAQ and scroll down to section 2.2.1 IIRC where you will get all the Japanses car model codes. Check the car's VIN plate to make sure the car has the correct model code for what it is claiming to be.

 

Check the chassis number
INFO HERE

 

version4 cosmetic differences to V5...
V5 has Diamond style Lights, High Rear Spoiler, Facelift front bumper, different fabricated seats....
