Default Buying advice

Hi guy's, i'm in the process of re-entering the world of scooby ownership and need a bit of advice. Having previously owned a nice red mica turbo 2000 i'm now looking for an import, probably an sti v3. I've got around 5.5k to spend but not really sure as to what i'm looking at. What should i keep an eye out for when viewing and are there any common faults i should be aware of? Thanks in advance guy's, can't wait to get behind the wheel of a scoob again Oh and anybody want a nice mk4 golf gti turbo? 44k 18's service history etc...



Oh yea and what does the 'grade' of an import mean?

Ta

The number on the import grade refers to the outside condition and the letter refers to the inside. i.e. 5A would be mint like mine.

Anyone? I'm after specific advice on Jap imports, especially Sti version 3's. Any other tips on what to look for would also be great!
