Thumbs up New WRX now at Motorpoint for £16k

Presume these are from Cyprus, no details of spec

Motorpoint - View Stock

That's the right price IMHO.

I wanna see what the import STi's are gonna come in at lol. Looking good for low prices again, but guessing the MP ones are currently lowest spec.

Might have a giggle and try one soon, already in a hawkeye, so will be interesting to drive the hatch.

£4k less on the WRX should bring a Motorpoint STi in about £21K for a basic spec.

When I asked a local dealer why I should buy from him and not an import, he told me the imports have one less coat of paint!

True?

False?

SN members should be able to tell me!

Spec D's were heavily discounted when brand new anyway...

Anyone worked out how to make them look nice yet??

Tripe

All Scoobs have a base layer (primer), paint layer (pigment), and clearcoat top layer (sealer).



What he may have meant is that some markets (hot) don't require undersealing which can be easily done DIY, or professionally for IRO £100.

Thanks for that. I knew someone would know the answer.

Would Waxoyl be better than underseal?

Waxoyl is for internal application, inside door voids, pillars etc. Underseal is usually more like a mastic substance which can withstand wind/dirt/water abrasion and chemical attack from salts/acids/oils etc.
