Anybody know anywhere that sells jap import impreza in or close to london.
Any help would be greatly received. Thanks.

 

what you after bud, fresh import or one already uk regestered.?

 

Not really to sure to be honest mate. I'm thinking about a type r or sti limited.

 

SVA Imports arent a million miles away down in Dover

 

SVA Imports in Dover have some really nice cars

STI type R version 6 V limited

i would ask about some subaru forum's as these cars will be well known
to club members and people can let you know how good or not they are.
prob get a well sorted one for them same money as a dealer will charge you for a standard one, just a thought.
type r

 

There seems to be quite a mark up at the dealers. I bought private and have been very happy, used DEKRA to check out the car first. Worked out a lot cheaper than going to an import specialist. That said, a big one will have a nice range and you can drive them and try them out.

 

SNAP!

 

That was what I was hoping to do really. Drive a few and see how they
Compared to my newage sti. With the the intention of selling my car to go
And buy a classic type r.

 

Go for it then. If theyre concentrated at one place then that makes sense to go and try them out, also avoids the private seller/test drive /no insurance issues.

Going from newage back to classic? I went the other way (admittedly uk turbo to JDM sti), fancy a change or looking for a track weapon?

Good luck

 

I just fancy a change really mate. I dont really need 4 doors anymore and wanted to get another impreza, so going to a classic type R or even a P1 seemed like a possibility. But only if i can find a good first.

 

I did think about these guys, but i remember reading a thread on here not to long ago saying that they were cowboys and a load of people had bad stories about them.

 

While I'm no expert aren't there prices off by about 3k? I've seen loads advertised at 3.5-5k for the same stuff.

 

I think so mate.

 

Would say they are a little high as expected from a dealership. Not had any dealings with them so cant comment. Worth a trip to try a few if nothing else surely?

 

I agree their prices are a little high.

 

Yeah maybe worth a look. Nothing to lose I suppose

 

if price reflects its condition then go have a look.....

i assume you have already driven a type r and a p1 ?

 

A little? The only time you should ever see a 9k sign on a classic is if the words 400+ bhp, forged engine and really low miles are in the add. The only advantage I see buying from a place like this is if it's just been imported you know some Chav hasn't ran it on 95 for years and maybe no rust.

 

I drove a P1 when they first came out, so whats that 10 or so years ago, but never driven a type R.
