Anyone imported an 06 WRX or STI?

[AVI_8]

With companys like Motorpoint and Alliance now selling brand new WRX's (full uk spec) for £16995 on the road

And new UK spec STI's for £21,995 All with full 3 year manufacturers warranty, and cars in stock with immediate delivery

Have any of you guys gone down this road. OK so you dont get a free PPP but the saving would more than pay for one anyway.

With these company's offering trade in and finance including personal car plan's, the offer seems to be almost too good to be true.

Are the UK cars coming with free PPP now?

I have an 05 from Motorpoint and I've had no problems so far. Would use them again without problem.

Oh yes, but the trade-ins they offer aren't good, but they wont try and hide that. I was told that by the salesman.

Their finance isn't great too. Just get a bank loan instead.

I also bought an 05 WRX from Motorpoint.  Service wasn't great for me - I made the mistake of getting an online trade in value for my old car - when I turned up on the day to pick up my new wheels the swines offered me a lessor amount for my trade in - I had already paid £1k deposit and if I withdrew from the deal I could have lost my deposit (should have read the small print!).  So I lost £200 on the deal (not a lot of money but still it's the principal).  So if you have a trade in dont make my mistake get it viewed by the salesman before signing up.

Apart from that car has been spot on good saving over a subaru dealer - just dont expect any customer service / back up / bunch of flowers for the wife etc.........

Or a paint warranty!!

Well my Subaru is 6 years old now and doesnt have any rust and I think thats the norm so who needs a paint warranty nowadays.
