• I'm off to look at this STi tomorrow, first time buying a car from a used car lot. Seems to be a reputable enough business, they've been importing JDM nuggets for over 25 years. Anyway, enough guff, help me out. Tips please.

  • Hmm, very possible that has been imported from a snowy part of Japan so look closely for any bubbles under the paint, look under car if bolts and suspension looks rusted out.

    Other basics of oil condition, coolant etc. Does the car blow any smoke when backing off the throttle.

    That looks like a fairly unmolested example so that's a good thing.

    Look for any signs of over spray around door jambs, in wheel arches. And check tyres are good and not 10 years old.

  • That is a a “tuned by STI” not a true STI fyi - so don’t pay a big premium
