£500 is a bargain mate!
think im going for the uk spec one at the moment , just seems a bit better for me, got more miles on that i would want but got alot of history ! even though my last one did 4k in 3 years!
Well I'm on the lookout for another classic !
Been thro most of them but I think I want a v3/v4 wrx wagon ...... but all I find are sheds or over priced sheds !
They don't salt the roads in Japan so better chance of a good one but
they have some coastal areas like us so in a 20 yr old car expect some rot
personally the money to get one imported I would just buy a nice uk one that's undersealed
