Hello, looking to get my S15 in June, and just wanting some buying advice, whether to buy one here or get one imported (know ill have to wait a bit longer) It's mainly to do with what I can get for my money, and having a car which I can say is mine, being 'built not bought' as if I buy a car thats been in the UK a reasonable amount of time, then it will already have mods done to it, and be known to loads of people at meets and on forums, I don't really wanna be in the situation of hearing 'hey nice car, isnt that *****'s old car' as id want to brand it as my own.

That all probably sounds a bit odd, but I know what I mean :p

So better to import a car?
I've heard good and bad things about various import companies, talking to Torque and JM-Imports about S15's at the moment and the prices for the miles they will approx have seem alright.

OR

Attempt to find a good car in the UK?
Looking at spending around £9-10K Max on the car, wouldnt mind engine mods if done properly, but bodywork is the first thing id want to make my own impression on.

Cheers for any input :)

There are loads of threads on the same topic, the search function works very well on here :thumbs:;

Ultimately it comes down to you, if you are already concerned about buying a car that someone else over here has owned, then it looks like you have made your decision without anyone's input :)
