the price is willing to deal at is £16k, I've not seen one advertised near that price to be honest.

i would have assumed all you mention has been sorted to avail of a UK MOT?

Radio obviously isn't part of an MOT....

The speedo looks like its still in KMH - you can see the "100" mark at the top, compare that to a UK MPH clock - 100 is at "two o'clock". You can of course go retro with this and stick some stickers on like in the 1980's  :grin:

Can't see the light switch to see if it has the position for the fog lights either. Could be just a bad photo... might not be!

You can find similar UK vehicles advertised just under 18k, probably can come down a bit with some haggling... which if you add in the hassle of fixing this one... which is why its cheap.

speedo has the digital MPH in the centre although he has a MPH dial which is included in the sale.

Fog lights are fitted as standard from the factory as a European car.

Radio is in Japanese (however for additional £150 he can have Radio frequency changed to UK and satnav etc. to English.

I guess you've got all of your answers and you are happy with your bargain then.

Enjoy!

I ended up buying this Clubsport in January and have zero regrets. The condition was second to none compared to UK offerings and had a much more desirable spec also.

The seller Richard is a top bloke and has been importing cars for over 20 years independently and has a constant stream of vehicles in transit. As I left he was on his way to the local docks to pick up a 5 series tourer and currently has a really nice Impreza for sale.
