Love the 22B - Factory Subaru Phatness at its best!

Unless they've had multiple 22B's (kinda doubt it) - Autostyle have been trying to offload this for at least a good 12 months or so...

DO IT! 

god i love 22bs!! Widebody FTMFW!! 22b, RB320 and s401 are the nicest subarus ever to roll off the production line..

they may have been trying to offload this one for 12months due to the price.. i know subies are more expensive over in Oz but there was a 22b for sale in NZ recently for about 60 IIRC. it have more Kms but it was still a genuine 22b.. and also nicky grists 22b was for sale in blighty not to long ago and i dont think its price was that bad either..

Beyond belief.

Dosen't matter how much that car's value is in other countries. You can't get one locally, and you sure as hell would have trouble importing it here under SEVS rules, and then it would not be registerable anyway.
I agree that its overpriced in comparison to other countries, but he's not concerned because some lunatic WRX lover may eventually pay a very high price.
Starting price at auction Yen2.75mil (AU$27500),may go to Yen4mil (AU$40000) or more, then add aircon degass, steam clean, licence and export fees, roll on roll off fees, duty and taxes on CIF, import and shipping fees and wow that's not nearly as cheap as you thought it was going to be.

206Kw 363Nm Torque and 1270Kg it would get moving ok but its by no means a supercar. I kind of expected more out of something so damn expensive.

this is true, but then who could have thought that we would be seeing E49 Chargers and XY GTHO Phase 3's going for hundreds of thousands.. or for that matter a lot of other Muscle cars too.. its all so unpredictable. will all depend if in 10 years time the guys who love these cars have a lot of money to blow and are seeking 22B's

doesnt quaify under sevs, must be personly imported

Yep Shane (and d-gen) that's correct. For us mere mortals with no contacts in Japan, It is probably the only way to get one here.
Even then, you still have to jump through hoops to get the import licence.

^^^^^ Drool.
