Smart buyer checklist

Treat this as two groups. Required items protect you from payment loss and fraud — if a seller resists any of them, walk away. Ideal items help you assess the car's condition; when one is missing, factor it into your risk and your offer rather than treating it as automatic fraud.

Requiredfraud and payment-loss prevention

Confirm title status. Clean, salvage, rebuilt, or no title — and the title's jurisdiction — should be clear before you wire.
Confirm the car is importable to your location. That's your homework, not the seller's; if the import path is unclear, step back and verify before paying.
Read the bill of sale before you wire. "As-is" with no warranty is normal; anything that removes inspection or payment protections is a red flag.
Use a third-party escrow service; never wire to a personal account. For dealer sales, a wire to the business account named on the invoice is normal; for private-party sales, use escrow.

Idealvehicle-condition diligence; factor missing items into risk and price

Ask for the export certificate. If the car was exported from Japan recently, the deregistration document can help confirm provenance and timing.If unavailable: certificates for older imports are often filed away, so absence is a risk signal, not automatic fraud.
Ask for underbody, engine bay, and rear-quarter photos. Those areas reveal rust and repair work that hero shots can hide.If unavailable: the car may still be in transit or storage; review existing media and ask for fresh shots once it's accessible.
Consider a third-party pre-purchase inspection (PPI). A specialist inspection can catch issues that change the price.If unavailable: a PPI is often not feasible while the car is still overseas, so price the added uncertainty instead of treating it as proof of fraud.

The Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA was a lightweight, performance-focused variant of the first-generation Impreza WRX, designed primarily for rally homologation. “RA” stood for “Rally Applicant,” and the model featured weight-saving measures, no A

BS, and a close-ratio 5-speed gearbox. Equipped with Subaru’s EJ20 turbocharged flat-four and all-wheel drive, it laid the groundwork for Subaru’s dominance in World Rally Championship competition throughout the 1990s. Nice condition inside and out and runs and drives great. Recent tires / oil change / shift bushing. 15′′ rally wheels with new 205/50R15 tires (necessitated ft. mudflap removal); KYB Super Special RALLY struts; bolt in cage. Front skid-plate and very clean undercarriage. Interior clean with seats / door panels / headliner / etc. all in good condition. Exterior painted lime-green / zero rust. Drive-train engine runs well and transmission / clutch / steering / brakes all feel excellent. Fresh oil change and shift-bushing and tires. Highlights & Specification EJ20 turbocharged flat-four (closed-deck, early GC8 architecture) 5-speed manual AWD with viscous center differential (RA-spec gearing and setup) Factory lightweight RA configuration (reduced trim / homologation spec) Power windows A/C blows cold Bolt-in roll cage Uprated suspension KYB Super Special RALLY Aftermarket wheels with new tires Additional minor performance-oriented improvements Clean undercarriage with aluminum skidplate GC8B47D Type RA is version 2 specs. This car falls into the early GC8 development cycle that directly mirrors Subaru’s rapid evolution in WRC competition. The Version 2 cars (late 1994 onward) saw incremental improvements in braking, durability, and drivability over Version 1, while retaining the raw, mechanical character that defines the early WRX. Early GC8s are worth considering if you’re drawn to: Early Subaru WRC history Lightweight homologation special Real driver’s car A clean, honest Type RA with the right upgrades and presentation. Hard to replicate today at this level without significant time and cost. More info MY94 WRX Type RA specification
