An importer who can be trusted

I have a hankering for a Toyota Chaser.
I see it as doing the same job as our ATR but with loads more mid-range torque.
There are very few for sale at the moment, and my budget doesn't extend to fantasy. Can anyone recommend an importer who won't first take a massive deposit and then deliver dross?

How about DIY?
There are 2 guys on here that have done it and could offer advice I expect?

Worth a thought.
Is there anyone in Northern Ireland who'd like to have a look at this one?

I've looked at the Legacy / Stagea / Legnum comparison a number of times and usually end up preferring a Legnum. There's not a lot in it for real world performance; I just think the Mitsubishi looks the best.

Tuning potential and availability for the Stagea is immense though!
And with the R34 front end grafted on...

Stagea 260RS for performance, Legnum VR4 for looks, Legacy GTB for value IMO. Afaik they were all restricted by the blanket 280PS power limit so realistically there's not much in it in that respect? None of them are slow cars by any measure.
If I had to choose one for myself though it'd be a white Stagea 260RS
