Know the GC8 Impreza WRX STI

The GC8 is the first-generation Impreza saloon, and in STI form it is the car that built Subaru's rally reputation through the 1990s. It pairs a turbocharged 2.0-litre EJ20 with permanent four-wheel drive, and the STI versions were assembled with closer gear ratios, stronger internals and a driver-controlled centre differential. Japan-market STI cars were sold in numbered version runs rather than model years.

The clock has passed six figures at 118,781 miles, about 191,200 km. Japan's shaken inspection regime means vehicles of this age in the domestic market have been presented for testing on a fixed cycle throughout their lives.

What the specification means

Japanese-market saloons and coupes of this period were built to a domestic specification that never crossed to North America: different engines, different trim, different equipment, and in many cases a model that was simply never offered elsewhere. That is the reason to import one rather than buy a local equivalent — there is no local equivalent.

Above $20,000 a Japanese-market car is being bought as the specific thing it is — a named specification, a limited run, or a drivetrain that never crossed the Pacific. Values at this level are set by scarcity rather than by transport utility.
