Default Was really happy with my car and then.....

After buying the new spoiler yesterday was absoluty sure i was keeping my car and was really happy with it.
Then driving passed a local garage today and something yellow catches my eye. It was an EVO 8, no price (now up for £16995), had just arrived 10 minutes before. So stopped to have a look, what a mistake that was. It's an FQ300 in yellow with half Yellow and black leather/alcantra interior, 4000 miles on a 53 plate, it is stunning the interior is really nice unlike most EVO's i've seen.
Told my Mrs about it and she wanted to go and see it, ended up taking it for a test drive, Not any quicker than my car but a lot more firm and precise feeling.

Now i don't know what to do 312bhp Impreza Anyone???

If i could sell my car today i'd buy it tomorrow, but it's going to go quickly coz it is quite cheap, very low milage and has a very rare interior. He's had severel people phone about it already even when i was talking to a women phone about it. They won't give me **** all for my car, so my only option would be buy it then sell mine later and i don't fancy being stuck with 2 cars.

That's probably it, it's in WD Cars in crosskeys, for anyone that interested.

Anyway after much thought i've decided not to bother, i'm going to keep my car. Even though it is a stunning looking car (really you have to see it, the interior makes it, wish i'd took some pics), even if i get £9k for mine (which is probably optimistic) i've still got to find £8k for a car that only just as quick a mine(altougth newer,still in warrenty, and probably better handlling). It is an awsome looking car but i need to buy a house in the near future. Plus i think it must have been clocked coz the interior looks like it has done more than 4000 miles and i'm only going to want to mod it if i bought it (17" rims just wouldn't do, and it's capable of more like 380-400bhp) which i couldn't afford to do with the payments on a loan.

Maybe in a couple of years but then i'll get the FQ340 or the ultimate FQ400, but for now i think the scoob will more than do, it too is an awsome car that with a few more tweeks can out perform most standard EVO's.

Yeap, that's the interior, i really like that, better than the usual blue cloth they come with. The one i look at had the standard 17" wheels though.

Ah well never mind.
