Another 50P extra a litre is alot, i remember many on here selling theres as they couldn't afford to use as a daily driver. Not saying its the only reason, but i bet you the base models would drop like a brick, easy loose a few grand off the price.

When the petrol gets too dear it'll weed out all the chavs going round mutilating decent Subarus. They'll have to sell up (cheap) or break , which may lower the value of all subarus but if you can hold on to a nice one they will be a rarity as the rest will be rotting away somewhere or in bits.

Totally disagree dude just because one has money doesn't necessarily mean they have taste infact I think the chaviness is based on ones opinion to the others but when you see an e36 coupe with a scooby vent glued on it that to me is chaviness infact if your skint you won't be doing much chaviness on much as it'll be hard enough to keep up with fuel costs just my opinion dude

Parts for classics are becoming harder to get, not basic parts but specific ones, gearboxes etc or hubs , try finding a decent TY752VB3FA gearbox ( just the normal Jdm box of a 95 WRX)
Search for a white panel part of any classic etc

Yes it has massively effected the prices. In 2014 Nov-Dec i was hunting around for another classic, i watched Impreza P1's sell for around 5-6k mark. Saw a number of type r's go for 4k. Petrol was at £1.40+ 12 months ago
And 12 months on and Nov-Dec i looked about for some bargains none to be had. Struggled to find a type r under 6k and P1's no chance cheapest 9k mark. Petrol was under £1.00 a litre, so your saying that had nothing to do with it?

Another example is the BMW M5, seriously considered one - but the running costs are way too much for what I would use it for.

The trouble is, a lot of people don't really have a clue how much they cost to run, that's what there are a lot of multi owner cars out there.

Now most of your average subaru owner's just cannot afford to run the cars properly, that includes missing essential parts out of the service schedule (if serviced at all), cheap tyres, worn 2nd hand parts, poor quality fuels etc, so only those enthusiasts who spend the money will have a car that is worth anything tbh.

........and some mug will probably buy that on the never never because £150 a month is nothing compared to splashing out 9K in one hit. Then the flip side is, Mr private seller see's this and advertises a similar car for 8k and so on and so on.
The above is the reason prices are so high, traders chancing their arm and people being sucked in with weekly payment plans.

JDM cars are costing more and more to import the Yen has gone up against the pound 16% since October and is set to continue to rise, so if you want to import one do it soon!

Cheap and easy credit is the main reason why people are willing and able to pay current stupid prices.

Have to disagree with the petrol prices as all old classic car prices have gone the same way recently not just Impreza's, it just coincided with full prices
My E30 M3 was worth 5k in 1998 now priced at around 30k I guess its due to those fuel prices PMSL

Original quote
Petrol prices shouldn't affect the price of the scoobies, not the classics anyway
Your reply
Yes it has massively effected the prices. In 2014 Nov-Dec i was hunting around for another classic, i watched Impreza P1's sell for around 5-6k mark. Saw a number of type r's go for 4k. Petrol was at £1.40+ 12 months ago

Now you quote this
Your talking about an M3 i'm taking about Impreza's in general, standard WRX's have gone up 1-1.5k over last year. If price of fuel went up to £1.40 next week, prices will drop.
You need to make your mind up, 1st you quote classic prices now subarus in general, like my original quote "shouldn't effect the classics".
I for 1 wouldn't sell my Type r due to fuel prices, but that is just me

Thats correct Impreza prices in general not just P1 or Type R's, although the type r's are still being imported.
I'm not saying that other things like breakers breaking them won't help, and that prices normally don't go up for rarer cars, but prices started to increase rapidly as fuel started going below a certain number. When fuel prices hit £1.40 we had quite alot of people sell there impreza's as couldn't afford to run them as a daily driver.
