Only thing with looking at buying a 205, a very decent one with MI will be 2 to 3 K. MY99/00 Imprezas are close to that right now. Yes the 205 will be cheaper to run but if its a 2nd car cost isn't too big an issue.

See your point, but one of the reasons I bought the 205 was the "oh, thats different, don't see these much any more" factor, balanced with readily available parts and a simple to work on car in general.

Thing I've found is Scoobs will continue to depreciate at a faster rate than these. i wholly expect 205's to over take Scoobs eventually as they become rarer and Scoobs become more readily available. Maybe when a my99-00 is 20 years old and very few may be available, will their prices rise.

Definately. 205 prices went really low when the dross was pulling down the prices of the good ones. Now its obvious which are the looked after ones the prices have increased a little.

The same will happen with Imprezas. Imagine if only a quarter of scoobs were actually built - they'd command the same prices as Lancia Integrale - which are just bonkers even now.
