Be very wary when red type25's are involved, this could even be a reshell as I know one was written off and the 2nd blew its engine... Unless it was the same car

Oh and just to add they never made a Blob Type RA with a 100 PCD

This is what happens when you're at the very peak of an asset price bubble, in an economy swamped with cheap money (debt) thanks to zero interest rates and a boe policy of printing money out of thin air.

Chancers and spivs asking silly prices and quite often there will be some gullible mug out there willing to pay (although surely not in this particular case?!)

Personally I think its a good thing, people will keep asking silly money for these types of cars and there are people out there with the money to buy them. Will only add value to the marque in the future!

Not sure if you're being serious or hilariously ironic?

Well done if you are being ironic, very funny

Not really , they might be the odd misinformed village idiot with more money than sense but they wont affect the real market value , true followers of the marque no what models command what price !

It's 13 years old with 90k miles on the clock. I wouldn't pay more than £10-11k for it.

"Any potential viewers will not be permitted to drive the car, however I will take you for a short test run"

Not only do I understand humour, I also understand the nature of debt fueled asset price bubbles and their tendency to always go pop... leaving some mugs holding some very overpriced babies!

how many chavs have 35k? because only a dreamer would even think of giving 35k for a blob impreza.
his market audience is very slim.
maybe mikey carol who won the lottery and blew it all.ha ha.
really hope no one offers him even 20k

My car was featured in an Evo magazine so I might double the price to 20k when I sell it.

I always thought that the type 25 was the 2.5 engine and the 20 was the 2 litre?

No proper details of service history, should have 18 stamps by now, or proof of 5000 mile oil changes. AST suspension ? Needs regular rebuilds. SO little detail on car, so much detail on magazines, email only contact...... seller has to be working away, agent will deliver it. Too dear at half the price

Much as I'd like T25s to be worth this sort of money, this is way over the top.

I'd be happy to get half of that price for mine, and it's got less than half the miles.

I would have thought so, especially if you still have the receipt for it.
