Default Selling MY97 STI but what next

Well it looks like the car will be going on Sunday sad to see it go but I have got a good price for it and as I am in France and with the £ been so weak against the € I couldn’t resist.
I will be looking for something newer and with a baby on the way thought new age would be a better option.

I have 6.5-7k and want another STI preferably a PPP. I have seen some blobs go for this amount and did see a high mileage Hawk go cheap but can’t seem to find any at the moment maybe New Year will be the best time to get one when the credit card bills come in
I would have a bug at a push if it’s very nice but would prefer a blob if I can

You guys seen anything around?

Be controversial ? Get a tidy low mileage Prodrive Edition bug-eye.....

Fancy I saying that !

There should be more than enough room in the boot of a saloon they aren’t exactly a small car people manage in corsas clios etc will just make sure I get a push chair that fits

FORESTER wash your mouth out am still under 30. If I had 3 kids and 40 might have to think about it.

I have just been out for a run in it and really don’t know if I am doing the right thing selling it it really is a nice car and don’t think I would want another classic after this one as it’s so good.
Will I be disappointed in a bug or blob STI?

At your age maybe.... I'm very old and quite like the extra security a little middle-age spread gives on the "twisties", that's my bug-eye.

I think you may miss the classic mate, newages are good but just arent as raw/fun imho. Totally up to you and whatever suits your circumstances bud.

Well the classic has now gone very odd feeling seeing it drive off.

But I can get looking for a replacement now.
Been looking at a few Prodrive Bugs on the net there are few of these around most say they are rare but I need to check they have the PPP as well.
Would prefer a blob but think I am pushing it a little on my budget.
