Default Car swap advice please

Hi guys, sold my WRX earlier this year and picked up a 06 BMW z4 with 78k on the clock for the summer ( what was I thinking) and now I'm bored of it.
I've been offered a black blob wrx with 70k and the following spec

"SAT NAV +TV, 3" EXHAUST SYSTEM, SPORTS CAT, ECUTEK REMAP, STI UPRATED INTERCOOLER, STI AIR VENT, ZERO SPORTS INTERCOOLER SPLITTER, APEXI OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, APEXI BOOST PRESSURE GAUGE, APEXI OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE, ZERO SPORTS HOLDER, CLIFFORD G5 FULL CLOSURE ALARM SYSTEM, TRACKER SYSTEM. Last serviced on 18/06/2013 at 70,000 miles, Full service history, "

With a proven 280bhp and 36 months warranty including the turbo.

What's your opinion ?
Thanks

Your car is worth quite a bit more than the impreza.

Even being such a basic car it would still make over 5 grand.

A 3-year warranty, on a car that's (at least) 8 years old ???
I bet the 'fair wear & tear' clause will be used if needed.

However, the mileage is low for a car of (at least) that age, and the spec you've mentioned certainly makes it worth looking at imo.

Plus you've owned a WRX so will have an idea of how a scooby should perform when you test drive it.

And now that Summer's coming to an end I know which car I'd prefer to be driving.

Ofcourse the chap wants to swap, his car is worth a grand less than yours. .......

Advertise your BMW and get it sold privately. Admittedly its not the best time of year but bottom of the scale Z4's are prerty saleable. You'll then have a decent wedge of cash to find an impreza.
