Default Thinking of Selling

Good Afternoon ESC,

I have been thinking of selling the scoob!

But all is not lost as I want to replace it with the Legacy 3.0R Spec B, and I just wondered if anyone has driven one and if so what they are like? I'm tempted to get a test drive and also in the new Impreza too.

But thought I would ask some opinions from my fellow ESC members.

I'd just say think hard. We all know they are money pits, but they are a fantastic car. I have no experience with the other cars you have listed, but before you sell make sure you test drive some.

I sold my scoob in January, its now June and I am banging my head against a brick wall wishing I had never sold it.

I found I get bored of cars very easily, usually changing them once or twice a year. The scoob lasted two years and only sold it becuase of a house purchase.

Once I get this kitchen sorted, I think there will be a subaru replacement fund set up

Cheers for the comments fitzscoob. I'm thinking of all the points I really love about the car, and also the points I will not miss. I will be test driving both I think, but have not definatly decided what I'm doing.

I like the classics, but I'm after some more extras!!

Will be trying to get a test drive in the legacy I think, but the missus doesn't like it and wants to keep her car!!

Not defiantly going to change yet though. Her indoors has spoken.

i think you should wait to see what my payrise is and then i might be able to buy the spec c off you ........................ well i can at least dream.

about the legacy though, i wouldn't mind one. not had the chance to drive one yet. am guessing that the downside to a bit more comfort would be that the responses are a fair bit slower.
