Theres alot less Evo's in the UK than there is Impreza's. Hence the price difference, Impreza's are more common guessing because all the older Evo's were imports and not made in the UK.

As for Impreza prices they have gone up alot, started with lower fuel prices, then rarer models got inflated by such dealers as we dare not speak :norty:

Why would you rather your house went up in value?

Unless you're planning to sell it and live in a tent?

Or move to a proper country with the proceeds lol

And there was me thinking my 95 WRX modified was only worth about £2.5 k . Seen some cars similair to mine in spec but since mines white that must add £500 lol

4.5k for my car me thinks wahay

You can find some bargains its just keeping your eyes peeled. :thumb:

...any cheap hawk spec-c's knocking about? Lol

Only of you want a red one. Loads of those are going good cheap at the moment....

I had my spec c for sale for about 2 months, didn't drop the price but it was £16.495 Ono

A guy turned up, said it was to fast for him, second guy turns up walks around the car once, I took him for a driver wasn't here no longer than 20 minutes, he didn't even attempt to make a offer just said I'll give you the full asking price left a deposit then came back Friday.

Just waiting for the one person who wants to pay what you want.

Billiant LOL :lol1:

Bought a P1 needing a new engine 3 years ago for £2k.
Good condition.
A car with the same mileage and condition at the time was worth £5 or £6k
Now worth £10k

Eventually built to 500bhp spec then sold in parts

Considered another but just can justify £10k when I got a mint V4 type r for a lot less although it does need an engine :D

Plenty of bargains out there, black blob wrx's are becoming very rare now, apparently

Christ, I PX'd my 2003 WRX for just £2500 4 years ago. :eek:

On the good side, just traded my STi for £2250 less than I originally paid, so good result after 4 years of ownership. :thumb:

Typical it happened when I sold my Prodrive Bugeye. Sold it for under 6, would have gotten around 7,7.5 if I still had it now! Though on the plus side, I bought it for 4.5... LOL

Prices are way too high imo, sold my 2003 Spec C with 20k on it 7 years ago for £10,750. Nobody at the time seem to want 1 now everybody is jumping on the band wagon. Now people are paying stupid money for them, are they worth it. IMO no.

But it isn't stupid money if you want one surely? I think cigarettes are stupid money, but people still buy them.
There is a shrinking supply of desireable scoobies due to wastage and cars being broken up which is bound to result in price increases.
But conversely the breaking business prospers as a result of owners not being able to sell for the price they think the car is worth. Plus the owners must make more money selling cars for breaking or it wouldn't happen.

The quality of used scoobies is the issue IMO if you want a desirable model wide track jdm spec c ect and you also want it in a certain condition for that you pay a premium I payed what I was happy with for my jdm knowing it's a rare car and will hold its price. Some of the imports I saw were poor and priced up. there seems to be a big step in price for jdm over uk and IMO is valid not just on spec but also condition in most cases but also there are some uk spec cars for sale trying to price up based on jdm values so it's a bit of a no win situation.

I woz robbed :hjtwofing

I think that a little while ago, when decent cars became worth more sold as bits than a whole car, it was in indicator of the bottom of the market. In the long term, it's only up from there.

As soon as (or if) petrol prices hit the £1.50 a litre mark you'll not be able to give them away. That is exactly what happened last time. :(

WRX's, unless under 50k miles, should not be going for anything near 7k. Find it ridiculous that some trade sellers are selling this for them.

Imo, STi's are just unfortunately going up just for the pure fact they are such a good car. You can't beat that practicality, speed and looks. Although, you can easily make the WRX STi speed with a remap, but don't tell the trade sellers that ;)

You can't make a WRX anywhere near an STi with just a remap. Believe me.

I don't think fuel prices will matter much anymore, certainly not for classics. They're old enough for it not to bother people - who checks the mpg of a Golf Mk I any more? Classics are heading that way in the way people think about them. New buyers will want them mainly as toys, there won't be nearly as many daily runners.

Reading this makes me glad I didn't sell my V4 JDM STI for £5k a few months back when I was having engine problems. Sorted it all out now just need to sort the rust out and I've got a tidy investment no? :D

Depends how desperate you are to sell, I've removed mine from sale. Bodywork is being tidied up and I will enjoy it over summer and may it relist after having my enjoyment out of the car

Prices have definitely shot up, in 2012 I brought a Hawk Sti ppp with 18k on the clock for £10500. The equivalent car now would be nearly 15k.

tbh I do need the money, but I'd probably be more gutted if I sold the car. I've test driven plenty of other ''fast'' cars and noting puts a smile on my face like the Scooby. I do however need to stop using it as a daily...... #gettingalockup

Thats what i keep saying but no one believes me.

I paid £15k for mine with all the bits albeit about 13 months ago
