well that looks spot on mate, no chances it should go and i'm glad to see your keeping it now.:thumb:

chrispy200+ 30 August 2010 09:44 PM

Depends if your going to just put the 2008 up for sale to make up the complete amount of cash your looking for, if so then yeah, take it if your not having much luck shifting the 22b

The Zohan 30 August 2010 09:52 PM

I would think the 22b is the one, already regarded as a classic and not likely to loose money of kept nice/used occasionally. If you want a daily driver the the STI is probably the one

Hatch is shocking :nono:

TX.

22b all the way :notworthy

Paulo P 30 August 2010 10:50 PM

As much as I like the hatch STI there is no way on earth I would change a 22B for one. The 22B is the ultimate Impreza and it's a true classic just like the Sierra RS500 etc.

I think you are making the right choice keeping it because it sounds like a good example and you would be hard pushed to replace it when you realised you had made a mistake.

Turbovin 31 August 2010 12:37 AM

Those two cars next to each other makes me wonder what the hell went wrong with Subaru :(

Keep the 22B

squips 31 August 2010 01:06 AM

22b, more desirable seeing as he is willing to p/x for an older car!!

dazdavies 31 August 2010 01:15 AM

Fud, sometimes just sometimes you need a reality slap :D

I know you like money so think of it this way. The 22B will always have value. In 5 years or so what will the hatch be worth? Fack all that's what.

22B all the way its a proper no brainer.

f1_fan 31 August 2010 09:06 AM

Fud, if you had decided on the 2008STI I would have done my best to track you down and have you certified as clinically insane.

That 22B you have there is an icon that will never devalue as long as you leep it A1 and given how it is now you always will. It is by far the best looking Scoob ever made and one of the best to drive.... the 2008STI isn't even that great and as for its looks ... LOL .... so glad you are keeping the 22B.

The 22B is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!! Clearly it has been forsale for a while and no money was offered bar a part exchange plus cash.

HELOO

Why u say that:nono: its been for sale for 2 weeks and i got offered about 10 offers was on e bay with 3 days left last night with 33 bids at £19100 last offer was last night for 24k of here and the lad has the clear funds sure he will back this up.

A 22b no matter what some one offers will always be worth 20k+ no matter what so i think some home work is needed :)

No sh*t and thanks for stating the blindingly obvious.:) and by Fuds reply it appears you are wrong on your second statement!

what you clearly fail to recognise/grasp is that these cars are desirable and rare and people are prepared to pay good money for them the market is depressed at the moment, even the classic/desirable car market. Whilst the STI will only plummet in value and looks like every other eurobox a 22B is pretty unique in looks will maintain and maybe even grow in value. It is not all about the money.

The ownership experience is an important factor:)

Yawn

CAT2 31 August 2010 05:36 PM

So glad you're keeping that immaculate 22b. Would have had it myself if I had the funds. Impreza hatch just doesn't cut it in comparison and never would.

TonyBurns 31 August 2010 05:42 PM

I followed the sheep :lol1:
22B, iconic hand build Impreza, ok its dated, ok it was never the best "on the road" scoob, or the quickest, but it was and still is IMHO one of the best factory Impreza's ever made (well in the classics anyway, then its THE best impreza ever made :D)
The MY08 Hatch is a good car let down by a bad engine, Subaru need to do something about it really, its been an issue ever since it came out, they have now improved the handling on the latest ones, but still the crappy pistons in the 2.5 ltr engine? :(
If it were a JDM 2ltr twin scroll it would tempt me, depending on situation that is, if I could afford both then I would get the JDM, if I had to keep one then it would be the 22B and maybe later on, buy an older blob JDM twin scroll for a bit of fun ;)

Its a hard choice, the newer car is very very capable, more so than the 22B on road, if your doing the miles and only have the one option on a car, then the hatch (just a JDM one ;))

Your fairly new so we may let you off on this one ;)

Tony:D

Love the 22b .... But id never want one as like to drive my cars and driving a classic like the 22b hard would seem wrong to me ...
For that kind of money id be sat happy in a s204 every time and use it hard at weekends etc

dave_garrett 31 August 2010 07:00 PM

22B all the way, its loks will never age, they just get better and better with time :notworthy.

J@Scoobybits 31 August 2010 07:12 PM

Yup 22b my vote also if it is a second car.
If you are selling however as said and the figures stack up makes sense out it!

philhasasti 31 August 2010 07:24 PM

22b... good decision fella

EjK 31 August 2010 07:43 PM

I would f*kn never swap 22B for 2008 Sti, if it was CS400 i would think about it, lol hahaha... but no, definitely, leave 22B on you, its priceless thing, its the same what you could pay for Picaso painting, its the same with 22B. Cheers m8.

I had my type 25 for that and what a great car it was.Im happy i made the right decision about the22 but think 1 day i will tune up a hatch 2.1 mmm.

EDDIE12 31 August 2010 09:04 PM

I was the one that bumped the price up to £19,100.00 on E-bay plus i was the person in question that offered the 24k if it was as good in person as it is in the pics. :thumb:

Sorry I had though with the credit crunch that it might not of been worth as much as that. I clearly no nothing about the 22b other than it was a fantastic car and very expensive when new. I had saw it for sale on ebay and wrongly thought that it was not making your asking price hence you were thinking of a part exchange + plus cash your way. My original statement was supposed to of sayed not enough money was offered bar a part exchange plus cash.

My sincere apologies Mr Fud
