Possible swap for my 911
Hi Guys, so after selling my track car last year im on the hunt for another, ideally something which will serve dual purpose, a car i can use when im home, and one i can take on track, problem is i have a 996 c4 tiptronic s, 2001 just under 68k and full porsche dealer history, its arctic silver, very very good condition, always garaged, and prices of the early 996 are only going 1 way...However i have no desire to track this in all honesty so im thinking of selling, and quite fancy an impreza, something very good condition, and maybe limited edition wr1 etc.
I used to own a bug sti over ten years ago and always regret never tracking it, so if any of you guys are interested in poss px and are in the north east, fire me a message or reply... I will try and upload some pics of my car but the problem is im offshore at mo and the fire walls are pretty strict with picture hosting sites. i value my car circa 13k, and for the right car would put cash either way. Dont be confused guys this isnt me trying to offload something thaats knackered, its a mint car with full dealer history and lives under cover in my garage and used now and then in fine weather. If there is any interest i will see if i can find a way to upload some pics.. |

Thanks for offer but yours is worth no where near same as mine, even without knowing mileage. |
sorry for the poor pictures. they no where near do the car justice.

Stunning car Jono :) but if you are going to focus on a Subaru for track days then a Spec C would be the one to go for imo :) ( they are holding their value very well now and if you can get an STi Spec C RA, all the better) though there was an S203 for sale in Accrington from a dealer which may be interesting :)

That Porker is beautiful & an awful lot of car for the money.Will undoubtedly be a classic at some point in the future & will be worth considerably more than it is now.Very nice.:thumb:

For a track replacement subaru it can only be the spec c or spec c Ra if newage is your fancy or a type r classic.
They are the best your going to get as Tony said. A wr1 and p1 won't be very exciting compared to above two. But lovely car, hoping to bag myself a 997 at some point in future just for my own daily and occasional track toy. |

im actually now thinking do i defy the wife just keep this and buy something around the 5 6k mark...as i know i will probably kick myself in a year or 2 when these are maybe worth another 5 to 10k..

no disrespect to you or your 911
but i doubt very much it's going to be worth 5/10k more in 2 years time |

The engines are a bit of a worry though aren't they.....
|
More so the later 3.6 unit. apparently the 3.4 is the better engine from an engineering point of view. But as you say you do need to be careful when buying.

A low miles manual C4S or Turbo is in with a shot of appreciating 5k in two years, but I can't see a narrowbody Tip doing the same.
No offence btw - and your 996 looks like a lovely example. Personally I reckon an Impreza is a much better road than track car - would be looking at an E46 M3, RS Megane or Honda Type R for track, but that's just me. |

:lol: you could not of driven a Spec C on track! If you had you'd know that it will run rings all of the above. Simples. :thumb:
Which is kind of my point, actually, It's easy to drive an Impreza fast, but a 2WD car on a track offers more of a challenge, more adjustability, more options entering and exiting a corner, and ultimately more fun. Which is more important to me personally than being the quickest guy out there. (The road is a different matter of course.) |
"An average driver in a Impreza will be quicker than an average one in an M3" was my point. Nobody mentioned which would be the most fun!

The 911 is now on eBay.. Already had 3 offers. The best 12500 but looking for 13 or more ideally. See what the week brings. New impress may not be too far away
