which holds more value? P1 or Sti bugeye?
 

hi guys

will be buying a scoob again in this week and been thinking of 2 scoobs...
they are both the same price and their specs :

2001 (Y reg) STI bugeye JDM
38k miles
TEK3 1.6bar 330/330
no FSH

2001 (X reg) P1
70k miles
full STI 9 short block with new pistons, valves, crank...etc. Done 4kmiles sice rebbuild
ECUTEK'd 300+ bhp
6pots front brakes
FSH


if they are both the same price which will hold their value better?? if i was goin to sell it in 1 year?? need some serious advice

many thanks
kevin

P1 every day of the week now that both fall into the same price bracket.

Based on prices i have seen it would have to be the P1.

The P1 any day .... particularly as its had the obligatory engine rebuild!! ;)

:D :D :D :D :thumb:

I knew you would be back mate :D

Tough decision P1 is a lovely motor :thumb: , has to be a bug eye though, but then again i'm bias :D

I considered getting that very P1 before deciding on getting my WRX 'Blobeye'
I just prefer the newage look.

Definitely P1 m8, beats the looks of a bug eye aswell.

whats up with the evo ?

Also depends on whether or not you need 4 doors...........

P1, no hesitation

TEK3 1.6bar 330/330

im only running 1.35 and its 357/361
1.6 seems a little high!!??

oh and yep the p1 all day

p1 alllllllday long,bugeye i do like,they are growing on me:)

evo sold.... i am sorry but after driving it for 2weeks, its a car for $hit drivers, it does everything for you when you corner... yes its fast but its not fun :nono:

:D yes.... miss the flat4 rumble

you want to sell me your car?? i am loving it

so guys...

even the high mileage on the P1 its still easier to sell in the future and worth more??

or how about a STI V6 type R with 23k miles FSH ???

P1 or save for a 22b

P1!!!

If only I had the money!:brickwall

Tempting, but i'm loving it too much ;)

Good luck with the hunt, no chance of getting your bug back for old time sake? :norty:

With the P1, I personally, would avoid the high mileage even though it's had a rebuild, your choice though :thumb:

i wish i cold get mine back.. the current owner is very happy with it :notworthy , and i doubt i can get one with the excat same mods... even the exhaust i have sourced for 3months....

anychance you comming up to the herts scooby meet?? :norty:

Take his satisfaction as a compliment to your hard work :thumb:

Yeah I'm gonna try and make an appearence some time very soon :) , but I'm wollowing around in a 2.0 TD rover 75 at the moment while shes in for a uprated clutch and a super lightweight flywheel :norty: back on wednesday though :luxhello:

flat 4 rumble,cant beat it can you,just put a decat on my p1 and it
sounds awsome:) wanted the centre straight through aswell,wife says:nono:
remap with bob this weekend cant wait.

As an indication - my P1 is Sept 2000, owned by me from new, 42K miles, cost £31K. Value now circa dunno but guessing around £14Kish or approx 45% of original value -- not too shabby for a 5.5 year old car...

Even including tek 3 and Alcon big brakes at around £2K additional cost still gives 42%+ residual.

Done well so far, but harder question is from now on.

p1 every time

I think a P1 will hold it's value better as it's a special edition.

P1 all day long!

That is a different proposition - a different car to drive - certainly doesn't do everything for you like an EVO, but very rewarding to drive when you get it right (but not if you get it wrong :shock: ) More hardcore than a P1, but would be my choice (especially with the low miles and much rarer in the UK - prob about 10 max - referring to the Ltd models here - my mistake - will be lots more non Ltd version 6 Type Rs).

I would prefer the P1 over the bugeye - as I used to own one for 2 years.

Just on resale value alone though, I would think they are pretty evenly matched - maybe the P1 will edge it - but only a couple of hundred quid in it IMHO after 12 months.

Out of all 3 I'd take the Type R at the right price and colour - you can't beat Sonic Blue on a classic. :D:D:D

P1 deffo :D
