Is this price realistic?
Can these cars in this condition really command these prices?

As they say, it's worth what someone will pay for it. If someone wants a v low mileage P1, then they might be prepared to pay that premium (I use the word premium politely). It IS a v rare find in all fairness.
Personally, I think it's hopelessly optimistic. It's worth half that on a very good day!

There was a chap on facebook last night sick of getting stupid offers on his 2.1 strokered P1. He had it up for £7.5k and was getting silly offers of £3k so wanted someone to take it off his hands for £6k.

In essence, the one linked will never sell for that, not even half. I'm not even convinced they are more rare than Type R's.

The only reasons the price of P1's held high was dealer support for UK car and insurance for imports being expensive as well as a lot of people not knowing about the Type R, but once they became 10yrs old and no import duty more people got to know about them and availability increased the price of P1's fell to it's true worth. in fact they are quite often less than Type R's these days and can be had for £4k. It's only the P1 fan boys / dreamers that think they're worth a premium.Still a good car and I have nothing against them just saying it how it is.

surely if you want top money for a top car why the hell would you advertise it on Gumtree for all the muggles to waste your time
£20k car = premium Auto Trader Pistoheads advert

I doubt it, as in the future it will only be true enthusiasts that are interested in these cars and they will know the Type R was the original and best. The only reasons the price of P1's held high was dealer support for UK car and insurance for imports being expensive as well as a lot of people not knowing about the Type R, but once they became 10yrs old and no import duty more people got to know about them and availability increased the price of P1's fell to it's true worth. in fact they are quite often less than Type R's these days and can be had for £4k.

They are both good cars and best looking out of all the impreza range, I was tempted towards the type r but in the end I bought a p1 with I might say rear wiper but not with adjustable diff but then I don't think I would use it I would probably end up breaking it, the price you ask for your car is never going to be the price someone will pay am a **** when it comes to buying cars always looking for the best price but 20k is a bitty far fetched
