Default Possibly going to move on.

I'm thinking it's time to move on my 1999 uk turbo sonic blue 'pride and joy'

Think she's gonna be around £4K. 300 bhp. Anti lag, launch control, vf30,Kevlar clutch,lightened fly.p1 alloys 17. 86 k miles.
Just gauging the interest really, I'm possibly looking to go 4 wheel drive for towing a car trailer or similar.

It is a great car! Mileage is in the blog 86k

I'd like to keep it as I've owned it twice lol, I had to buy it back after I sold it. Oh well live and learn. But I need to tow so I have to get a decent towing animal!

It might be worth getting a cheap run around that can tow

When I say cheap well you know

How weird that's about same mileage as mine. And as has been said keep it. Buy a cheap Impreza non turbo they great for pulling and worth nothing, you can pick up a low mile classic one for £500.

Do you have a garage for your Impreza?

As above. Get a cheap non turbo forester for towing and stick that in a nice dry garage. You'll only regret selling, it looks a lovely car and classics in that condition are starting to get rare.

Plus its just going to go up in price. So if you want one in future will cost you a lot more.

As said keep it locked away if you can. Loads of cheap towing cars about like vectra's.

I'll go against the general consensus and say now is as good a time as any to sell.

People seem to think that just because Imprezas (as well as just about ALL other performance/classic/exotic cars) have risen in value in the last few years these rises will continue at the same rate for ever and ever.

That's not how credit fuelled asset price bubbles actually work... especially when the credit dries up.

Move on mate... I have and don't regret it or miss my car at all really, certainly not the fuel bills and running costs... times change.

Onwards and upwards.

Why do bother coming on scoobynet then lol. I sold my WRX classic years ago and wish I hadn't, only regret selling that and my evolution coupe. They going up in price and super fun to drive. Impreza' are getting broken all the time, classic's are still being imported, but UK 2000 models are disappearing fast, all rotted away. So will become rarer than other import models.

Compare to trader and pistonheads and go from there, I'd say £5k tops.
