Dealer has written to me to offer me a brand new WRX for 17.5k for a limited time.

Got me thinking of changing my 99uk wagon. My car is low mileage, with a few mods, making a nice 251bhp at PS.

Drove an elise 160 sport for the morning last week, loved it but not for me. was quite quick tho.

Any suggestions as what to get? got to be quicker than my current car and as new.

Cheers

Rottie

17.5K is not the whole story though. If it was me I would want/need a PPP, maybe a decat dp, filter, lowering springs, lights, spoiler, wheels, guages. Maybe get you back to 250 on PS rollers but still with a heavier car. When you total that little lot up its not a small sum .

How about an Audi S8 or old shape 7 Series? They's already taking the big hit of depreciation in the first couple of years?

How about my Rover 416 sli. I'd let you have for £1500. Think of the spare cash you'd have leftover.
