Guys and Gals,

My STi7UK has just had it's 10k service and I got talking to a salesman - as you do! He offered me a deal of around £4k to trade up to a new STi8UK.

The question is shall I do it? Will the '8' depreciate slower than the '7'? Shall I just put a PPP on the '7' and enjoy it?

.....Time to ask the audience!

C'mon guys - does that trade in value sound about par for the course?

4k to change doesn't sound like a bad deal...

But what about when the 9 comes along?

If you're happy with the 7, sense would say to stick with it. Although, despite the protestations, I can see the bugeye not being terribly popular on the second hand market (sorry chaps)

£4k to change, I'd say do it. From some of the deals people have been getting on here yours is a winner.

Mind you the last time I did a deal like that they changed for £2k

Do it, sounds like others arnt getting anywhere near that, and I love the looks on the sti8.

Buy the PPP and forget the STI8!

Do you feel the need to keep up with the Jones's? You bought an STi7 hopefully because you liked it and now want to spend £4k for some new headlights! Keep the 7 and PPP it, don't be a sheep! All those that bought a 7 and are now panic selling it to fund an 8 make me laugh!

just wait til that US spec mother STi comes to the UK - IMHO, thats the only impreza realistically worth upgrading to...

Funny how an 2.0 STI PPP is 300bhp and a 2.5 STI is errr 300bhp as well . US emissions seems to be the cuase for the 2.5 litre. Wait for the 3.0 litre twin turbo

ChrisP,

I am waiting, nay gagging for it (the 3 litre that is)!

Enjoy your car with PPP for another 3 years. Sell it, order a new MY06 STI and be the first to enjoy the new Impreza. There will still be people wanting your motor and a lot of people not yet aware of the new model coming, so you can take the bus for a few months, waiting for the new wonder. And, depreciation would not be near the rate it is at for the moment.

I agree, put on the PPP and enjoy it for a while. Why change so soon? Within a year or so there will be another new model and another....

I think you should upgrade to an STI6 TypeR

go for the 8... Much nicer looking car and tell the dealer you'll do the deal @ £3.5k and see if he bites!
