Horrendus amount of dosh to drop that is mate.

I lost 3k in less than 18 months on a 96 UK turbo, Bought for 9k sold for 6k and i thought that was bad

U could always sell it privately and get an older UK turbo Maybe an R or S plate?

Mind u, if the likes of chimple (the guy in the red escort)attend the tour of Derbyshire again u have more than enough power there

Cheers

Chris

Don't forget that the 03 is reduced in price and that old 02 WRX's were 3 K lower. They will always play on that one.

My advice is shop around and play them off against each other, thats what I did. Mine was still a lot to change, but my 02 was new when I bought it, so always expected a big hit

Just been offered £7.5k on my Uk98 against WRX or STI. Thats an £8.5k adjustment in 3 years.

Now to try another dealer!

1996 Ford Probe 24V (list price 22,500) 1998 part-ex £8000 with 10K on the clock. Just glad I brought it from a superrmarket

The trouble is your sport cost 15K but 18 months a go you could get a euro import turbo for about the same amount about 15.5K. Not much consellation but there are plenty of second hand my01/02 wrx about.

I always buy my cars in either November or better December. Nothing is moving, people have christmas to worry about and dealers have to make end of year targets .
