This is the best time to buy, and the worst time to sell..

Sounds like a decent deal mate!! Its about time you got your finger out and bought another Impreza.......

Ok then, I'll give you a break.. But I want to see you sorted out by the first meet of 2005!!

Watch yourself when you get back into an Impreza, the fact you positively used the words "Metro" and "Fast" in the same sentence is quite worrying...


Cheers,
Grant

Ive got the P1 wanted a second motor to drive so just brought a 2001 330D SPORT BMW saved about £2200 according to Glasses guide which i asked my local subaru dealer if i could use his Glasses guide to check prices on these. I waited till christmas as some private sellers are desperate to sell at silly prices wait till just after new year.
