and everyone is forgetting 2 years of wear and and tear, 3 years of MOT free motoring, brand new tyres etc etc etc.
Probably not a deal I would do myself, but doesn't sound bad.

Never ever buy a brand new car unless you can afford to lose money, Impreza's are one of the worst depreciating cars that I have ever seen.
Once the 2.5 comes out, your 2005 model value will suffer as a consequence.

I think the main advantage of a 2.5 engine is torque, everything else around the car will remain the same, having said that all this is hearsay at the moment as know one knows if it is even being released in the UK yet.
If I were you I would sell your car privately and buy a Euro MY05 STi for another couple of grand instead of the £9.5k that you are thinking of spending.
Think about, NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS is a hell of a lot of money to spend just to have DCCD and bbs alloys.
But it's your money at the end of the day, do what ever makes you happy..

You should do whatever you want to do. Why justify it to sn? I think you have made up your mind with both the purchase of the car and colour. Whatever you choose, it'll be nice.
