All Impreza's are extremely hard to sell on at the moment it seems. With fuel costing over 1quid a litre for super, not many people are after a car which returns only 20 odd MPG!

Im assuming you are trying to sell your green one and having no luck?!!

I bought mine this year with 35k on clock,didn't particularly want a green one but the mileage was Important (had a DBM one before which I loved the colour of)


Went through a stage of "hate this colour", but put some discreet gold decals on and a front spoiler and now I think it's 100% Improved - love it now

I never used to be that keen on green (especially with gold wheels) but with black or anthracite wheels it totally transforms the car and they look really agressive. They are 2 round my area with dark wheels and i must say i rather like them. I dont mean to offend anyone its just my personal oppinion

i would love any colour at the moment aslong as its low miles and pampered. i dont think colour is an issue as there not loud colours anyway in the subaru range.

Back to your q, yes they probably are harder to sell given that it has never been a particular popular car, but if you like it go fo it , you may find a better deal on a green one than a WR blue or silver..

Green isnt a bad colour BUT if the number of people who dont like it heavily outweigh those who do you are severly reducing your market when it comes time to sell.

Cars in awful colours with reduced value from memory?

1. Yellow corrado
2. That horrible puke green coloured E46 M3

personly, i would have green over a silver one, you cay theres loads for sale, i reckon theres about 10 silver to every green one. alright, i dont think you get green JDM ones, but what does it matter.

The silver looks to bland, go buy a white one, i bought my first classic in white, didnt really like the colour, but the fact that it was very low milage, and immaculate overruled the desicion.

i liked the colour so much so that 6 months ago, i went and bought a white MY05 and couldnt really give a stuff about who likes it and who dislikes it...

i possibly think your line of thought should be the same., its your cash, go spend it...

anyway, have you not read in the Muppets forum, dont buy an impreza at all, there slow, chavs drive them and they have crap handeling, what do you want one of those for lol

I prefer it in green rather than blue. It doesn't matter to me how many different shades of blue there are, blue scoobs are common as dirt.

My car is metallic green. I bought it because I wanted an understated car, that didnt stand out too much. At the time every other car was rally Colin Mcrae blue.

I think your light green is a really nice refreshing change (no offence anyone) to all the blue and silver ones

Saw one like yours at a meet earlier this year and everyone passed comment on it (mostly good I may add)
