I considered getting that very P1 before deciding on getting my WRX 'Blobeye'
I just prefer the newage look.

Tempting, but i'm loving it too much

Good luck with the hunt, no chance of getting your bug back for old time sake?

With the P1, I personally, would avoid the high mileage even though it's had a rebuild, your choice though

Thumbs up

As an indication - my P1 is Sept 2000, owned by me from new, 42K miles, cost £31K. Value now circa dunno but guessing around £14Kish or approx 45% of original value -- not too shabby for a 5.5 year old car...

Even including tek 3 and Alcon big brakes at around £2K additional cost still gives 42%+ residual.

Done well so far, but harder question is from now on.

I think a P1 will hold it's value better as it's a special edition.

That is a different proposition - a different car to drive - certainly doesn't do everything for you like an EVO, but very rewarding to drive when you get it right (but not if you get it wrong :shock: ) More hardcore than a P1, but would be my choice (especially with the low miles and much rarer in the UK - prob about 10 max - referring to the Ltd models here - my mistake - will be lots more non Ltd version 6 Type Rs).

I would prefer the P1 over the bugeye - as I used to own one for 2 years.

Just on resale value alone though, I would think they are pretty evenly matched - maybe the P1 will edge it - but only a couple of hundred quid in it IMHO after 12 months.

Out of all 3 I'd take the Type R at the right price and colour - you can't beat Sonic Blue on a classic.
