Dill_typeR

Normal type R's are 280ps which equates to 276BHP as standard. As far as i'm aware there were some special versions with 300PS too

how do i post pics guys so i can show you

10.5k is a good price for a mint one imo. Great cars

ruggy69

thx rb5 also got the chance of a evo 6 same price yes i know this is a subaru forum but i dont know much about both much difference in performance in the 2 ?

RB5_245

not really, evo has better brakes and sharper steering. Impreza is a bit lighter, and if the japanese racing drivers on best motoring are anything to go by the impreza will be slightly quicker on the track too

I prefer the impreza myself, but it's personal opinion.

<cue flaming from all the scooby owning impreza haters on here!?!?!>

yeh just got the chance of a white lovely looking type r

or a evo 6 god i feel like

any idea what the depreciation is like on both cars ?

i only want to keep for 18 months so dont want to lose a fortune

but must admit the type r does look plus it does make a lovely sound

RB5_245

white is my fav for a type r

I think they'll be very similar for depreciation, neither will loose much if in good condition.

Hard to speculate, if anything I'd sy evo would loose more as the type r is very rare, particularly a clean one and even more so if std.

Just take into account the lack of abs on the sti type r............it may not bother you.

Does,nt bother me

hi - just bought a black v6 type r yesterday with 60000 miles for £9995, but they gave me £2k for a 10 year old alfa 145 2l c/l, so £8k to change.

car is fantastic -I have had a couple of p1s and a couple of evos and this is right up there with them.

sounds a good choice

looked at yours i think last week, but i was really after eithe blue or grey - so ended up with black!!

Aye im lookin for one too like, they do seem like beautiful cars, you reckon they willl depreciate in a year or will they hold their coinage?

ruggy69

Hi that was also my concern from what i have read the type r holds the price well
I myself would only keep it 2 years then sell if i got 8k in 2 years time i would be a happy chappy

LUCKO
