does this sound right 25,000 for a 22b see link.

1998 S Reg SUBARU IMPREZA 22B WRC on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-Feb-08 14:27:51 GMT)

 

Strange how it was for sale on piston heads for 18k......
Subaru : 22B sti

 

worth trying the higher price on ebay though lol

 

Spot on!
Especially if you match the end time with 'pub closing time'.

 

lol, tbh i could see it going for more on ebay than piston heads anyway, just have to watch out for the nigerians that bid lol

 

Why on earth would you want to pay 25K or even the 18K for a 10 year old Jap car?

Firstly the interior will be ugly as hell & out dated.
Probably also be full of the 20+ dials the previous 3 owners have had fitted.

Seriously though.

Plus a new age car is going to be quicker, more refined, much more pleasant inside.

Cheaper to insure and run

 

you've never driven one have you urban,,, lol

 

+ there are plenty of newages about, not so many 22B's though

 

Alma road !!!!!

 

do you own a scoob or know anything about them??

 

With over 1300 posts id have hoped he would know what the 22b was all about..........

 

the 22b is the daddy and faster than any new age if i am right and looks better and only 400 made.

but still would not pay 25,000k for it maybe if it was around 14,000k

 

not the only one on the market for that sort of figure

 

somebody must have thought it was good,it says its sold via pistonheads.

 

Actually on my fifth one now

And based on that I'd like to think I know something about them

 

I know fine well what the 22b is all about thanks.

 

I'd really be inclined to double check you're information.

Spec C and variants for example

 

have you ever driven one, they drive quite a bit different due to wider track etc

 

Urban - are you saying you've owned 5 22B's since January 2005?

 

Yeah, only once though.
It was a jap version too, not UK.

Yes it was quick - but so it should have been because that was in 2000.

No way, that was in response to the following

Got ya

 

Auto Trader Dealer Pages - JCT Cars


Jct cars brought it for 18k and then put it up for sale for 25k!!! They trade/deal with alot of subaru's.

 

Yeh, and lookin at thier site, all their prices are over inflated....!!

 

well i know what one i would rather have.

so what scooby do you have then

 

do not use jct cars, ****e cars v expensive and his mechanic is the sub city bloke in rotherham, old chickenshed with an oily old man breaking subarus, there was a post on here not long ago on the third party query thingy i think??

 

OK, so you're saying you'd prefer the old knackered 22b?

Personally I'd be going for the new age car, with its refinements and substancially more advanced technology.

I currently have an MY05 STI.

Shaun

 

I would prefer the 22b over the MY05.
Stick your refinements where the sun don't shine

 

Fine.

 

22B would be my choice too, it is THE classic impreza that most of the Rally fans would want, and in my opinion, the only one that is likely to hold or increase its value in the future.......may not be the fastest any more but is the most desirable. The new age cars will never be worth the same money as a 22B at the same age.

 

I have a 420bhp o4 sti uk and would still have the 22b if i could.
