Just doesn't look right to me - very expensive there as well. We live not far from there and they seem to be overpriced in general. We went to look at a few P1's but never found a decent one. They all looked a little bit - well not right is all I can say.

Time to dig out myold thread about my experience with this garage.

https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...continues.html

Suffice to say if they had a 22b with an alleged 1k on the clock for £5k I wouldn't be interested. Amusing to see they still advertise 22b's they have as 'amazing' when they obviously aren't.

I bought my scoob from graham walker last year & i cant say anything about the place!
I bought a first class WRX from them, total straight & nothing dodgy about it at all last year & the sales staff couldnt do enough for me!
I also got it at a good price too & it was well worth coming down from scotland to veiw there motors!

Mind you cant speak for this 22B as ive not seen it!

Nice bunch of lads, not knocking them - We bought our Evo from them a few years ago and thats been fine - just seemed a bit expensive for what they were when we looked around a few weeks ago.

I say its had a hard life over this 12,000 miles

However having said that, no doubt some ***** will cough up the 33K for it.

They are essentially a posing machine for those who want top bragging rights at meets Performance wise there's little (if anything) to choose between a 22b and a typeR. I sold my 22b after a few months a bit disappointed with it. I don't think I'll get another one unless it's less than £6k

Why have a WR1 when my Impreza is half the price of one?

You're not paying for performance with a 22b it's like anything there will be those who want one whatever the money, would you pay 20000 (and the rest) for a mint old laborghini miura when you could get something a lot newer faster more reliable etc etc //// yep I would to it's nothing to do with performance ...

Sounds good: I'll cancel my new Passat order and take your mint Lamborghini Miura for 20,000 instead.

I know people don't buy it for performance. As I've said, they're bought for posing and bragging rights
