I just cant make my mind up
ive test driven the STi7 and i just think its one of the best handling cars thats out there also ive been offered a good trade in on my car so im just have to decide should i or should i not sell my MY00 PPP'd car for one.....
Insurance is probably my only worry at the mo as its going to be a little more than what i pay now, last quote was 1600 quid fully comp so may have to shop around a little.....
HELP!!!!!!!!!

Tony,

I've got an MY99 and I think if someone offered me a decent trade-in or cash deal right now, I'd take it. I had the pleasure of a passeneger ride in a new Sti7 on Sunday, and was gob-smacked at what a well rounded car it is. Fast, great handling, yet without impairing comfort...

I agree your only real dilema is insurance but that's always going to be the case in NI, isn't it?

Go on, do it...

Tony do you mind me asking what sort of trade in value you got.

He didnt give me a trade in value but he knocked 1.5k off the prodrive version if i wanted one of those
As for high insurance, dont live in manchester doh!! but very tempted just got to see if ive got the cash lying around anywhere so i can put down a deposit and see how much the repayments are going to be.

Tony,
If you're going to trade it in, why not remove the PPP and sell it separately (to me) ?

Thumbs up

I haven't driven the new STI but if you liked the handling and the power, build quality and the comfort,(seating position etc) then why not? Don't worry about looks, even though I think they look great, performance cars don't need looks.

Cheers,

Wrexy.
