Driving the car to do the weekly shop, the wife slips into a conversation about rugby, 'should we sell the car and get something more economical'
We've got a 2005 WRX, black, bog standard apart from the stereo, and the D2 coilover set, (which is still under the bed waiting to be installed).
She's got 71000km on the clock (the car not the wife) and has Subaru service history.
Now should i start divorce proceedings for suggesting such a thing, even my 7 year old daughter doesn't want to sell the 'Scooby' or do i see a head shrink for actually thinking about trade ins, replacements and Ford Focus Rs's

The scooby holds a high value in Finland, and i could probably get 24000€.
Currently i put 50€ of 98 fuel in every 6 days, this amount gets me roughly 360km. So fuel economy does suck, but we knew that when we bought it.
And i always said that we will not sell the Scoob if the price od petrol goes up as so many do that......

so Divorce or Shrink.....

 

Pop up a picture of her indoors so we can make a more informed replay

 

hitman, lol, insurance pay out lol, newer faster bigger scooby

she does like to rag it on the motorway as well - the car

 

Your car is worth 24000 euro's in Finland

I might export mine there and sell it

Ps i would keep the car and bin the wife

 

Car's in Finland are ridiculously expensive, new or 2nd hand. i'd love to just come back to the UK, buy up some STi's with the mods and sell them here. that was my 1st åplan when we thought about moving back to the UK, both buy a scoob, and then when we move back to Finland. Sell em and be £'s in, literally.

The wife helps finance the running costs so binning her would cause other issues, ;-)

 

24,000 Euros for a 2005 WRX?!! That's like almost £22k!!!

Surely you're mistaken? Could pick up a nice hawkeye Spec C STI for that price

 

i wish i was.
some links, bbut all in Finnish;
Subaru Impreza WRX Porrasperä 2005 - Vaihtoauto - Nettiauto
brief: manual, petrol, 2005, driven 118500km. Well the other info is just standard, air con, etc.

Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX 4d (EC) Porrasperä 2005 - Vaihtoauto - Nettiauto
tuned a bit and made to look like an STi, 119000km and only asking 27900€
again usual jargon. waxed 3 times a year, sti spoiler, fog lamp covers, textile mats. roof spoiler, good stereo and Oz rims.

and that's just 2 examples from 1 website.

 

wow how much do 2001 wrxs go for might sell mine in finland

 

Just tell the wife that she'll do as she's bloody well told

Right then, so whats stopping you bringing over cars from the UK and selling them on
Do you have a high import tax like they have in southern Ireland(its called VRT there)?

Is there a demand for Subaru's in particular?
