blimey, although i do think its a crime not to drive a car like this.

Its like all those people who by supercars then never use them, cars like that are begging out to be driven.

I can understand that its done for investment purposes but it just seems like such a waste of car

Good car for someone. Seen a couple of 22B's with less though. Be a good base car to start on for show and shine

That would be fantastic if it were a Terzo or a Catalunya, but a Green one FFS? Apologies to Green owners, but ...........why?

Obviously to embarrassed to be seen in it. The owner probably only drove it under the cover of darkness!

I'm so funny.....i made that up all on my own

You wonder with those sorts of cars as to what the history is. Maybe the owner died and the wife has only just decided to get rid of it.

Otherwise what a waste of a perfectly good Scoob. These cars should be driven, not kept under wraps and taken out for birthdays etc. only. I could see the investment possibilities if it were a special edition but an bog standard Classic

Still think £6.5k is a lot for a 10-11 year old car, low mileage or not. May take a while to shift.

I think someone would snap it up if it wasn't green, no offence to green owners but it makes me laugh the colours that Subaru thought we'd like. Dark green, silver and dark blue ffs! They must have pictured us all in tweed, hunters on, gun dog by our side eyeing up the Subaru brochure.. "spiffing Elizabeth, mica green will match our hunters"

Couldn't believe my luck when I found my old my00 turbo in sonic blue.. European import!

I meant why would anyone keep a green one like this, when its probably the least desireable colour. Did you see me suggest that a silver one would be better? nope. I suggested a Terzo (blue) and Catalunya (black)

That is a lot of car for 6.5k

Better value then a hard driven thrashed and abused newer modle
Defently a car to buy and bubble wrap for the future

And green with gold wheels was best colour to buy

The garage looks a bit, meh, no mention of a service/MOT history, electronic clocking FTW ?

well i dont care what anyone says if i had a spare 6500 and a spare garage id have it, gotta be an investment. If you could keep the mileage that low for 10years its gotta be 10k worth, hasnt it?

Yeah, I'm with you (despite not being a green fan). You could probably get it for £6k, pretty cheap when you consider it's going to be like a new car. Look at what you get for £6k, suspect (import) mileage type r, ropey bugeye with high miles. I'm actually a little surprised a dealer didn't try and pitch it at a higher price.

I thought our MY00 UK turbo was low mileage (46k) but it's an old timer in comparison.

If a car like that in White or sonic blue (eu import) came up for sale for at sort of money I'd be on the phone (if I was financially in a position to do so)
