Looking at buying an rb320 are they that much better than a hawkkeye STI?

Also is it a classic impreza like 22b and p1 and will retain it's value?

Yes, and does it matter? They look fab and are close to being my favourite Scooby.
The top of the range specials are always the best bet.

 

I think they will always hold their value over a standard black 07 hawkeye, there was only 320 made.

Make sure you get one with the full leather seats, the blue alcantara interior doesnt look half as good.

 

The one I'm looking at has the leather it got 29000 miles and priced at £17995.

 

18K I'd be looking for a Hawkeye Spec C.

Just so long as you can live without the toys

 

You still get all your creature comforts in a spec c i.e climate control some come with satnav and you can always put leathers in yourself.

If you've got 18k I'd be hanging on for a spec c.

 

Depends on what you are after, the rb320 is a fine example of the impreza. It will hold its value as did the p1 as its a limited run and a uk car which a lot of people are after. It all depends if you are willing to pay the extra for a limited number and a plaque. You can pick up a black uk sti for as little as 12k so you have to work out if the rb320 is worth the extra money to you, or pick up the sti and mod it with the difference ;-)

 

I'd rather have a more exclusive SpecD and have money to spend

RB320's are nice but I think the link with Richard Burns is tenuous at best.

Bit like the Fiat 500 Schumacher Edition

 

I agree that they will hold a bit more money than a standard uk sti but i don't believe they will ever be a classic like a 22B or red Makinen edition.

I went for a spec c because they are just as rare as a RB320 but a better drivers car, plus i was never a Richard Burns fan

 

Good luck sourcing a 22B, i'd go for the Spec C for value for money

WTF ? Talk to frank mate.

For sale?!!! You genuinely couldn't give that away! There's no way on earth I'd drive that or even allow it to be parked outside my house

 

I take it you have one well done

 

My avi may have given it away Enjoy ya spec D mate

 

Picture was too small mate, could well have been a wannabee RB320, glad to hear it's the real deal

 

**** me a post without 'Spec C' in it well done

 

might be a limited edition but my money would be on a jdm sti or spec c probably rarer and defo a better car. i would go sti rather than spec c as i like the extras on them but everyones opinions differ

 

Sure would be boring if we all liked the same thing.

 

spec c all the way but i think the jdm sti with the extras is a bit more desireable for me than an rb320 but they do look sweet. and 5k+ cheaper, that buys a lot of mods. then theres the type 20 and 25 from litchfield.

 

Just for you am going to go back and edit

 

RB 320 for me!
Love them, great suspension set up with them standard no need to mod!

 

Type 25 All-Day-Long!!!

 

You will be lucky to get a hawkeye type 25 for 18k pal, would of thought more like 25k

 

That's awful. Why do people do this

 

Sod the type 25, just go for a type 20 hawkeye, oh is there not one for sale in the for sale section?

Shall we all chip in, buy it and park it outside Paulo's house?!
