You'll be left feeling let down if you go ahead with the swap.

I'd have said yours is worth more TBH if it's in good condition because bugeye values are really poor at the moment and decent classics seem to be rising in value.

Personally I wouldn't swap a classic for a bugeye.

I wouldn't swap either but If it's comfort your searching for then the bug will be better.

Driven a bugeye wrx and I've driven a classic of that spec and I know which I'd rather drive bugeyes are more refined but compared to a decent classic they feel slow.

I went from Classic Wagon via a Newage Saloon to a Bug Wagon. Not a lot in the space stakes either.
