Gettit??

Well no actually, Mr. Assumption. It's happened before and I assist as best I can. Witnesses who use this site can verify if it winds you up that much.

Your point (if you have one) is unclear. Please be more specific, cos all I said was WR1's are ugly....how that has ANYTHING remotely to do with assisting people who've stalled/broke down is really quite beyond me.

If i see a copy i'll have a look. Still with the money i'm saving in insurance costs over an STi with PFF7's and a PPP there isn't a lot in it.

It's only trade in value that they are quoting...... sell private and you will not lose as much

Just check out dealer sites for three year old sti's... NOT one for £12500 in sight.

Auto express etc have blisters on their hands.

I think the analogy between your comment and the drivers I describe is quite clear.
To 'launch' that the WR1 is 'ugly', which is subjective in the extreme, into a thread is, IMO at least, about as helpful as those drivers are to us all.

Regards, Mr Assumption

I've got a 'pretty' STi that I would be prepared to swap for one of those 'ugly' WR1's, as a charitable gesture of course

I think the point that Auto Express 'may' be incorrect in their predictions is the pertinent one. After all, current used WR1's are selling at dealers for >£30k at the moment!

When's the depreciation going to kick in so I can get one?

As for them being ugly, everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion. But I think you'll be in the minority...

scoobs cost money i had my classic for 12 months and after selling it cost me £200 per month i then had a 03 sti ppp for 10 months and after selling it cost £350 per month,now gone back to a 6 year old e36 m3 evo and it costs half as much and is twice the car imo but pleased i didnt pay the 45 grand price it was new as that would have cost more than either of the two scoobs,dont know what sort of point im making there lol but thats just what happened to me and hope its helpfull to someone.

that's odd because they are available from < 28K on the subaru approved cars locator.
