How much ?

ricardo

Don't forget to make it a kind of 'time capsule'. A few copies of EVO and other mags, last weeks Sunday Times with the stuff about road charging, maybe a DVD player and some Scooby Shootout DVD's (won't be able to find anything to play them on in 15 years)...

Then in 2020 can open it up, get it started and get arrested for not having a nanny chip installed in it !

a VERY GOOD price to you

I am not bias either, but I agree one of Subaru's finest...

I owned an 02STi with the PPP and drove that for 24k miles but then was tempted by the looks of the 22B and thought I had to try one even though it is now an old car.

However I am glad I did, I am delighted with the car. It seems to me that Subaru broke the mold with the 22B, I think it is very superior in terms of its wieght, balance and performance and as for looks well, quite stunning.

However I have brought mine to enjoy everyday and thats exactly what I am going to do. It is too good not to drive.

I drive a lot of other cars but I am always pleased to jump back into it, it is just so easy to drive and so "sure" footed.

Today I drove the new BMW M5 for about 30 odd miles on some fast A and B roads and you know what - it did come close to the 22B - I thought its delivery was ponderous and its handling was in no way as crisp.

Just my thoughts on one of the greatest Scoobys. 325/400

Phew!

R.B

Have you brought a yellow sti type r yet ?

I do agree with some of you here but if i dont use the 22b i might aswell do what im doing with it and then in 15-years or so it will be the only 1 of about 10 thats left in the country

P.S To busy with the trackcar having fun

TBH, i see your point about storeing this car, but this awsome car just begs to be shown off at every given opportunity, just wish i had 22b i could store away and not bother with

DON'T DO IT SHE IS WAY TOO NICE TO BE LEFT JACKED UP, LOCKED UP AND OUT OF SIGHT FROM ALL THE SUBARU ENTHUSIASTS.

imoa

JRS

i MIGHT swap the E30 M3 for a yellow sti type r

Absolutely stunning 22B. Makes you wonder how you get from that to the '06 car. Nevertheless it seems extreme to lock it away for so long. I don't know if it will ever be worth as much as say a minto original e-type jag kept locked away from 60's/70s. Could be good for film work and the like.

Wonder how may petrol stations will be selling just gas by then.....

Seems odd - what if you get run over by a bus in 14 years time??

or more likely the world has moved on so much and pollution/congestion so bad that cars like this are no longer legal to drive??

You could be missing out on the best years of your life with this beast!!

R.B

IF is a big word my friend and if i get killed in 14 years time my little boy will have a very nice car indeed and i will have done thousands of laps around donnington park in my trackcar where you can drive an impreza as it should be.

I wont be missing the best years of my life believe me

R.B

LUCKO

iTrader: (3)

i'll pop round when i win the lottery and offer you 75k, you may want to bring it out of storage then??

papascooby

ur boy'll be picked on for not having a flying car like the rest of his mates Skylanes in place within 5 years and already 2 sub £100000 personal flying vehicles that are safe, quiet and do more mpg than the 22b

in a way i think you're mad!! these cars need to be driven that's why they're made. but on the other hand i can see the logic, it's a good investment and as people have said, how many will you see in years to come?!?!?!?

coulty

You must be mad!!! Cars are there to be driven. Imagine you took it out of hibernation after 15 years and then some plonker drives into you!! Not trying to be nasty but that would suck big time!

minty

iTrader: (1)

That is a stunning example...... WOW.

Fair play to you for storing it, iv'e gota few match box cars liek that i have kept pristine reminds me i might get them out again.

lenny b

Can't fault ya m8, she a beaut.If i had a garage id stick mi mcrae for my little lad.How many 22b's left know,never 5,10,15 yrs time.

Patriot

Course he's mad....only a numpty could think a car like an impreza would be worth **** all in 15yrs time, not exactly a ferrari or a lambo is it, and if I wanted an investment for my kids I would be looking at bricks and mortar or a few kilos of gold... in 15yrs time the increase in the value would be something to smile about.
So many things to look at to invest in, even Isa's ffs would probably have a better return than a car.
Jeez, money and sense springs to mind here and look at my other car I can play with....expletive.

Schumacher

That is one VERY nice 22B.

R.B

Its not an investment for my boy read from the start and put all your handbags down boys

Scoobynet just gets worse and worse has the years go on

But what ever i do with it,it will always be mine

R.B

Danny B

just out of curiosity, how much in it's current state is yor 22b worth right now?
If in say 10yrs time I was offered a 1998 22b for say £25k or a brand new MY15 STi for £30k I'm afraid I would go for the modern day car.
half the Chavs in 2015 wouldn't have a clue what a 22b is let alone now in 2005
If you don't drive the car why don't you sell it and let someone else enjoy it ?

R.B

My car is worth as much as someone will pay for it like everything else in life.


I suppose you dont know for example an Rs2000 / mexico / Rs1600 / is then and there over 30-years old now and still worth alot to people and money dont even come into it.

I know i would love one of the above and guess what the best are the ones that have been stored ?

R.B

scooby-si

but RB already has all these

scooby-si

doesnt it just

Danny B

That is my point, if I was stuck behind a 30yr old Rs2000 I wouldn't have a clue.
Each to their own, enjoy your car, it looks a beauty

JRS

if you guys saw some of the classic/historic motors next door to where i work

you would see where RB is coming from

its not about the money its about having something a bit SPECIAL in years

to come

i WISH i could find my Dads old morris 8 somewhere in AWSOME condition

BTW the no plate on it was PKJ 555

+Doc+

I can see the senario now, after 15 years of storage in that loverly blue bubble you drive her out onto the A610, from the skies an uninsured illegal immagrant in his eco friendly gas powered hover-car takes your front end completely off, I`m sure Subaru will not have those parts lying around! How much is a wing 2k?
Drive it / sell it but dont hide her away ffs lifes too short.

Colinj

could be dead in 15yrs time....enjoy it now IMO!!!! :|
