Divorce or shrink
Driving the car to do the weekly shop, the wife slips into a conversation about rugby, 'should we sell the car and get something more economical'
We've got a 2005 WRX, black, bog standard apart from the stereo, and the D2 coilover set, (which is still under the bed waiting to be installed).
She's got 71000km on the clock (the car not the wife) and has Subaru service history.
Now should i start divorce proceedings for suggesting such a thing, even my 7 year old daughter doesn't want to sell the 'Scooby' or do i see a head shrink for actually thinking about trade ins, replacements and Ford Focus Rs's
The scooby holds a high value in Finland, and i could probably get 24000€.
Currently i put 50€ of 98 fuel in every 6 days, this amount gets me roughly 360km. So fuel economy does suck, but we knew that when we bought it.
And i always said that we will not sell the Scoob if the price od petrol goes up as so many do that......
so Divorce or Shrink.....

Car's in Finland are ridiculously expensive, new or 2nd hand. i'd love to just come back to the UK, buy up some STi's with the mods and sell them here. that was my 1st åplan when we thought about moving back to the UK, both buy a scoob, and then when we move back to Finland. Sell em and be £'s in, literally.
The wife helps finance the running costs so binning her would cause other issues, ;-)

i wish i was.
some links, bbut all in Finnish;
Subaru Impreza WRX Porrasperä 2005 - Vaihtoauto - Nettiauto
brief: manual, petrol, 2005, driven 118500km. Well the other info is just standard, air con, etc.
Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX 4d (EC) Porrasperä 2005 - Vaihtoauto - Nettiauto
tuned a bit and made to look like an STi, 119000km and only asking 27900€
again usual jargon. waxed 3 times a year, sti spoiler, fog lamp covers, textile mats. roof spoiler, good stereo and Oz rims.
and that's just 2 examples from 1 website.

Just tell the wife that she'll do as she's bloody well told
Right then, so whats stopping you bringing over cars from the UK and selling them on
Do you have a high import tax like they have in southern Ireland(its called VRT there)?
Is there a demand for Subaru's in particular?
