I would personally keep it m8.Just cos theres a current dip in the Scooby market doesnt mean that its gonna stay this way does it?
Sounds like a pretty fantastic car.Then again,its down to what YOU want isnt it?
GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide to do anyway buddy and think about this.........Sell it this week,will you regret it next week?

As above, do you want to sell? Are you after something different? can you replace the fun factor with £8500 
Lots of things to think about but I know one thing you will regret it at first

if you have no real reason to sell it then if i were you i wouldn't. however if you definitely want to sell it then that is a good selling price for your car as that is slightly more than they are going for.

8.5 K I would say is reasonable; not great, not $hite. It's only a reasonable price if you want to sell.
Edit - Has it got DCCD? If not, snap his hand off.

Jon, Ive met you and seen the car and I say that you will not get a car which was looked after by the last owner better. Next time (yes there WILL be a next time, very soon) you buy an Impreza, chances are you will not be so spawny! Its a lovely car mate and you dont seem sure, I say keep it and forget the idea of a Land Rover. You would regret it!

Thanks Myles, Thats what the Mrs has been saying it has been an exceptional car and i love it too bits, i really am thinking about keeping it, i know your prob right, but it would be nice to free some money and get something a little cheaper, and we all know our imprezas are money pits!!! Thanks people, any more help would be great!!!

The only reason for the prices dropping is financial difficulty and needing quick sales , rising petrol prices won't help either , they aren't cheap to run and maintain , prices of these cars should stabilize when the economy hopefully gets back on its feet. Just my opinion . Oh and don't sell unless you want or have to
