That one was posted up the other day. IIRC he bought it for 30k and is now trying to turn a quick 8k profit.

very nice car ! But not alot of desription for a 40k car , you would want to know a few things about its life if you were spending that kind of money.

The guy obviously has no idea how to advertise. 2 pictures and about 20 words, nobody in their right mind would buy a £40K Impreza from a seller who advertises like this.

Only 5k on it though. It's on Pistonheads aswell. Needs to be nearer 30k though or just under.

Personally I think £40K is about right. These were built in limited numbers and are recognized as the greatest ever Impreza. It's an icon, a car that every Subaru fan dreams of ( not everybody will admit it though ), a car that will only increase in value.
This car really must be the best one available, 5000 miles from new and in completely original condition.
I recently heard of an Intergrale selling for £50K with sub 10,000 miles on the clock.
A collector somewhere will buy that car I'm sure of it.

Would be a nice addition to the Bonkers collection, you would have to be Bonkers to pay that, 5000 miles or not.

Someone should ask the question how it increased in value of £8k in just a matter of weeks.

Find another one with 5000 miles on the clock. Simple as that really.

Suppose you could say that with a lot off cars take for instance the focus rs500 and what folk are paying for them compared to what they were originally bought by the lucky few for !!

the 22b although overpriced is unique in that in my view it must be the lowest mileage one left and with that you can surely name your price ??!! if folk will pay this amount is a different story, but then again its a specialised market and am sure somone rich enough who wants it for there car collection wont mind paying top money.

But can you buy it now for that price? Or is there another 1 with the same miles to compare?

It's worth what someone will pay!

Can you check it's price in the Parkers guide?

Agree. Most I have seen are around 18-23. This guy is a "bit" optimistic. They are highly sought after but anything over 25k is over priced imo.

its a litlle over priced around 30k is about right due to the low millage it has........

the only way it would fetch near what he wanted is if it was one of the ubber rare uk stamped 22B's where only 13 or 14 were stamped if I remember rightly


Quick Reply: 22b on ebay - nice but how much ??!!
