HAS ANYONE SEEN THE AMOUNT OF TYPE R BEING BROKE ?
now with all these shells available,,,, be honest who is tempted to reshell there motor into a type R
my car is practically in peices right now,,,,,,,,,, soo tempted to do this but im trying to get a bigger place with a garage( which ill need to store the shell lol)
its such a shame to break these cars up BUT,,,, for a grand you can convert your tired car into a 3 door
as harsh as it sounds hope its like this in around 6 months time as i think i might just have to do that

Handling wise, yes a newage is probably better than a standard classic, but how many standard classics are there. I can assure you that your newage won't handle any better than my old crusty classic.

the way i look at it is cossies went down stupid cheep as 2k back in 98 to 2000 and averaged 3k for a nice saph and 5k for a 3 door
NOW look at the price of rs500's, 3 doors ect even the price of RWD saphs, i paid 4500 for a 352bhp rwd cossie with quaife diff,,,, thats would fetch 7k min today if i still had it
as siad if i find a Type R that is very clean its a better investment for me to reshell AND it keeps another " dead" type R on the road too
im guessing the STI RA's are gonna be the rear rare ones soon though as they have alot of nice touches and values aint worth a ****

Some modified ones are, but most cars are ones that have had a minimal spend and people pressuming thier car is worth more, The type r shells are only selling for track cars? The type r only appeals to people who have owned an Impreza and wished they had bought a two door one, people who want an impreza don't care about them and just want the newest model.

A type r will always be quicker round the corners than a similar spec newage

harsh news is we need cars to be broken for our ones to live one but it is a shame to break up mint ones but they are now worth more in bits so breaking them is the next "business" for people to be doing

I would have loved to have found a type r shell and done what your planning but to find one at a good price was going to be even more expensive for my build anyway.

Sell or Break?
So I have a bit of a dilemma.
I've been looking at possibly selling my Type r to fund a new project.MY98 v4 virtually standard apart from Ohlins coilovers and 3"decat,good condition for year (a couple of car park dents,nothing major),89000km and still resricted to 112mph.
I would much rather sell as a whole as I don't really want to break what is essentially a good car but if the market is that bad then needs must.
What I'd like to know is :
a) How much could I realistically look at getting back if I was to choose either option?
b) A rough time scale of how long it would take to sell the parts if i broke it? (I appreciate this is a difficult one to answer)
many thanks
Mick
