Well, i never thought this day would come, but i'm seriously considering selling the RA.
I've owned the car 5 years now, and have put lost of money into the car. But, it just doesn't get the use, having done 10k miles in 5 years. I am looking to get something smaller, better mpg, that my partner likes, but with a little bit of fun factor. I've been looking at the little Fiat 500 Abarth. I know it's miles behind the 350bhp/1100kg performance i'm used to, but thought it might still be fun.
I've not been on here much at all recently, another hobby has been taking my time. What am i realistically going to get for the RA in a private sale? See my garage for spec. I've spent a lot getting it to where it is, and part of the reason for selling is, if i don't, i'll start spending more on the next stage, namely 6 speed and turbo upgrade.
Anyone have experience with the abarth?

better off breaking, unfortunately

 

Selling a 350bhp WRX Type-RA to buy a FIAT 500 Abarth? Tim, you should put on a frock and call yourself Tilly.

 

Fiat 500 Arbarth, great as a girlfriend / wife's car.

Then you can borrow it without the embarrassment of driving a girls car.

 

Keep the RA for the weekend

 

im gonna have to get it out again



replace a scoob with a fiat 500, you'll want it in pink i bet,,,,,

lol

 

Tom what is wrong with you lol. Where u been

 

I guess i should have expected that response!
I do love the RA, it's been so reliable since the Api forged build, never letting me down. The main concern i have is when i sold my last impreza, it was 5 months until i had to buy another. I'll mull it over a bit more i think.

All **** taking aside, if you lasted 5 months last time you got rid, you will just do the same. If the mrs wants a more comfy car there's plenty of options, big German saloons are cheap as chips now and very comfy. Or can go other rout of a smaller sized car go day to day.

 

Good lad tim lol not Tom bloody I phone lol u will only regret

 

Pointless selling it due to lack of use at the moment, with the values on the floor the way they are. If you can store it inside, why not just take it off the road and get something to run around in that is still a bit fun as well?

You're bound to regret it big time by the sounds of it. Mine only does about 1,000 miles a year, but I still keep it, as I know I'd never forgive myself if I sold it. Even though it is "just" a quick wrx.
