[Clarkie172]

Hmm thats a tough one.....how about no?!

Not worth the hassle! trust me selling cars is Ghey!

 

[Andyvalver]

You dont personally like and cant insure it so id say no mate lol

 

[Craig]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yours is alot better.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

no way!

apparently scoobys cost loads to keep on the road

the problem with Scoobys you will find is that although it seems a bargain they aint worth spit when they are the dog slow UK versions. the market is flooded with Scoobys as is, so only the decent models will be getting looked at. for 6500 you can get a mint average to low mile UK spec, or you can get a top of the line import thats got a sh*t load more power and extras... it may sound a bargain, but seriously, try finding a buyer... you may get lucky tho?

if you end up having to keep it youll find that your 172 is prolly at least as fast.

this is true, but i loved my scoob and thought it was a better car than my clio.

I wouldnt swap in on the basis of making money. The margin is too small, by the time you advertise it and it will end up costing you money, i mean, you will drive it, fall in love with it and end up keeping it !

 

[Clarkie172]

its 285bhp. i deffo wouldnt want to keep it as i dont like the colour, just thinking of making some money on it, but as ppl say, i dont think its worth the hassle, plus the fact something could be wrong with it, where a si no mine is mint! think it was just another one of my crazy ideas! lol

 

[simon3wms]

its green,

bad move in subaru land,

stick with what youve got,

a green impreza is about as popular as a dose of clap

Si

 

[JJ!]

uk spec green subaru - NO NO NO!!

And scoobys are not that expensive to run BTW! well, that depends on how they have been treated in previous ownerships!

Mine was an import and was not costly at all to keep on the road.. until....

you really give it some!

IMO the ONLY scoobs worth having are: Type R, 22B, and P1, but im a fussy bugger because i only really like the 2 door ones!

I would imagine that whoever wants to swap their green Impreza for your 172 is looking to reduce their running cost - and considerably at that!

Theyd win with a swap like that.

 

[cat171]

i think you have anwered your own question Clarkie.
1, its green, which you said you dont like
2, the insurance will be loads
3, you dont like it.

er, no then

 

[msa197]

If you dont like it and its green whats the chance of you selling it on. If you dont your stuck with it.
