My mate just picked one of them up Charles serious weaponI've done the big barges when I lived abroad...
Roads where I live really not suited to them, and nothing comes close to an STI for where I live now.
Another thing... don't think that a big German barge, albeit with plenty power, would get under your skin as much as a Scooby does.
The one Beemer that did get under my skin was a 1999 Z3 M Coupe (M3 engine Z3 with fixed metal roof) a friend owned... savage car with a heart and wouldn't mind one of them in the stable.
I hear you about 17k being ok in today's Irish market - especial if you hold up against the market over the past few years... however, if you cannot replace it at or near that money then what's the point of selling unless you no longer want to own one (ever)?
