Good explanation about the loan thing. Now that these cars are over 10 years old, hard to sell already. Same goes for my dream car, Impreza WRX STI Version 9. But recently, I'm seeing 2008 Version 10 model already selling at 90-110k. Tempting if can get loan for these cars.3-4 yrs ago, people were trying to sell maybe because it's nearing the 10th year hence worry will be more difficult to sell later if cannot offer loan anymore, so they try to sell while can still get loans for buyers. I remember that time there were a group of friends in the Evo FB club who within a space of 3-4 months all advertising their Evo 9 and 8MR on sale! Now that it's already over 10 yrs old, those who still have them probably are the more hardcore owners who really love it, hence not easily want to sell.
The first batch 1988 model will turn 30 next year. Modern classic already.VR4 from 1988 to 1992, mine 1991, anyway is 3rd owner from original Super Saloon....lol
