But i'm expecting more info next week, as i think manufacturers are keeping quiet until after Japanese fiscal year finishes before releasing detailed info on the effect of the quake/tsunami and rolling lackouts.
thats for nissans though, not subaru.

i'm talking about the market in general, the only dealer who has really lost out this year is Toyota who have dropped 2% in market share...

I'll have a look at the sales details at work tomorrow, i think Subaru sales are up.

I bought my rex a couple weeks ago from the seller one week after he placed the ad. Before this i was looking for over a year.

Was looking for a either a bugeye sti or peanut eye sti.

With the exception of maybe 2 good examples (which i didn't buy because i didn't have the funds at the exact time), most cars i saw were either over priced, highly modded, or high kms....sometimes a combination of all three....

I think bottom line is that prices are too high....at least that was my experience when looking....

Although having said that....as soon as i got my car i noticed a couple of really good cars turn up....

Such as Luigis.....

Why didnt you put it up for sale 2 weeks earlier!!!! You got all the mods i want too....

I think its due to the fact that early models are so cheap now, and as they are usually regarded as the classic, favourite wrx, most buyers cannot justify spending 2 to 3 times more money on what is fundamentally the same car.

Further to this, I think that these cars are not worth as much as they used to be, as there are more around etc...some people have realised this, some have not I guess

To be fair, Impreza set a new record in January, and Forester rules the SUV market, as it has for years.
But I don't see the new WRX moving quite like I thought it would. Which is the point I was making.

There was nothing really like the WRX when it came out, not ADM anyway. Now there's a variety of grey imports it has to compete with.

There is nothing on the market that is mid sized, 4wd, turbo for 45k.
