OK, before the mods get twitchy, I have an ad in the PH pages and one on eBay, and this isn't going to be an advert (those with some nouse could trace through my profile to my PH ad anyway). But where else can I get sensible 'free' exposure for an advert for an Impreza?

I have tried on Scooby.net, but can't place an advert post for some reason and Google list PAGES of Scooby owners clubs. But I don't want to have to register for all of them.

Any pointers?

Would do that page but they seem to dislike any form of web based email, and I don't think work would appreciate my using their email address.

Try also Gumtree. I had several calls from that when I sold my last car.

Or don't be a tight bd and pay for Autotrader! It's still the first point of call for people when looking for cars.

I'd love to keep the car, honestly I would. But, having decided to get a second car, we then had to move house and the private road we're up is OK at the moment, but in the winter it's going to be a bugger to get up/down. Last winter we had 18" of snow, ice and -20C temperatures.

We have a Disco 4 for the main car and that'll cope no problem. But, there are bits of the track that occasionally scuff on the underbody panels (no damage I hasten to add) because of the typically-Scottish vegetation covered central ridge. I can just see that getting worse in the winter. I have to drop my daughter off at nursery each morning so I need a car that will deal with the conditions. It's a capable car and I love driving it, but I have to be realistic. In hindsight (which is always 20-20) I shouldhave put off the purchase until we'd been in the new house for a while, but on the firsts runs up / down it was all fine. All the neighbours have tractors and 4x4s, but we didn't know them before we purchased the house and the nearest neighbour is half a click away. I don't want to get stranded somewhere and I can't afford to tuck it away and buy a third car as the wife would kill me.

Was going to do just that, both Gumtree and Autotrader.

Done.

But damn, Autotrader costs £44 for 2 weeks.

Tuck it away and dont tell the wife, better still I'll look after it for you ;o)

Shame you have to get rid, you could try ebay, generates a lot of interest and is relativly cheap, there are genuine buyers on there looking for that kid of car, i know because i am one!

Honestly, not a lot (for that read not a nibble). May have to go trade-in at this rate.

its less a case of grip, and more a case of clearance issues.
