Resale Outlook

Marque analyst note

The Subaru Impreza 22B STi sits at a median of £160,500 in the UK market, down 3.1 percent over the past year, though the BUY signal and bottomed-out status suggest current weakness may present entry opportunity rather than further decline.

The modest sample of four sales tracked over twelve months underscores the extreme scarcity of this market. With only 424 units produced globally, the 22B STi commands Holy Grail collectibility status, though moderate desirability and thin liquidity mean transactions are sparse and timing-dependent.

Cars transacting in this period average just under 26,700 miles, reflecting the investment-grade ownership typical of the segment. The low mileage norm speaks to how carefully these machines are stewarded once they reach collector hands.

The three-year projection suggests a base case decline to £152,045, a further 5.3 percent softening, while the five-year outlook points toward £149,454, or 6.9 percent below current levels. These modest downside forecasts, paired with medium confidence given the thin sample, indicate stabilization rather than sustained deterioration is the base expectation.

The absence of active listings at present and the scarcity fundamentals mean any realistic buyer should prepare for patient search and negotiation against a narrow pool of sellers. The 22B STi occupies a niche where rarity and collectibility are unquestioned, but near-term price support remains tenuous without stronger desirability momentum.
