Funny, the garage queen thing happened to my MX-5 and was the reason why I bought (am buying) my STI. I was driving my MX-5 to and from work (in HEAVY traffic) and parking it on the weekends since I was with my wife and/or kid. I figured what's the point when I barely drive the MX-5 like it was intended. With the STI as my only car, I get to stretch it's legs a lot more often than I did with my MX-5.

I didn't have the problem of having too many cars like the OP but I get where he's coming from re the car you want to drive being parked due to circumstances.

I think the 35k is a little high, especially considering I don't think he even has the stock wheels for the buyer. Either way, I'm sure someone will buy it from him anyway.

Garage queen? I dont get it why you have to sell it.

My new Lexus IS250 was a garage queen for a year. Made only 4k miles in one year. I thought it was stupid for me to buy a new car not to drive it. So, I sold my daily driver just so I am FORCED to drive my Lexus. So now I drive it everyday rain or shine.

I don't get the reason why you have to sell it and get a spec B. Does notwant to sell it. make much sense. I think its an excuse to sell it or just hide the truth of why you dont want the car.

Doesnt make sense if it is a garage queen and he is going to sell it to get a Spec B to drive I think that the car is disappointing and that he just wants to cut his losses

Honestly... STI and Spec B isn't too different. STI you get alot more performance. The Spec B you get a little more luxury.

STI will make a more exciting daily driver! My friend bought a 08 Spec B instead of an STI and regrets not buying an STI.

I don't get how Subaru can call it a Spec B. The suspension setup is worst than my wife's Mazda 3 sport. Just drive it and you find the suspension way too soft and too much body roll for a sportier sedan.

I can't imagine buying a car that I wouldn't use.... my STI already has 700 miles on it, just bought it 3 weeks ago. It's a daily driver for work and moving equipment.
