Ebay Impreza

Parkers say's -

Subaru Impreza Saloon
Turbo 2000 4WD 4d 1998/S
Insurance Group 17 (get a quote)
Average mileage: 80,000 miles

Independent Dealer £ 4060

Maybe Parkers/Book Prices is a way for dealers to keep the market cheap for trade-ins so they can then sell the cars for bigger profit themselves on their own forecourt?

price for a 1999 T then, and a 2000 W, then work out the difference, then subtract it from the 1999 one and you'll get a rough 1998 S price

sort of

As with quite a few cars though, an Impreza can fetch more than its value. Especially if the mileage is low.
