Seasons greetings all

I'm going to view another car at a main dealers tomorrow

and just wondered(read worried)as to what the value of my much loved Burnsmobile's might be?..p/x or private?

It's had 3 owners,done 33.5k and has a full MD service history,just had the 60k done!!

(original WRSport No 378 btw and was completely std when I bought it last Feb)









I think most of the extras can be seen in the pics,apart from the Godspeed brakes,the K+N and full de-cat,none of which will add to its trade in value I know...so,any(sensible)suggestions are welcome

Thanks,Jon

 

Not sure of the value, but it such a lovely car that I hope whatever you are going to be looking at at the dealer is worth it!!

they will only pay you what your car is worth on the glass's guide so have a check with online guides im sure youll only be dissapointed

 

I know this is completely off topic and in the wrong section, but i spotted you in Whiteley tesco's a few weeks back, very nice motor, lovely sound. I was in a silver 03 parked the other side of the car park so i doubt you would have seen me!

Neil.

 

what mods can i blag off ya elmer?


top for a stunnin lookin mota

 

Glass' Guide, OK not an RB5, option wasnt there but will give u some idea....

 

I got offered £10,500 trade-in on mine with 57,000 miles

 

I`ll give you 10k for it!
Doc

 

Elmer, m8!! What are you doing?!!!

 

Afternoon all

Right,well that was a complete waste of time.

The black UK Evo that I went to see turned out to be a silver import

so i didn't get as far as any trade-in deals.The enemy will just have to wait a 'lil bit longer until I join their rankslol

Ironically on my way home I was followed by another RB5
and decided that I'd keep mine for a while.....then nearer home I saw someone pass me in a Terzo,fog lights on,driving like his hair was on fire:O...

I just think that classic Imprezas are rapidly gaining a bit of a bad image at the moment

Jon

 

IMO, even if you were to strip the wheels, brakes, lights, gauges etc etc and sell em all privately, you should still get £10k+ from an IM dealer.

Thats what I did anyway!

 

If he doesn't offer you £10k+ tell the greedy ****** to ram it, your car is mint and worth every penny m8!!!

lush car i'd have this if i did'nt have my MY03WRX unless instead of joining the darkside u want mine = yours plus cash.My pic's are under my name.

 

What wheels are those, i've seen them posted on a couple of classics, look decent.

Elmer, i am disgusted to see u r even contemplating on getting rid of this fine example of an Impreza

 

Theres an RB5 in the auto trader for £10995

http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW...00349121978035

 

Don't worry Mark,it ain't going nowherenot for £10.5k anyway

YFM,There was one in my local autotrader last week for £14.500,which was kind of what got me thinking.

guess,I set my sights a bit too high then

thanks for all the replies as well everyone(the wheels are 18''speedline Turini's from TSL btw)

hello mate,

r u in a rush to sell???gotta sell my ctr first but am seriously interested

 

elmer
That is a stunning looking scoob.Nice 1

 

Elmer Fudpucker,

Your RB5 Looks asolutly awesome mate, its almost identical to mine (cosmetic mods apart from the wheels). What i was wondering is where you got those blue/grey RB5 stickers from ? They look really cool and suit the colour of the car a lot better.

Keep the car mate

Andy

 

Andy

Would hazard a guess that Elmer got the Stickers from Mark ( RB5286) Top sticker man

Tiny...

Elmer dont do it!!!!!!!

 

yep tis true, stickers r courtesy of the RB5 Club

 

...and most excellent they are too

mine are silver on blue,but I think the other guys have gone for blue over silver

 

Elmer,

where did u get the mud flaps from...I am looking but cant find anything as good as urs?

Please advise.....

p.s DON'T SELL THE CAR!!! Its awesome....IF...thats a BIG IF u do sell...then dont sel 4 anything less than £13.5K min.

elmer made the flaps himself

 

ELMER....

Fancy makin another set? and how much would you charge....they are to fit a MY98 Classic UK Turbo with PPP

 

£13.5K is having a laugh isnt it,its a nice looking car but its on a 'T'plate which is getting old now.

I traded my RB5 WR when it was 12 months old with 10k on the clock and got £18K at the MD,now you lot are saying its still worth £13.k is laughable and with 33k on the clock.

You are better off selling privately than trading, i've seen 03 Wrx's with less than 6k going for £16k so expecting £13-£14k for yours at a MD isnt going to happen.

Zippy

 

zippy,I don't think that anyone was suggesting that a Main Dealer would offer that much,but thanks anyway

Are you saying that you lost £9k in 12 months of ownership?
list price for a new WR sport was £27k!

I have a receipt for my car,where,at two years old it was sold for £22k.

aceman,YHM,on how to make your own flaps

 

Zippy,

The prices quoted are hopefully 2 encourage ELMER NOT 2 SELL. Make it a monster project - 500Bhp+, etc etc...ready it for whoopin the new M5 into touch lol as well as the porsches etc etc...u get the message

Elmer please ignore my ignorance but what is "YHM" short for:-)

 

Nah, sell it to me next year
