totally agree the price is far to much for a car thats nearly 4 years old
nearly 13000 miles on the clock and is about to explode at any time

its not worth the worry

wonder what the trade in was probably £11.345 which is what my08
is worth at we buy any vehicle just checked 2 mins ago

mmmm looks like i will be keeping mine forever as i cant see me getting a better car without adding 10-12k to it

 

looking good! anyways good luck with the sale it is defo a great bargin, had i not just poored henus amounts of money into building my own hatch i would have been buying this straight off you!!

 

i've seen a few go on piston heads for £13-14k.

 

At that money best to just hang onto them. As said you would struggle to get a replacement that offers the same performance and value for money.

 

its costing me just under £800 a month to run the car

i've tried to keep car after loosing approx £500 a month out of my wages

 

Wow £800 a month is a mortgage. Is that finance repayments insurance and fuel combined?

 

There comes a time when you realise that its no longer worth it (when retired).

I see your point RB5 286. Its an expensive game running a Scooby, which is why we've decided to quit. Hope things get back to normal for you soon.

 

Modding any car is generally an expensive hobby. If modding is your thing then i reckon its in your blood and the chances are you will sell the scoob then start again on something else.

I don't find my car to be that expensive to run. Yes fuel is an issue, as is insurance, but if you want something with a bit of poke, then fuel / insurance is likely to always be a problem.

This said if a car is costing £800 per month then i would be having a re-think (pretty quick)

 

hit the nail on the head juggers

the mortgage is 900 lol


I would have been fine but for this drop in wages plus we want to move so somethings gotta give as I will be trebling my journey disctance too.

 

all wired up tonight,

now all that's left to do is re fit back in place




flame suit on

 

You just cant keep away from the shiny lights can you, do you accessorise your clothes with LEDS to?

 

Just added a carbon dash pod to the R205 looks smart more pics on link below.

thats nice

 

Hmmh... that sounds much more reasonable.

Carl Davey - here I come man

Cheers Guys

 

Let me know how you get on fella as I still have mine.

Immy

 

Nice Juggers, but i might be a little biased

 

Great peace of kit Paul can't wait to get more stuff of you!!!

 

I managed to get the car out the garage on the drive to take some pix of my DRL mod....
here you go... I'm well pleased

 

Hi, thought I'd pop on and post a final posts.

Mine went last month for £15500 - as most will know the spec of mine was quite special (especially the engine and seats) so I think that there is no way that any hatch will be sold privately for more than £16k.

Bossman, wish you best mate and hope you get a decent price, but it's unlikely in my opinion to get anywhere near £18k, lovely though it is.

Unless you're minted, these cars are just too pricey to run these day (I'm running a Citroen Picasso now - yikes - slow but 60mpg works well lol).

 

Actually think this looks pretty good

Loads better than every chaved up, saxo, corsa, mondeo... to name a few that i've seen.
Even the more expensive brands, like Audi & Porsche look pretty woeful with the LED running lights!
The Citroen ones are blinding actually

 

cheers,

I've possitioned them so that if you were standing nearer the car.. you don't get dazzeled.
as they are not over bright LEDs they don't over power the the other lights on the car,

with the 9x5050SMD side lights on..


side lights, Fogs and DRLs


side, fog, dipped main and DRL



reading the law on DRLs, you can retro fit.

DRLs that are too bright need to either to turn off or Dim when you turn the head lights on.

As these are retro fit and not over bright I wouldn't need to turn them off or need to be dimmed.

Trouble is, how many cars are now driving with FOG lights (+the side lights) on, thinking they can get away with them as DRL.
DRLs don't need to have any other head light, side light on to work.

Whereas, Fog lights only come on with other lights... Side light and head light. Ie: you can't turn th Fog lights on on their own.

 

nice to see SN are using the Hatch picture for the xmas logo again this year

 

Managed to get approx. £17.5k for my 09STi in May this year when things weren't as bad as now, but it did have some mods (Miltek, Litchfield handling mods & GT1's) & the only way I got that much was to trade it for a new Legacy (with a decent discount tbh from M Kar in Rochdale). Ford & VW wouldn't touch it, and Mazda & Skoda gave sobering trade in values. I would've preferred a Passat estate, but cut my losses with the Legacy.

Still miss it though - came across Rocket Launchers today & was v jealous & regret selling mine - I wish I'd dug deep & stayed in for the long term. I'll never be able to justify going back to a hatch but it was by far the best lbft for £ I've ever had.

 

Still Using mine as a daily driver, covered 54k now

imprezzas are good to look at and for acceleration
