Have just had a Subaru dealership place a value on a low mileage 98R Terzo in excellent condition with a few mods.

They told me it was worth £5500! They say it won't even reach book price unless it is completely standard!!! A loss of £2K on what they say it books at unless its returned to standard!!!

Anyone else experienced this?

 

Nope.. but not surprised in the slightest

 

Just got a shade under £9.1K private sale. Bye bye, baby...

 

When I bought my Scooby I asked about PX of my 95 RS2000. Dealer listed bottom book because the car was modded and he didn't want it. Only light engine mods, body work was standard. Said book was £2750. I sold it private for £4250 (advertised for £4500). Car was great condition with full history, 49000 miles, never been crashed or painted.

I know the dealer has to make a living but this was taking the p155.

 

Im afraid dealer will not be intrested in a modded car whatever make , standard or be prepared for pain , even privately may take time to sell ,

 

Unless its got a ppp then there at 1k to the price

 

I'm not convinced with this argument at all.

If they get the chance they will try and get this for free

I would suspect PPP is only worth 30% of the original cost to fit

It is the price to change that is important not how much are they giving me for my car.

Decide on what you want to pay to change and work on that figure is my advice. that's what I have always done.

 

Doubt it. The Bug eye conversion was only £1600 in Vat. Take the Vat of, subtract 50% and you will be less than £1K won't you.

Remember extras rarely make much money

 

when i part xd my p1 they complained cause i took the ss system off, asked how much i was gonna sell it for as they wanted to put it back on the car
mark

 

solution?...private sale or none francised dealer someone local that deals in japanese"sports" stuff....it will sell !!!good luck

 

This biggest pi55 take is when they do take them in - how much they put them on the forecourt for afterwards !!

 

John, I hate to tell you this, but Subaru dealers aren't registered charities

 

Jerry* - yup, been there done that as they say...

Chairk - very true as well.

 

so a scoob with ppp fitted they will get 1k added to the px value or there abouts ?
