OK - theres no denying it - the thing looks stunning

But is it worth £30k?

I'd appreciate any comments - cheers

Tim

the best scoob EVER to be offered to the uk market

 

Yup.

Rich

 

Beuatiful, saw that in Subaru's Head quarters a few months ago ( I went to Tokyo )

But having said that 30k is a lot of £££££ but its a lot of car.....

if i had the cash im sure i would consider it

all the best

jay

 

nope . 30k

 

yea i reckon its worth it! people pay 30k for a mitsi evo 8 and they are damn ugly!!!!

 

£30k is a bit OTT in my opinion, I'd rather have a second hand M3 to be honest.

 

NO ......

 

what about residuals? think they will be as strong as the P1??

 

Definately worth it just look at it

 

but its 2nd hand & it aint exclusive !!
m3 csl is but its 60k
f@ck that !!

 

this is silly u can get a import sti for 21-22.5k giving u 9kaprox for mods . or a house in the North
great advert but not value

steve

 

steve,
Was that a house or a street?

 

LOL a small town

 

surely a 3 yr old wr1 will be worth a **** load more than an imported sti, or a house up north of similar age tho?????

 

I've dropped a bollock here - thought I'd start the thread so as to give me a bit of ammo when the other half fainted at me announcing I'd spent 30k on a car - was expecting 1000 replies saying "yeh its worth it easily................"

 

Yes its worth it, all the goodies it should come with anyway and the exclusivity factor which will be good gome re sale time as well.

all IMO of course.
Daz.

 

YES defo worth it, might get one myself when they are eventually out

 

and IM have not seen you coming

 

is it bo11ocks buy and sti 8 and put a front grill on it and save some money

 

Not sure whether you were joking or no Si, but the grilles are hardly the most important differences. You can't get a regular STi Type UK with DCCD...

 

i think it is a good car with lots of extras on it which should have been on the sti in the first place!
i wonder if subaru will limit the run to 500 or increase to 1000 like the p1 leaving lots of unsold p1's therefore reducing the resale values

Well, put it this way. It's on sale in Japan from 3,350,000 yen plus tax, which calculates at less than £17000. Plus shipping fee and import duty and VAT, SVA, registration, etc. Comes to about £25000-£26000 by the time you've finished messing about with it all. The rest is dealer's profit.

But what's it worth to you? That's the most important thing, isn't it?

 

So dealer makes £4000 profit.About 20%. Out of that he has to pay staff, rates, power, tax and the everday running of the business. Drops that figure down quite a bit I would imagine.

Chip.

 

Don't forget, £17,000 is plus Japanese tax and their dealer margin, which the importer won't pay, so depending on I.M.'s cut, the dealer may make more than that.

Then, of course, you're shackled to the three+ years of exorbitant dealer prices for servicing if you want that warranty.

The dealers are doing OK from every one of these they sell.

 

Just not true. My UKsti cost £160 for 24month service. Whats wrong with that. Thats a lot cheaper than many repmobiles are to get serviced.Fact.

Chip.

 

Really?

Both my previous scoobs cost me between £400-£500 for the 60,000 mile service (which is about the same as the 24 month/30,000 mile service)

Perhaps the schedule is different on the UK STI's.

If it's just the equivalent of the old six month oil change, I stand by my words.

 

One house! you could buy a whole street in Burnley for that ammount!!!

Ah, but who wants to live in Burnley?

 

Hey what are you saying about northern houses!!!!!!

My three bedroom large tarrace was bloody expensive! My little girls bedroom is 17ft by 10...

29k 10 years ago! same price as the Scoob!
