Hello people,

Just wondering what my m8 will get for her RB5.

Very clean car, no dings etc, all chips etc painted out professionaly.
36K on the clock with FSSH. Standard car - no mods.

Was just wanting to gauge what you guys think, thanks.

Stephen.

 

So not a wr model?
Possably between 11-12k, which is good going for even an MY00 nowerdays, let alone an MY99

RB5's are a funny one at the moment.

if you check the Subaru dealers national search there arn't any listed for sale ( last I checked) and it's been the same story for a month or so. I've had my one for 2 years and I'm not interested in changing yet but the dealer I bought it from is pestering me like crazy to get my car back

I've seen a lot of differn't prices banded around from 15K down to 10K. I'd think a good example should make 11K upto 13K for a minter with low low miles

 

There are 2 available at dealers at the moment on the dealers national search. One is at Carstins in coventry (saw it there today when I took my RB5 in as well) it has about 61K miles and is up for £10995 , the other is in Crickhowell (wherever that is) and has 79000 and is up for £14995

Also if you have a look on Autotrader there are a few on there. I think the prices that RB5 Black states above seem reasonable to me, however I tried to sell mine last November for about £12k and it is VGC, low miles, warrantied etc. and got no reasonable interest whatsoever.

I think the Crickhowell (Abergavenny - Wales) vehicle is an ex-Subaru UK one. I seem to remember seeing that number plate the the car-magazines and marketing when they were released. Shouldn't make any difference to what it's worth though - unless it was a Prodrive version of course.

 

Seems stupidly expensive for the mileage, my first thought was that it might be a prodrive version, doesn't look like it has the WR Sport spoiler though..

 

Mine was up for sale a month ago,struggled to sell it,at 14.k then reduced it to 12.5k,still no joy.
Put it in a Subaru dealers for sale or return.They put it up for 14kish and sold it,within weeks.Albeit with warranty etc.

Car as your mates,excellent cond with 35k miles on and 18 inch alloys, fssh,etc.Non WR version.
It will sell ,just need to find someone who wants one,and is willing to pay for a ltd edition car.

 

Heres another quick question is the wr version the big spoiler one??

If so it may be that, right enough it may also be an after thought as the owner thinks it is.

Any ideas.

 

The WR Sport does have a bigger prodrive spoiler, other telltale signs would be 'WR Sport' on the Speedo, and it should have a Prodrive exhaust as well (single, larger tailpiece) there will also be prodrive labelled hoses under the bonnet.. Think that is

 

should have a PPP style certificate if it is the WR model.
