Following on from the under £5k thread.. I bought my 93 wrx in jan 04 and paid £6100 for it which seemed a good deal at the time. It seems extortinate, seeing what they are going for now though.

 

October 2003. MY00 Sonic Blue. standard apart from decat zorst. £10K @ 42K. 2 previous owners both SNet members.

 

I bought my scoob at 22 in March/April 2003, it's an MY00 uk Turbo and paid £14k for it.

Could nearly buy a brand new EU import for that money these days .

 

ps lewis £9k 1999 my98 still on 1st set of brake pads

 

must be near on 9 years ago, a series McRae and IIRC it was £18500

back in the good old days when scoobies had decent residuals!

 

Bought my "then" standard Uk MY99 for £14500 in July 2001
It's now modded to over 300 and is worth about £6.50 i would think

 

August 1999, £21500, UK Turbowagon.
Still have it, low miles and hoping "Classic" status might apply sometime in the future.

 

Hi all I am now the proud owner of my 1st scooby which i bought last week,its a 94L wrx jap import and im very impressed.I paid £3500 which imo is alot of car for the money,the car drives like a dream and sounds awesome,it's un-modified apart from ss exaust.
Just to add.....Also imressed with this forum!Have learned loads in a few hours and look forward to learning more!!!

welcome son

 

June 2000


Brand new green wagon




£19995 special price as cancelled order had it ever since and love it to bits
Im worried cos it mght be cold in the garage so am going to put a blanket over it

 

September 2005 paid £16.495 for MY03STi, got extra full 12 months warrenty
Service 30K. Bouquet of flowers and pink/blue/white ribbons on it as i picked him up on my 35th birthday after a long 6 years of saving up.

BUT IT'S WORTH IT.

 

oct 06 03 reg sti ppp boughtfor 14995 with 35000miles on the clock

 

I bought my green UK wagon four years ago in March, for £8995.

 

november 2005 05 sti ppp 1000miles 3years free servicing for £22000

 

The older (better) ones still have, in comparison to other cars! We looked at a Volvo while our scoob was missing; a V40 SE which was the same price as the scoob when it came out, and was a year younger. Price? Three grand. Scoob price? £6,500.

 

Does not compute.

 

It was going to be a stop-gap. We got a decent Laguna for a decent price - which we now need to offload.

 

Bought an My99 with air con in October 2002 for £12.5k with 12.5k miles on it - bit of a bargain at the time, bought it off a family member so I had known the car from new too

 

MY93 WRX - personal import.
Picked up the keys in Jan 2000, and paid around £9,000 in total (original cost of car + shipping + import duty + VAT + 4 new tyres + registration + UK agent commission!!)

Seemed like a bargain at the time as you couldn't get any turbo for less than around £13,000 That summer, Subaru raised their import quota, and prices have fallen ever since.....

7 years later, and it's probably worth pennies, but I've had over 100,000 miles out of it, and it still goes!

 

MY00 Turbo (euro import) Sonic Blue with brand new 18" oz rims and toyo tyres, last year (June) for £7500. Full decat, with FSH (mainly at prosport) so i was very happy, untill i had a go in a friends my03 jdm sti (360bhp) **** me them things are the bolloxs, already started saving for one

 

got mine on the 7th July 2005 10 days before my 25th birthday, STi 9 with 300miles 24.5K

done a couple of mods since then, now running 370bhp, 365lbs-ft of torque on the standard VF35

Dont think I would go back to 2WD now

Graeme

 

what mods you got on yours graeme and what boost you running and whose it mapped by?
nice figures by the way

 

Meercat decat 3 inch snakehead system
GT spec 2 headers and up pipe
Samco / Perrin intake hoses
APS inner wing induction kit
(little porky pie) as I had the wastegate ported to stop the boost creep the VF35's are famous for so its not exactly standard
10% Methanol in with the V Power
Bosch 255ltr per hour fuel pump
origional plugs (think I should change them as ive done 22K on them...lol)
Andy Forrest ECUTEC map running 1.55 Bar of boost

in 5th and 6th gears getting full boost by 2800rpm

Graeme

 

thanks for that graeme got a simular spec but oe headers and no waste gate ported and no methanol and got 357bhp and 319lbft but interested to see whats needed to push the power up if keeping vf35.

thanks

 

I bought my '94 Legacy Turbo in February '99 when it was 48k miles old. I paid £6100 for it.

It's now 99k miles old, still mine, and still going strong

Although it's wheels, brakes, suspension, gearbox and diff are all considerably newer

 

bought my first (of three) scoobs back in november 2005, when i had been learning to drive a few months. was indeed another 4 months before i passed my test so you can imagine the incentive sat there waiting for me to pass first time, which i did. was 'only' a sport, but not bad for a first car. cost me £2600 for a my98 white sport with 89,000 miles from a garage too, not private, which then was quite a good price.

was only 21 at the time, so imaging the first thing i did after passing my morning test after coming off nights??? didnt sleep for 48 hours straight, was too excited about driving everywhere...

December 2006. Bought my MY03 WRX on ebay for £9k 19700 miles, FSSH, Five months Subaru proven warranty included!!

Guy was desperate to sell due to splitting up with his missus and had paid £13.8k to a dealer for the car in April.
