Default bargain?

Hi guys was just browsing the net and came across this looks like a bargain to me £13000 for an 06 with just 8000 miles, just thought I'd post it for anyone who may be after one. Guessing knows the time for a bargain, anybody seen one for less?

really?! wow I didn't think things were that bad yet, surely not much cheaper? still see 04s going for 10-11k, with only 8000 on the clock I thought it was quite good, wow, glad I never bought one, I'll be staying with me classic I think, going by these price drops it must only be worth about 10p now.

Classics are nearly holding better money than the newer cars it seems...

Always the way, Classics, special runs and to be honest I would think that bugeyes (due to them being the ugly shape when they first came out) will probably be the ones to recover first.

Damn it.... I want mine to recover.....

Been offered £15K for my 08 STI as p/x against a couple of other different makes, this on 6/7 month old car... about £12K depreciation once you factor in the options I paid for etc.... needless to say I'm keeping it for now and turning my attention to tuning it May as well throw some more money at it and really enjoy it!

I know... and that was from the supplying dealer who seemed to tell the VW guy "I don't really want the car, got 2 demo's we can't sell, not selling new ones but if I had to bid for this one it would be no more than £15K"... the VW salesman was shocked! Best I could do is try to sell privately I would think.

I was VERY lucky with mine, sold it for exactly what i bought it for, all i lost out on was a £300 SERVICE so can,t complain at all, just wasn,t using it and it was 16k just sat in the garage..

Can,t wait to pick the Type R up this weekend..

TX, that,s very true, but i was hardly using it tbh and it was going to cost me another 2k plus for mapping etc, plus my wife was giving me grief for having yet ANOTHER car sat in the garage doing nothing.. so when you,re offered 16k i decided sell, now i have a well specced classic and like i said, a nice £10.200 in the bank..
