I bought my scoob in may 08 (05 uk Sti) for £13k at the time it seemed rather reasonable 20,000 on the clock full history totally immaculate, i was searching for a fair while and at the time i thought an 05 model was out of reach for my budget so when the price dropped on this 1 i thought i was lucky, how wrong i was lol 6 months later and immaculate lower mileage uk sti's r going for around 10k and less

I know this dont matter totally cus ill be keeping the car for a few years yet but i was amased by how much has been wiped off the value.

has anybody got a similar tale to tell?, if u can bring urself to tell us lol

 

"ur" ?

 

it's short for your

 

I bought my car in august 08, and it's worth 4.5k more than i paid for it, I very nearly bought a 56 plate hawkeye STI at the same time. Thank GOD i never, i would have been suicidal by now.

 

was worth something, now nothing

 

i dont want to think about it

 

i paid £18.5k for my 05 sti ppp in june 07 , but they gave me £10k for my 03 wrx or i wouldn't buy it

i bought my sti ppp bug eye for £9500 and now it's worth £5045 and i bought this in september

 

The price drops are drastic and I think can only get worse. Unemployment will rise a lot further through the year, and road tax on the more recent Impreza turbos (2006-on) will rise to £400 a year.
I recently saw an ad in Autotrader for brand new UK-supplied '58 WRX hatches at £12999 !! These are rapidly becoming a car that nobody wants at any price.

 

Paid £9k 18 months ago for bug wrx ppp, now worth about 5k i guess.

 

Paid about £22,000 - now worth about £4,000?

But that is over 9 years, so - maybe not all that bad??

 

i've only lost money if i sell now, i was happy with the price i paid at the time and i don't intend on selling. Its like any car you wait long enough and you'll find a cheap one. If you own your car outright and your looking to upgrade its no different to upgrading 2 years ago. Most performance cars have lost large amounts of their value, so what you've lost on yours will more than likely have come off the one you buy.
