Default Whats it worth time!? LOL

Mkay, i currently have a 2002 sti type uk bug eye
58k on the clock.
Some service history, cam belt changed, 50k service, new brakes all round.

Front splitter, Vortex BB, Rear morettes

IF i was to sell up whats it worth? Only ask as i checked Parkers and they say £5800, ebay and piston heads have them for £6000 up!

So im confused!!!

Few little stone chips and thats all!

Thanks for any help!

I honestly would say for a quicker sale, around 5-5.5k but depending on condition etc, you may get around the 6k mark.

Recently, Paul&bon had a bugeye WRX on here with 43,000 miles for just under 4k.

Problem is at the moment, it is a buyers market, so if you want to sell, it needs to be priced to sell.

Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but that is the conclusion I have come to, seeing the prices of some of the cars that are for sale.

EDITED to add, put your old lights on and exhaust etc, and sell them separately, could add another 300-500 to your final sale, as the mods will not add any real value to the car when it is for sale.

if you've had it for 3 years to loose £2k isn't that bad on a car imo. if you want to sell as nate says take the mods off and sell them seperately. then stick the car up for what you are willing to take for it. wait for a buyer. i think i sold mine too cheap in the end. classic type ra. had it up for £2200 and took a bmw convertible as a straight swap that i'll do well to get £2k for. but at the end of the day i wanted rid of the scoob.

upset with a 2 k loss in 3 years. The spec'C' lost 10k in 3 years, the noble probably about 5k in a year.

If it is for sale in a few months time still, then I might want to take a look.
