Seasons greetings all 
I'm going to view another car at a main dealers tomorrow
and just wondered(read worried)as to what the value of my much loved Burnsmobile's might be?..p/x or private?
It's had 3 owners,done 33.5k and has a full MD service history,just had the 60k done!!
(original WRSport No 378 btw and was completely std when I bought it last Feb)
I think most of the extras can be seen in the pics,apart from the Godspeed brakes,the K+N and full de-cat,none of which will add to its trade in value I know
...so,any(sensible)suggestions are welcome
Thanks,Jon

Not sure of the value, but it such a lovely car that I hope whatever you are going to be looking at at the dealer is worth it!!

I know this is completely off topic and in the wrong section, but i spotted you in Whiteley tesco's a few weeks back, very nice motor, lovely sound. I was in a silver 03 parked the other side of the car park so i doubt you would have seen me!

Afternoon all
Right,well that was a complete waste of time.
The black UK Evo that I went to see turned out to be a silver import
so i didn't get as far as any trade-in deals.The enemy will just have to wait a 'lil bit longer until I join their ranks
lol
Ironically on my way home I was followed by another RB5
and decided that I'd keep mine for a while.....then nearer home I saw someone pass me in a Terzo,fog lights on,driving like his hair was on fire:O...
I just think that classic Imprezas are rapidly gaining a bit of a bad image at the moment

IMO, even if you were to strip the wheels, brakes, lights, gauges etc etc and sell em all privately, you should still get £10k+ from an IM dealer.
Thats what I did anyway!

YFM,There was one in my local autotrader last week for £14.500,which was kind of what got me thinking.

Elmer Fudpucker,
Your RB5 Looks asolutly awesome mate, its almost identical to mine (cosmetic mods apart from the wheels). What i was wondering is where you got those blue/grey RB5 stickers from ? They look really cool and suit the colour of the car a lot better.
Keep the car mate

£13.5K is having a laugh isnt it,its a nice looking car but its on a 'T'plate which is getting old now.
I traded my RB5 WR when it was 12 months old with 10k on the clock and got £18K at the MD,now you lot are saying its still worth £13.k is laughable and with 33k on the clock.
You are better off selling privately than trading, i've seen 03 Wrx's with less than 6k going for £16k so expecting £13-£14k for yours at a MD isnt going to happen.

zippy,I don't think that anyone was suggesting that a Main Dealer would offer that much,but thanks anyway
Are you saying that you lost £9k in 12 months of ownership
?
list price for a new WR sport was £27k!
I have a receipt for my car,where,at two years old it was sold for £22k.
aceman,YHM,on how to make your own flaps
