Whats its worth?
Yes, another whats it worth thread, sorry guys :)
Need to sell my 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX but the bottom end has started to go and I have no idea what to put it up for. It is generally ok condition on the outside, the inside is very good. The knocking has only just started and its very quiet but I want to be honest about this. I was going to advertise it on Ebay or maybe here but not sure what to ask, £100, £500, £1000 etc. I don't want to strip it as I just don't have the time, space or the skills :) Here are the details. 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX Colour Silver 96k Miles Service History MOT OEM Stereo Average Condition Outside Good Condition Inside Decated Bad Points Bottom end just started to knock Engine light on as decatted (Was getting it mapped this month but no point now bottom end going) Usual stone chips on front Wheels need refurb Small car park mark on passenger door Any ideas what I should put it up for? Not after making the most money as I have bought a new Impreza now but really want to move this one on. Any advice appreciated. |
You need to trade it on to someone who will strip it for the special parts.
otherwise its a 500 car , sorry. A dealer told me that there is little demand now for pree 55 cars , i bought a low mileage 03 diesel for 500 and need to try and sell our 03 plate 2l petrol mazda MPV for ++ 500 that has only 77k miles and Mot till May2015 , but maybe uneconomical to repair @MoT. . Sad days for you , sorry. we live in a time when its sometimes cheaper to buy again , rather than repair. . Anybody have a full Legacy exhaust for sale cheap?? please?? to fit Mk3wagon 2001 2L non turbo?? need cat pipe and rear box if i cant find used whole system cheap. |

I think your dealer was pulling your leg. Demand for pre 06 car is more than likely on the up due to many reasons such as the weak 2.5 block and £490 tax cost.
dont look here or cheshire site and You will find prices drop op - drive it to the end and try to find another wrx engine, for me is easier, on lpg i save 1k a year or more, no point to sell it than |
Do you thinking asking £1000 is going to be too much? Should I just check it up for £500?
I was going to MOT it also but is this a waste of time? |

How do you know the bottom end is starting to anyway? it might be something like a manifold gasket leaking which gives a knocking sound

A garage I trust and know very well has indicated to me and called me in to show me. I trust them totally, they are very reliable, race in Britcar and Endurance racing, do work for BTCC and I know them as well. Trust them 100%.

I think Linus is on the right track tbh - pointless spending any time/money on it
Doubly true if it is kept on the road - at some stage it will need re-taxing, insuring and mot-ing And that lot could easily add up to £500 odd quid Stick it on ebay for a week with no reserve, list the faults and take your chances but at least you know it will be off you hands in a week |
