(small catch - mileage is at 78917) :eek:

mega_stream 23 June 2002 08:16 AM

They are a main dealer aswell :eek:

No mention of service history...

BuRR 23 June 2002 10:44 AM

no small print?

Dark Blue Mark 23 June 2002 12:09 PM

Just run in. I wouldn't think twice about buying it, just got a 99 for 12,500.

Saxo boy.... Good one here!

It surely must be £19,995. The mileage is not that high really. If it is £10k I will buy it tomorrow am :)

Dream Weaver 23 June 2002 12:20 PM

They have another for £18k with 18k miles, so maybe the price is right.

tonybooth 25 June 2002 09:10 PM

C'mon then who bought it? I e-mailed the dealer Sunday night and called them first thing Monday morning only to be told that there were 3 blokes already there waiting to buy it!!!

Someone has bagged themselves a bargain.

Bloody hell! Bargain central!

(Kryten - where did yours end up with its "restyling"? )

SCOOBERATORS 25 June 2002 09:19 PM

This is the ideal car for someone who asen`t got alot to spend on a subaru who will only be using it for the odd day out .
Then in 3-4 years the milage will become average and will probably be only worth a few quid less than it is now.
What a bargain for this LTD Edition. :D

Got to be snapped up by now.

Dream Weaver 25 June 2002 11:10 PM

Scooberators - Exactly why I tried to buy it on Monday morning :( I only do about 7k miles a year so it would have been perfect for me. Had it all agreed with the missus, and she even said she would pay half of the cost :eek:

Rang them though first thing Monday and it had gone :( Deeply gutted as I was well after it and would have driven down with cash yesterday :(

Richard.S 25 June 2002 11:42 PM

Well I tried to let y'all know as soon as I saw the ad - thought someone would be genuinely interested.

Rich :)

Dream Weaver 26 June 2002 09:51 AM

Cheers Richard - good work :)

suba 26 June 2002 10:35 AM

wonder who the lucky driver who snapped it up?

MattN 26 June 2002 11:34 AM

offer them 11k for the other one?

chiark 26 June 2002 02:07 PM

Simon, gutted for you :( . Better luck next time.

Dream Weaver 26 June 2002 02:10 PM

Well, probably the best thing anyway - getting married next July and so far haven't saved up a penny, compared to the fiancee's £2k - oops :rolleyes:

So probably shouldn't be buying cars spur of the moment :D:D

DW

Richard.S 26 June 2002 03:01 PM

you should! (best time to buy a car!) :D

MattN 26 June 2002 03:16 PM

was there anything not quite right about it?

I know it's up on miles but it's not like a dealer to give a car away - esp if they have another for 8k more. to me it looks like they want shot of it because these cars can't take high mileages?well :)

suba 26 June 2002 04:31 PM

still drooling over it...

Richard.S 26 June 2002 05:04 PM

but it's been sold! (I suppose you can still drool... :rolleyes:)

Right, will whoever bought the car own up and post a few words on here! We wanna know what's wrong with it! :D

carl 26 June 2002 06:16 PM

I have a MY00 (Jan 2000) with <70k (and aircon) that I was thinking of putting up for sale at around 10k in the next few months. OK, it's only just less than 70k (69.8k :D). I was thinking I'd have to PX it as no-one would be interested in it at that mileage.

HKSubaru 26 June 2002 06:16 PM

not a limited edition! :D

carl 26 June 2002 06:18 PM

It's the only one owned by me, which makes it limited to an edition of 1 :D

Seriously, it's a year newer.

MattN 26 June 2002 10:48 PM

the fact they have another for 8k more.

I know mileage has a big impact but the car is still the same age as the other (i think). Near enough 50% off off above ave miles seems high from a dealer.

carl 26 June 2002 11:19 PM

Glass's trade prices for an 1999 'T'-plate (they don't have prices for the RB5) with 38k miles:
Retail: 14210
Excellent: 12000
Good: 10750
Fair: 9580
and with 80k miles:
Retail: 11600
Excellent: 9110
Good: 8180
Fair: 7280

So the difference the mileage makes isn't that much.

hoojchoons 26 June 2002 11:27 PM

I'll come clean..... it was me! :) Pick it up next week.

Chuffed to bits, it's a good 1!

Off to Glastonbury tomorrow.... will give you all the full story when I'm back next week.


carl 26 June 2002 11:33 PM

Seems to be below retail price, so a bargain. The 90k service will set you back 700 quid though :eek: (but not me, I got stiffed for it at 60k so now won't have it until 120k).
