Has anyone got this months EVO, there is a guy trying to sell a classic on a 2000 plate for £15.5. I think he needs a reality check

I saw that too. He should be so lucky. Must still be living in the past when Imprezas had good residuals!

I recently sold my MY00 (a euro import) for £11.5k

Fair enough, the one in Evo has PPP, leather etc. but I still think he'll do well to get 13k.

Perhaps he's had the ad in for the past 2 years !...LOL

We traded in our MY00 classic for a MY03 and got £12k and I thought that was generous but that had taken into account a £500 discount off the MY03 so really £11.5k.

Dudes, not everyone comes on scoobynet to sell thier cars, granted, no-one from scoobynet would buy it because we are aware of the market, but by chancing his arm in a national mag, who knows he might get lucky :D Someone who doesn't care, has plenty of money and just fancies a scoob may buy it. Why not?
I sell stuff every day to companies that if they took the time to "shop around" would see that they are paying over the odds. That's selling :D
We know it ain't worth 15.5k but to someone who has to have one now it will seem like a fair price.

Mikey :cool:

I agree with Gridlock, worth a try.

Let us never forget how educated and informed we, the Scoobynet community, are. ;)

maybe hes doing what i do. i put my cars up for silly money when im not fussed about keeping or selling it. If it goes i get lotsa cash, if it dont i get the car, cant lose...

I guess the other side would be that no one phones, and it's wasted money on an add.

Well at least we got a laugh out of it :D

Mikey i wana refund ;) lol
Si

nothing ventured as they say...... good luck to him

Si..........NO BOG OFF!! ;)

Mikey :cool:

Considering my UK MY00 has been in the trader for 3 weeks now (mag 1 week) at 11995 and I haven't had a single call, 15.5k is a bit optimistic;)

Good luck to him

Agree with Mikeys first post.

Then when the new owner buys it and comes on here we can all call him a plebber for spending so much on it!:)

I bought a UK MY00 a couple of months ago with slightly higher than average mileage for £9.5k! :eek:

There is a June 99 RB5 in the for sale section for £14.5k if that makes you feel any better.
Good luck to them is what I say.

As a very Belgian and regulary EVO reader I have the following thing to say ;

In the last years, EVO magazine had done several articles on Subaru, road tests, group tests off all sort and in all conditions.
In most of those tests, they praised the Subaru and the Lancer as THE CARS to have, with excellent roadholding, brakes and bla-bla-bla...

Of course, I share that way of thinking, otherwise I would have bought a BMW or a Vauxhall. But I think some people take this articles and tests a little too serious, hence the overpriced cars that I see in several magazines.

Creepy
