Looking on the forsale forum, their are copious amounts of MY03 WRXs for sale, 2.5k mls, 4800mls all around the 15k mark.
Apart from the question WHY? What are prices like these going to do to residuals of all the other WRX's and will the STI's start taking a tumble soon.?

personally I need the money, due to circumstances beyond my control. Including Gordon Brown, my local council, employer and my baby daughter's huge appetite and very effective "waste disposal" system ;)

No idea about the others. Gutted to have to sell mine- it's a wonderful car.

regarding it upsetting the economics of Sooby second hand values I doubt it.

It's certainly having no effect on second hand dealer prices is it!
