So this is how it stands, P1 nearly an owner.
 

There is one in dronfield, near me. it doesent have the uprated brakes.
it has done 50000 miles 12500. But they will only give me 7750 for my st220, witch is 03 plate.

The p1 has full service history, but in one it was late by 6000 miles?? Really dont no what to do. as I need to get rid of the mondeo. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

don't do it, it is vital that servicing is done on time and at 50k miles ona p1 that is the time to be most wary. as the money he is offering for your st220 is only average try some other dealers.
well lane turbo centre had 2 excellent condition p1's in.
if you need to drive the whole length of the country it will be worth it. Take it from me i have rushed into buying cars asap and never again. Whjat harm would another £10 on the phone bill do and a bit of extra time travelling in the car.
hope this helps

I no what ur saying pal,, I have rushed into buying cars aswell, running out of options as there arent many for sale,, really want one with the bigger brakes, it needs to be a garage tho as I need rid of the garage, there is someone on here who has a gud one,, but its the mondy again cheers pal.

yes i know garages will charge a little bit extra but it save a lot of haasle and you will also get a limited warrenty. like i say try well lane turbo as they do part ex. have looked at official subaru???

just been omn official subaru website, this car looks like it would be a safe bet and as its official subaru you would get a 12month warrenty and 1yr breakdown. have a look in the search oftions and look for this dealer

buying private is always a gamble with old cars. just look at the attitude of this guy on ebay and his responses to questions. does he really think he is going to sell it with an attitude like that.

is that the number of the garage is it a montys subaru?? Cheers mate for the info and help.:notworthy

its just the dealers details from Home | Subaru (UK) Ltd.. i went on the approved used cars and clicked 2 doors ans it brings up all of the p1's from around the country.

just gave them a bell, and I had allready rung them earlier, there in coventry, and offered me 8500 on the mondeo. its tempting that one has it has a 12 month warrenty.

montys have a nice p1 in for sale at present,get down there and speak to danny or john,both will look after you and will be fair on your trade-in,tell them mark sent you,they may even throw in a free baseball cap ;)

mark

That P1 seems expensive to me :wonder: I'd also be very concerned that it was 6k late for a service :eek: 1k wouldn't worry me too much but 6k on a scoob is ridiculous :eek:

Wouldn't touch Well Lane with a bargepole, their cars may be good but they are well overpriced,they know nothing about them,the warranty aint worth **** and the owner is an arrogant tosser

Mark witch montys is that,, were is it based. near coventry??

sorry matey my bad

I am assuming you mean dronfield/sheffield ?

if so,its the montys on penistone road hillsborough phone 01142 214333

ask for john or danny

Montys

click on used cars and skim down

Have you had bad dealings with well lane? Ive never bought a car from there but had some work done on my cars,and its allways been good service.

I'd just buy a JDM Type R. Don't see the fuss over a P1.

14000 cud be a little dear, but I will ring anyway, and see what they say about the mondeo. Cheers for help, doesent look like its got the brake upgrade but never mind. cheers

yes the one at monty's looks like a good motor. although the one i saw was 1000 pound cheaper and had 500 miles more. 8.5k for the modeo is better than 7700 though aint it.

sounds like things are progressing well for you!!!

where abouts in the country are you?

Aside from Barry who is a top bloke they're all w@nkers including Billy the owner. They charge rip off prices for substandard work. I do not have experience of their car sales service though.:)

there are two at montys 1 at the sheffield one £14000,,,, then research subaru at coventry £13000. just go on auto trader website and narrow the search down. there all on there. it okay them saying 8500 for mondeo thats just over the phone, that was the coventry one who said that, I havent spoke to the one in sheff, I live about 15mins away from j30 of the m1.

I wouldn't worry too much about the uprated brakes. It will be cheaper to buy some after market ones and have them fitted yourself. The problem with the Alcons is disk replacement as I found out to my detriment, best price for a set of replacement disks £500!!!

okay, suppose the standard ones will be okay? I think, there is one on auto trader, 38000 miles has 5 gauges in interior, blitz full excaust. £13500. wonder if its bin hammered.

Where is it and does it have gold BK299 alloys?

That's still expensive and I wouldn't buy one with that mileage on it unless it'd had the engine done. For some reason they blow up around this mileage but I have no idea why :wonder:

if it's been serviced well you should be fine, warrenty is a big issue though so maybe private is not the route to go down. if they have offered 8.5k on the phone then there should be no problems as long as you have accurately described it.
When i went to pick up my sti8 they gave me a price of 22k for a 320 bmw that they had never seen. he looked round it for 2 mins and then in the workshop and then paid out.
if they tried to move the goal posts on the 8.5k then i would walk away from the dealership altogether. it may be that they need to get their yearly targets and maybe that's why he has offered you a better price than you were possibly expecting????

good point, gonna narrow it down tomozz morning.
