Subaru blob px advice
 
Hey guys wonder if anyone can advise me

I'm looking to px my 05 blob wrx ppp with 43k on the clock I'm after an s3 but it has 123k on clock is this excessive mileager for a 03plate

Also should I look to sell my blob and if so how much should I hope to get for it ?


Sorry if these are stupid questions but I'm feeling a bit green and clueless

What year is the S3?

Mileage shouldn't be an issue if its been looked after but apart form slightly better fuel economy the car is not a patch on your blob.( I know ive owned both ) ;)

pflowers 02 September 2012 08:27 PM

I would say your blob is worth about £4k

I wouldn't touch a car with those miles. Cars like that have been hammered don't care what anyone says. And 4k sounds about right for WRX even with ppp and low miles.

I had a s3 wasn't very economical and not that quick

pflowers 02 September 2012 08:45 PM

Sorry just re-read and seen its an 03, I had a 53 plate, it was good but nothing compared to my scoob.

Ive seen some right dogs of cars with less than 50k on them.

My blob has 126k on it and apart from brakes, tyres and an up pipe is 100% original. Its as tight and sharp as it ever was and drinks no oil.

It really does depend on how its been treated.

i would just add that your blob is a 55 plate so has the new dash same as the hawkeye in mint condition with full subaru history all belts done with whiteline uprated antiroll bars and antiliftkit with 18" oz superleggas.

And worth about £4k!:thumb:

i was looking at wrx's for ages and 4 grand will get you an 03/53 plate with 80/95k from a dealer, so a low miler 55 plate is worth 5k/5.5k imo

I paid £2300 for my 03 WRX FSH albeit with 120k, plenty of 04 plates for around £3k

can you show me these for sale with the milage this one has on it please with full history i do know that they can vary in price alot i know the extras do not add a value but its also just had new brakes and got the single din head unit (alpine) with bluetooth i/pod conection and new speakers fitted in it (factory fit) apart from the speakers.
4k just seems a bit too cheap.

pflowers 02 September 2012 09:27 PM

Here's one, up for £4495, and at a dealer so presumably with warranty. Ok no PPP but slightly lower mileage. Presumably with negotiation obtainable for near enough £4k

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...ht_1213wt_1271

There are plenty of cars for sale for £5-6K but they are exactly that - for sale and unsold.

I appreciate some people would pay more for peace of mind from a dealer but that warranty / tax / mot / service is only added on to the price.

Its sad I know but on a car that was circa £20k new, a value of about £4k when 7 years old sounds about right to me.

b road blaster 02 September 2012 09:35 PM

fair play fella i still would be putting it up for a cash sale of 4.5k with the ppp and a trade in at aound the 4k if at a dealers

pflowers 02 September 2012 09:36 PM

Here's another, facelift and an SL. Ok much higher mileage but unsold at £3895 and from a dealer.

Stupidly low of course, but this is obviously how the trade value them and to be fair he did ask for a PX value.
