Worth £12,000?
 

Hi Guys,


I'm looking for a DCCD widetrack blob and came across this:

I know it's rare and in good nick with more power but is it really worth £12,000?

Any thought would be very much appreciated.

the white cars command a premium as they are rare.

if it is a genuine white one from the factory then it is rare and worth a premium over a more common coloured car but 12k is still steep.

i guess its how much you like white.

I do like white but not enough to part with £12k! Ho wmuch do you/others feel it's worth?

To me i'd say it's worth £8.5/9k, if I really wanted a white one I might stretch to £9.5k, but £12k is taking the p!ss, i'd sooner buy one for £8k and have it colour changed for £2k and spend the other £2k on a turbo and map it to run 450bhp.;)

12K buys you a serious impreza these days. Its far too much money imo, they do look good in white though.

hurst cars had a really nice hawk jdm sti with a few nice bits for just over 12k.

id agree with 9 to 9.5k at a push

Thanks for all the replies! Appreciate it. I'll see if I can knock them down to that price!

£8.5k / £9.5k tops no way would I spend £12k on it just because it's white....but it does looks well nice!

I'd expect a mint blobeye widetrack with a ppp or miltek/ecutek equivalent to reach £10k but adding a couple of grand because it's white wouldn't be worth it for me.

As Danny Boyyyyy says I guess it depends how much you like white!

If you want one for four figures hold out for another example or put a cheeky bid of 9995 in for that one in a few weeks because chances are it'll still be there.

As has been said, if you like the colour, and given the rarity, it might tempt you to pay a little more than someone else would.

But that one above is £1k less, rare because of the model, not the colour and with guaranteed specialist history.
(A year older, more miles perhaps but still).

That also makes the white one look expensive.

Btw - how can anyone say/prove that only 5 were ever produced in that colour ?

there were only seven not five official sti type uk cars sold in white, it was a special order colour.

whether or not this is one of them or a repsrayed one who knows.

it is common knowledge amongst enthusiasts, thats why i guess you dont know :)

That reduces the price then, since they're not so rare :)

Cheers. Might go and see it, see what it's like and make a cheeky offer!

£12k lol :D

As dan said there were seven sold, a member over on sidc is a subaru salesman and he checked the numbers sold for me.

I bought mine and had it a year then passed another one five miles from my house :lol1:

Good job you didn't park in the same car park :)

I had just been talking to somebody who asked about mine been white as he had never seen one that colour before. I explained about there only been seven and then as i was driving off the other went by. I now know the owner of the other one. There are three in scotland that i know of.

Lol, I think it'll be a four figure offer as opposed five! They'll probably tell me to jog on but hey ho!

Car's sold! Wonder how much it went for!

Less than £12K ??? :D

I'm waiting for the "Hi, just bought an Aspen White STi" thread to start :lol1:

How much less I wonder...

They'll never admit it.

They'll put a Litchfield sticker on it and all will be well £££ :p

And the next sale of it will also have 'resprayed Aspen White from that ghastly WRC Blue'. :D

It did go pretty quickly, so as the op's perhaps implied - was it very much less?

And I agree with CrewJ - they'll never admit it.

Never mind, there's hope for Litchfield owners if an 06 JDM STi is advertised at £12K.

Might have to consider a respray though........ :lol1:

:poke: :D

:lol1:

why would they not admit it?, its a rare car only 7 in the uk.
you pay your money, you buy what you want.

id much rather have a white car than the common wr blue

I meant admit the price they paid.

New question - also £12,000! Worth it? Couple of tiny scratches but there is a large stone chip that has gone through to the metal on the roof.

Imo NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT !

RB320's - about £14-£15k.
T2* Hawks - £16K-ish.

In comparison, £12K for a UK STi ?

I think not.
