Default does anybody ever sell a scooby on here

Ok im starting to get sarcastic
But why has my beloved 94 Sti scooby not sold yet
Pics have been posted

Now fed up with people phoning up for full details and never bothering to look
Its only £6000
When did you last find an sti in superb condition for that money?

Steppers, I know someone else (still on here) with a much higher level of frustration than you.
I am alarmed at the prices the cars are set at and still they do not sell. The Sti is a great car, I have an Sti v3 facelift, but what is that worth now?
I presume all the good guys are buying Rovers now....
Things go round in cycles, so things will get better if you can wait.
Good luck, 911.

Ive sold 2 on here. Right price and a bit of patience....

Trouble is, if you're new to scoobs and want to buy one, you probably won't have heard of scoobynet. Autotrader is where its at.

Its the right money though, WRX's go for near that money.

2 reasons -

1. It is a nightmare selling any car at the moment
2. This is scoobynet and a lot of people already have Imprezas. Hence they may want a car they see, but will have to sell theirs first or offer to PX it. Makes for an annoying sale.

i sold my last Scooby on www.pistonheads.com

Or try Ebay - I have sold one car on there, a motorbike and bought my Dad a Merc E class - all with no problems at all.

Perseverance and the right price will prevail..

Smile Bought and sold

I bought my first UK scoob on scoobynet for 5.5K kept for 6 months and sold it yesterday on here for 5.5K.

Anything will sell if you sell at rock bottom price, people are basically bas%ards when it comes to selling your car.

Right where did i see that 2003 sti for 6K.

Scoobynet - a great place to buy a car. Not so great to sell

I'd personally look at selling elsewhere

All the best though

Steppers, Dont beat yourself up over this. Im currently looking to buy my first scooby and am having to work realy hard to get what I want. I dont have much cash at the moment (about half what you are asking!) but may have found what I want and intend to slowly trade up to something like the one you are selling. It can be done. I bought a house a year ago and had to sell my T5 (Great car in a straight line!), From an Orion I paid 800 quid for when I bought the house I am now 1 move away from a 3K scooby (not a dog but a seller who has emigrated and needs to sell.) What I am trying to say is there are people like me who are looking for a bargain so yours will go, you will just have to be patient. Hope you are not suffering too much over this and wish you luck.

Just my 2p worth

Tom

Price is everything. 4 years ago I sold a 94 Sti for 6500....70K miles and new wheels and tyres, it took 4 months. On here and in Autotrader. Unfortunately many people think their car is worth more than it is and then feel let down, its about how much time you have versus the price I'm afraid. Bottom line its a 10 year old car that you could have bought 4 years ago for inflated prices of 11 or 12 grand(when they were much rarer).
