Greg,

Sorry, not what you're wanting to hear but in todays market I'd have thought your car is priced at least £3000 too high?

It sounds a good one but the end of the day its a five year old car. I've seen 99 STi V available for around £15k. I bought my Scoob (UK Spec) brand new via Holland last year for under £16k all in.

The Jap import cars seem to be getting harder to insure which isn't helping the second hand market.

Good luck with the sale,

Ian.

I've had the same experience. Try anywhere BUT Scoobynet! I'll take 11k for my '99 T plated WRX - I can't give the f***ing away!

 

Greg,

I am afraid that the car is worth £7k trade and at best £9k private I would think. If you have any standard bits, you are better selling the uprated bits seperately and putting standard wheels, bodykit etc back on. STI V's start at £14k, 4's are around £12k, 3's make £10k and 1-2's £8-9k...

Good luck selling, sorry if you feel the prices are harsh, but have you tried to take the car to your local import dealer for a cash price (it will probably start 6 or 7 at a push)

Jon

BTW I have an older import too and am not trying to knock their values, I along with most people who ownened their cars for a while have lost more than they expected on the car! :

 

Murphy, you have mail. Can you give me a phone number?

Cheers

Mike
