Has anyone bought or sold an Impreza recently?
I’m looking to buy a MY99/00 around mid November and need some help with prices.

Can you give me an idea what you bought or sold your car for – some idea of mileage and condition would be helpful as well

I’ve seen various prices in garages and privately but I know this is often different to what the car actually sells for

So anyone who has bought a 98/99 or 2000 registered car recently – please help me out!

You can either drop me an email as per profile or post it up here

Thanks in advance!

Can't help on pricing, but make sure you understand wether what you are buying is a UK car with 3 year IM warranty or European import with 1 year IM warranty (some have 3 year warranty, maybe with a 3rd party warranty company)

People were getting MY00 Euro imports brand new for around £17k, MY00 UK was around £21k.

I've seen year old Euro imports advertised for £15-£16k which is far too much IMHO when the owner only paid around £17k.

Also this site may help:

If you look on autotraders website you'll see loads of scoobs there. To be honest they will fetch more money there than they will on scoobynet. This is probably the best bet for a bargain, just be patient and wait for the right one to come along.
I bought my MY00 for less than 15000 by the time I'd got it back here with a Cat 1 alarm and traded it in 1½ years later with 17k miles for 14500. It is now up for 15995 at a dealers.
Hope this helps

from gregh:
People were getting MY00 Euro imports brand new for around £17k, MY00 UK was around £21k
It's exactly the same car as a UK spec, so why assume it will be worth less? Because less was paid originally for it???

It's worth what the market will pay for an MY00, minus a bit for the lack of warranty. Hence why people get a bargain when they buy a new one, and subsequent buyers get the same bargain, too.

I don't want to hijack the thread (sorry), but I couldn't let the opportunity to wind gregh up pass by untaken

There'll be quite a few around now, and I can poll the importingimprezas mailing list to see if any have been sold on, and for what sort of money.

The chap who bought one above sounds like he got a good car cheap...

Nick
