Default Sold the Scoob.

Well after giving up looking for a Widetrack Sti with low miles, I bought a new car on tuesday and sold my blob wrx today.

I could not justify spending the amount of money they are going for these days for a 10 year old car. I had my Wrx for 4 years and she served me well. But its a sad day because Ive had a few scoobs over the years, but think that this will be it for me thanks to Subaru Europe wrecking the marque from 2005.

But i cant stop having a gander on here even tho Ive gone so to speak

Nice, I was thinking of getting a k1 cupra but think they are too pricey. I feel like the Scooby widetrack sti I a lot of car for the money regardless of age however they are too hard to find.

They have been rising for the last couple of years, JDM's seem to command a big premium still, but the clean low mileage widetracks seem to hold there price well too.

It's the traders that have bumped the price up. Rare JDM models are going for insane money. Standard uk models like wrx are going up and down depending on time of year.

As I've said before I always fine a lot of cars go up in price in summer. Could be because less people sell there cars in summer so less choice I don't know but I always find prices rise this time of year.

The K1's that are over priced are nearly always at dealers. There snapping them up just like Cheshire performance are with imprezas and whacking 3k on them.

I missed out on a couple of low mileage K1's that dealers got to first. That was months ago and there still for sale now. Greedy basterds.

Worked out well for me tho as i managed to get an "R" for K1 money (Right place right time) But you have to be so quick because the dealers are on it, big time.

What's the right price for a k1, I see them go for around 12k.

What do people think a decent widetrack is worth now? I like to keep up with prices, but I doubt I will sell any time soon.

How much would you go for a higher mileage example? Eg between 60 and 80k.

JDM prices are going up at auction in Japan due to demand. It's got **** all to do with the weather or time of the year.

AWD, all year round not for sissy's who just roll them out to polish them, wave ******* about how many BHP/torq's they have then put them away for 8 months!

Agreed the rarer JDM's are going for silly money now, That's if you can find a good one, Glad I sold the blob spec-c and got the hawk when I did as I feel it was a bargain now 😃
