Hi, after owning the car for 4 years I am thinking of selling. Before I put it up I just wondered what you all thought about value.

Is 03 plate, blue with PPP and the 18" speedline alloys (power coated in anthracite and remapped to about 340bhp. Suspension and brakes all changed 3 years ago with new prodrive springs and new KYB ultra. Car only done 14K miles on them and 57K in total. Car was dry stored for 5 years in air conditioned garage before I owned it so is very good for age. Cambelt done, aux belts, battery, plugs, filters, oils - wants for nothing.

What do you all recon for a fair price?

Cheers

 

6k?

 

Who mapped it, service history, tyres, quality of parts used will all effect the price.

 

7k ish.

 

should have had 2x cambelt changes at that age, low mileage doesnt always equal well maintained.

 

The car was dry stored for 5 years as in never driven. I bought it nearly 4 years ago and had the cambelt changed. The car has only done 17,000 miles sice I bought it. Brand new Goodyear f1 tyres on it now.

 

I have been on this site for over 10 years and am just asking what people think it is worth or what you would pay for it - that is all.

 

I reckon 7k ish, depending on who did the mods. But from the pictures it does look a really nice example. Are you sure you're not going to regret selling it? Nice sti's are getting rarer...

 

I have a job in Spain and we are moving there in September so I was thinking of selling up. Or do I store it till I come back ????

 

How much will storage cost and how much time and cost will it take to find another and get it to that spec?

 

If you want 6k for it ill buy it tomorrow.

 

Have been looking on the internet today and I am stuggling to even find one like mine with that mileage for under £8,000.

 

If you want to completely scare yourself look at the Glasses guide price for it. Market value, i.e what insurance companies will pay out on it are nowhere near what people are asking for them. Mate of mine had this argument with his insurance last month when someone drove into the side of him and wrote it off, they offered to payout £4100 on a 2003 blob sti, he paid £5500 for it last year and despite showing them adverts for higher priced cars they said they'd checked 3 "guides" and settled on £4500.

Just remember, what people ask, what people pay, and what something is worth are 3 totally different things.

 

TypeR99, thank you for your advice however I do feel the way you word your responses is quite patronising. Cheers

 

There is nothing patronising about that post? It might not be what you wanted to hear but it is the truth....

 

With just over 50k id say £7-7.5k is sensible money and should easily sell for that. Ignore the **** heads saying its worth £6k or less.

 

If you dont like peoples opinions dont post on a public forum. Maybe ask some of your self help group what they think while you hold hands and cry about the nasty people on the internet.

 

This ^^^^^
Absolutely nothing patronising about that post.

To the op, I see your car between 7-8 k with the way blob sti's are pricing atm.
The more service history and receipts you have will push you nearer to the 8 k.
I would advertise at 8 and look at selling for 7500-7700

Just my opinion

Gonna echo the above, if it's well maintained with no major rust and well modified id expect to pay 7.5k-8k

If its just tidy, good service history (one i can be confident in) and runs well i'd pay 7K or so.


My type uk (before my JDM) i bought 3 years ago, 70k on the clock with FSH.
Overall 'good' condition with some small niggles. Paid £7,800.

Prices are holding well tbh!

 

Ironically this thread is also going on...

It's worth what someone will pay for it.
6500 would be my guess but it depends on condition,history etc.

 

More like it's worth what someone is prepared to get themselves in to debt for it... as if anyone buys anything these days with actual real money that they've got in the bank!

 

I thought it was usually new cars they rent.
The car looks pretty good so if priced sensibly should be bought by Clive performance and up for 10k soon

 

I was reading the other day that somewhere was doing pcp deals on USED cars, utter ****ing insanity.

The only reason Imprezas (and most other sports/performance/classic cars) have gone up in value so much is due to cheap and easy credit, these cars aren't suddenly "worth" more than previously, it's an asset price bubble.

 

I do get pcp for people that have company cars etc or want a decent new reliable car.
I had one as I had a car allowance.

But on 12 year old Impreza's it's madness it simply getting a car you can't afford.

Having had a blob sti for years the biggest cost is running the bloody thing.
It's like the credit crunch all over again.

 

Still a genuine 6k offer here, no credit just good old fashioned cash ! You probably will get more to be fair on likes of eBay etc..as well as all the jebends wanting to px a saxo.

 

My mate sold a similar one with 70K on the clock for 5000. I told him he was mad he said he wanted 6000 but when someone offered hard cash he needed the money so let it go rather than be stuck with it for longer advertising it doing viewings & test drives etc. Having said that it looks tidy, I'd expect to get at least 7000 for it & ask a little more so you've room to haggle, everyone likes to make an offer.

 

I don't think you understand what I am on about - However you did make me laugh.
