Over priced, thats Spec C money.

WR1 went for under 8k on ebay last week, so I'd say thats a 7-8k car

UK models are'nt making the money that the JDM's are and I think people are starting to twig on to this. Give a load of members 10k to spend and I'm pretty sure at least 7 out of 10 wouldnt buy a uk model.

Wow I'm surprised!

Its a 2005 with low miles and tasteful mods.

I'd say 10k was worth the money. I was under the impression 2005 blue sti scoobs were the "ones" to have?

P.s I've been out the Scooby world for the last ten years but going to sell my m3 and buy a blob sti again

It looks in great condition, but as above, it's a bit overpriced - someone will pay that kind of money though.

I'm pretty sure that last one has been up for sale since I bought mine, and that was about 5 months ago.

I have a black 05 U.K. Widetrack at 65k.

Few basic mods, manifold, Harvey up pipe, 3" decat revolution exhaust, coilovers, front rear arbs, droplinks + ALK, 18" team dynamics, 3x defi gauges, s202 carbon wing.
Few other bits I always forget.

Can't say I'd selling mine for less that 11k
Ps. Not selling :-)


I do want those side skirt extensions tho....

It's all down to what people are prepared to pay though, isn't it? If you're prepared to hold out for your price, then you'd get that kind of money.

Are there any Imprezas out there that aren't modded, even lightly?

I looked at the last one before I bought my JDM (its 5mins from where I live). I test drove that a year ago. He was after £12k at the time. Nice car but a few things that put me off such as no paperwork on any of the engine rebuild, off cuts of wood holding an amp and sub together in the boot, AP brakes were shot (dangerous tbh).

Shows how little the dealer paid for it when he bought it if he’s prepared to let it go for £8.5k and make money. Also how greedy they are to ask for £12k in the first place.

I think we're starting to see the end of the boom and the beginning of the bust. smart people will be off loading while there's still some activity in the market... hence cars that were £10k plus a few months back still being for sale now but for £8.5k.

I'd wait a few months, prices will drop further at the beginning of the new year.

Maybe because its 'that time of year' rather than beginning of the bust......?

If the car is clean and no faults on it a lot of paperworks etc I say its worth the money few months back when I bought my car I had the same chance to buy a nice subaru impreza for 10k or buy a cheap one for 8.5k stupidly I went for 8.5k end up paying to fix it, now it cost me 17k
