Default Time to let go

I have had my Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD Wagon MY19, now apparently a classic, since 2001 and now it is time to let her go.

She is unmolested, has leather and alcantara upholstery, drives like new, looks lovely and has never let me down in 145560 miles.

Now, the question is, how much to ask for her? People have said that an unmolested classic Scooby is a rare and valuable thing.

What do you guys think?

I would say £2k if there is no rust, only because the mileage nearer to 150k than 100k will push your car lower down the list to people looking to buy. Total service history (20+ services) would move the value up towards £2500. All IMHO.

Thanks for your input both.

Disappointing news, perhaps I will hang on to her.

I'd be hanging onto it too, sounds like a keeper to be honest.
And I wouldn't want to take the risk of regretting selling it. Reliability, fun, practical, but for me above all would be sentimental value after a long bond with a good car.

Thanks Hawkeye & hedge cutter for your positive responses. How ever, upon reflexion she has to go - I just don't have room to nurture her.

Look out for her on Autotrader & Gumtree.

Cheers everyone, I may never be back here again. :-(

Sadly Subaru do not make a car that ticks my boxes anymore.

Why not put pictures up on here as you never know who might be interested

Good idea, I might just do that.
I do wonder if the image posted 18 years ago by someone who spotted her in Brugge is still lurking somewhere in the annals.

Good luck with your asking price - I really think it would help if you detailed the service history you have, to attract possible buyers ?
