It surely must be £19,995. The mileage is not that high really. If it is £10k I will buy it tomorrow am

They have another for £18k with 18k miles, so maybe the price is right.

C'mon then who bought it? I e-mailed the dealer Sunday night and called them first thing Monday morning only to be told that there were 3 blokes already there waiting to buy it!!!

Someone has bagged themselves a bargain.

This is the ideal car for someone who asen`t got alot to spend on a subaru who will only be using it for the odd day out .
Then in 3-4 years the milage will become average and will probably be only worth a few quid less than it is now.
What a bargain for this LTD Edition.

Got to be snapped up by now.

Scooberators - Exactly why I tried to buy it on Monday morning I only do about 7k miles a year so it would have been perfect for me. Had it all agreed with the missus, and she even said she would pay half of the cost

Rang them though first thing Monday and it had gone Deeply gutted as I was well after it and would have driven down with cash yesterday

Cool

Well, probably the best thing anyway - getting married next July and so far haven't saved up a penny, compared to the fiancee's £2k - oops

So probably shouldn't be buying cars spur of the moment

was there anything not quite right about it?

I know it's up on miles but it's not like a dealer to give a car away - esp if they have another for 8k more. to me it looks like they want shot of it because these cars can't take high mileages?well

I have a MY00 (Jan 2000) with <70k (and aircon) that I was thinking of putting up for sale at around 10k in the next few months. OK, it's only just less than 70k (69.8k ). I was thinking I'd have to PX it as no-one would be interested in it at that mileage.

It's the only one owned by me, which makes it limited to an edition of 1

Seriously, it's a year newer.

the fact they have another for 8k more.

I know mileage has a big impact but the car is still the same age as the other (i think). Near enough 50% off off above ave miles seems high from a dealer.

Glass's trade prices for an 1999 'T'-plate (they don't have prices for the RB5) with 38k miles:
Retail: 14210
Excellent: 12000
Good: 10750
Fair: 9580
and with 80k miles:
Retail: 11600
Excellent: 9110
Good: 8180
Fair: 7280

So the difference the mileage makes isn't that much.

Seems to be below retail price, so a bargain. The 90k service will set you back 700 quid though (but not me, I got stiffed for it at 60k so now won't have it until 120k).
