After toying with a euro-import, I'm going to trawl a couple of local Scooby dealers tomorrow, and was wondering...

What sort of deal has anyone had out of a franchised Scooby dealer on a brand spanking, or ex demo, WRX recently??? Outright purchase price, low finance deals, freebies, toys, etc.???

The sales guy has initially bitten when I said I wanted to get it OTR for less than 20K - and surprisingly he has a WR Blue in the showroom that is 'just the thing sir'.

As the insurance is less than my current N plate FTO GPX (nearly fell off my chair) even without a Tracker (group 75 for FTO, 73 for WRX) - and, heck, is only another 110 quid for an STi - we could be in business this weekend......

FYI - I paid 602 renewal for my FTO in June - so 110 on top for the STi isn't bad at all.... And no difference if it is a Euro import or pukka UK sourced.

Any recent dealing experiences that anyone is prepared to divulge would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I am sure he can probably do you a WRX OTR for under 20K but I would doubt he would you an STI for under 20K OTR (because you mentioned STI insurance) or have I misunderstood what you are saying ??

I'm interested mainly in a WRX.... but... never say never to an STi, if the deal is right!

I had originally discounted it due to the probable insurance hit - but at 35 it seems not to make that much difference, so it remains a possibility.

We'll see....

 

Brand new MY02 UK spec Euro import WRX can be had for about 16K maybe 1K either way.

 

I had some good experiences with Beechdales at Nottingham (speak to Beechboy) and Donaldsons Peterborough (Jed's the man). Both could approx. 6 weeks ago get OTR for around the price you are after.

My STI arrives in September!!

 

Just got my deal sorted yesterday. Full UK spec with morette lamps, white lenses for 20k

 

Dont go WRX, STi is the way, you'll only regret it, trust me, I lost 12k on my 6 month old WRX when I went upto an STi

 

12K in 6 months ouch, on my 2 year old dodgy grey import classic shape MY00 WRX , I was offered 6K less than I paid for it new as a part ex on a new STI/EVO a few weeks back . Looks lile the classic imports are holding their value better then .
