Should we collect cars before or after March for the new reg. Do you think the plates make much difference come resale prices anymore. I hardly understand them myself anymore.

1st March gives you the 03 plate and the 1st is when I'm picking mine up

Its less than a month and hald away. Id hold out until then if I was buying.

Same here. I pick mine up on Friday 31st Feb ontrade plates. Just been to see the demo car in the show room. It looks great but seems to sit a little high on the springs.

MY03 on an 03 plate seems good to me

What did you think Phil,

I've just been to see it also.

mark@wrx

Where are you buying it Phil? My dad's ordered one from Gibsons of Brock. Should have his WRX in April.

Steve,
I was not really sure what to expect,
i have had mine on order since they were annouced, but i never got down to the motor show to check it out, and i am impessed now that i have seen it, the front end is a massive improvment over the MY02, although i am sure the front end will suffer from stone chips, the bonnet scoop, mmmm still not sure about this but i think i can live with it, inside is a vast improvment over my current car MY00 PPP,
Current plans for the new car are,
a,Pimp tints (not to dark)
b,New set of wheels (not a fan of gold)
c,New ICE
d,PPP or ECUTEC upgrade
e,New Matching baby seat

Mark

Phil,

I think the front end is a massive improvement although I do hope it doesn't chip as much as my P1!

The inside is good but as you said, the ICE looks usual Subaru low end stuff. I was hoping to put my Alpine CD/DAB unit in but with the new console design I can't do a swop of the new for old. How will you get your new ICE into the console unit??

I also thought the body sat high on the springs what do you think?

I have oredered the PPP, for warranty reasons but have heard that the EcuTec may be used...will have to wait and see on that one.

I get mine from Sparshats in Southampton.

Already got plate from previous car so 1st March doesn't bother me. It's still a 2003 registered car.

I think you can get an adapter to convert the Double DIN to single DIN for the stereo for about £15 from the dealer

I suspect the suspension will 'sit down' whan it has a few miles on it, i have had new cars before that look to be sitting high.
The car i saw had 18's on and it looked just right.

dont think it really matters as long as you get the price you want when trading in for a new one
