Was that against a new WRX? Seems a good price for a 6 year old car.

Tried to justify the STi, but I managed to resist due to the seat base being a bit too tight on my legs. What a crap excuse, maybe it was that huge bonnet scoop, or the fact that it was £6K more expensive that did it!

Great choice mate, is it run-in yet and are you happy with it?

That's a good price against a Wrx, I wonder if they'd offer the same against an STI?

The price they have offered you is around trade per CAP, so I suggest they have a little more to go yet ..........

Yep, sounds good to me. As per the post above, just check in For Sale and you'll see that similar cars are changing hands for much less.

Exclamation

The trader is being very generous or just desperate for your custom !!

I'd say 11k px price, 12.5 to 13k for him to retail it.

13k excellent deal, and with the mileage being high !!!

Just IMHO of course

That's a great price,I'd snap his hand off if I were you!
Offered £13K for mine (MY01 and back to standard) against a new one this week.
So bearing in mind that you have the really old shape,treat yourself!

I must be going blind -

trade at 30k miles would be £11,750, so reduce by around £500 for the extra 7k miles = £11,250

My book is also a month old, so say £11k

Therefore it appears you have done very well !
