Question

In a couple of months I'll have the option of returning my scoob to the contract company or buying it off them with a view to selling it straight away (if their price is right obviously)...

My gut feeling about the market at the moment is that 01/02 cars are selling slowly, if at all. I don't want to get in a position where I can't move the car on fairly quickly.

By the way, my scooby is pretty special in its own right but I don't know how much difference that would make to its saleability: MY01 wagon, WR Blue, PPP, 18" anthracites with new F1s, morettes, Scoobysport uppipe and downpipe (making 265bhp, 267lbft)...

Is my assessment right or is there a market out there after all?

Cheers,
Gareth

My local dealer (SG Petch in Richmond), seems to have no probs at all selling 01/02 WRXs. Older Classics seem to sit a bit longer I've noticed though.

Be aware that mods such as the decat can affect the valve as some people find insurance harder with the mods.

Fair comment David. Many won't touch a modded car.

Well, the main reason for selling it was so I can get some value back for the mods, and not incur the cost of removing them before returning the car. If the decat will make it harder to sell that changes the picture altogether...
