Question

Right the car is at dealers just waiting on a little prep work but should be ready in week or so.

Details: XPlate Classic DMB, 31k, full Subaru History, Just Serviced, Prodrive Exterior Pack & Engine Pack, Alarm etc etc

£12,500

Does this sound ok or could I do better?

Paid 16k for mine (X reg 8.5k miles, no prodrive stuff) 18 months ago (and still smilling), so sounds like a good deal to me, have seen them on forecourts for about 14k recently.
Enjoy...

Bought an X Plate MY00 Wagon with leather interior and a few other goodies, mechanically standard for £12,995 at the beginning of Dec so seems about right to me.

Try looking at the Subaru approved section of the Subaru web site, that should give you some indication

Hi,

Bought MY00 classic, PPP, Suspension and Big brakes, 36k miles - at the beginning of Dec 2003 for 14k

Personally i dont mind the few extra pounds for the piece of mind and good after sales care i have received.

Your price sounds about right

Smiles all the way

Question

Hi Tainton

For a dealer supplied car that sounds pretty good. I'm about to put my MY00 X plate Dark Blue Mica 4 door turbo up for £10,800 on Autotrader. I'm looking to get £10K for it really. It's done 40K, with full main dealer service history (never raced, always run on SUL/Optimax). It's an EU personal import but is totally standard UK spec, with Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser, aircon, quickshift gearbox, body coloured skirts, side-protection strips, Blaupunkt stereo / 10 disk changer. Taxed and MOT'd up to September. email me at greg.dickinson@lexisnexis.co.uk if you're interested.

I presume you don't get more from a private buyer if you have decat, tek, etc, etc ?

Better to return to standard, then sell the bits ?

Buy private, save £2k, get it HPI'd and AA checked, and you should be able to find one still under warranty.

Or finance some smarmy salesman's next 6 months of wine barring
