Default Mackay Trading Edinburgh...

Just looked at their website. '93 K WRX, 56'000 miles.... "only 8995" !!!! '94 WRX "only 9995"... Are they having a laugh??? Also they quote all their '93 WRX's as 256 bhp.... surely they mean 256?

your point being?

It's trade, WTF do you expect? If anyone buys at what a Dealer advertises a car for then your off your head anyway.

I have no intention of buying from them, it just amazes me that they have the cheek to ask 8995 for a car that usually goes for 4495-5295 !!!

A Dealer will always try it on - there's always someone who'll pay that sort of price. Just do a search on the Subaru website and you'll see loads of cars advertised at some ridiculous prices. Of course, selling them for next to nothing helps no one in the long term and is just de-values a car. Fine if your a buyer, but even if you buy it cheap, the residuals will just keep tumbling.

It does have very low miles for a 10/11yr old car

Talking

McKay Trading are notoriously expensive but their cars do appear to be better quality (in general) compared to a certain company somewhere near the Calders..

PS This is based on my own search for an import so it is factual
