Default Is my RB5 WR Sport worth selling??

Bought it from new 4 years ago and it's been garaged for the last 2 of em

From memory it's only done about 18000 miles and most of those have been pampered.

I did want to keep it as a collecters item hence the low mileage but time has come for me to make a decision to sell it or not.

I guess it all depends on the price it would fetch and I have no idea what its worth as I have lost touch completely.

I've seen some decent Imprezzas going for as little as 5 grand and if it won't fetch much them i'll keep her.

any ideas what it's genuinely worth?

I was offered £11500 trade in on mine against a new STi. Mine has 42000miles. I believe you could probably sell your one for between 12-13000 due to low mileage.

You could probably sell it privately for £15k.
The low milage is a massive bonus..
Any other mods, or just PPP?

How is my wife to find the kerb without that nasty scraping sound to guide her in.!!!!!!!!
Good luck selling yours tho,mine has been up for sale for a few weeks,although it is not the WR version it has low mileage and is mint except for the parking scuffs.

£15k for a non WR version?

I guess I should see £14'500 all day for mine then.

Any ideas where's the best place to advertise it, apart from Autotrader ?

Well it is worth selling rather than let it rot away in a garage....

£15K sounds about right, but you may have to wait around for the right buyer to come along, judging by the fact that it has just been collecting dust I wouldn't expect that to be an issue for you.

I Part Exchanged mine Last November for £15K - it too was a WR SPORT with low (21K) mileage - I think the dealer got nearly £18K for it.
