Can anyone give me a realistic price I can expect to get for my 5 month old STi? (12000 miles on clock, cd changer, original 17's but sprayed anthrecite.) Baby forces house move, and my scoob is just too expensive to run.

Also, what do you all reckon as a good replacement? I was thinking of a BMW 330 diesel, bags of torque and less insurance + petrol costs.

All suggestions greatfully accepted.

TBH about 20k Private, less for part ex

Thats about right Matt
Brand new showroom model is approx £23,500.

Gaz Williams

Thanks for that.

What about replacement options?

MattW

If you want performance and economy, I would suggest looking at any of the VAG options. A 330 diesel is nice but you will pay a premium for it and will lose more with the miles you are doing.

I'd be inclined to pick up a nice Golf TDI 150 and either change it regularly or run it into the ground.

I do like the Leon Cupra Tdi though!!

Like I've said before 19k for a good one with PPP by Christmas

Need something a bit bigger, agree about the golf but want a bit more room.

A4 or Passat then or the Octavia is a very good buy if you are not badge conscious

Gaz Williams

I'll check out the A4. Didn't think they had a lot of 'poke' though?

Wouldn't something like an A4 or 330 d hold its value better than a Passat or Octavia?

Also, if the car's reasonable to insure and buy it doesn't have to be deisel, It's just that I know someone with a 330 d and I know he loves it and I also like the drive.

330d The best reall world car you can buy...

as reported in dozens of car mags...

Gaz Williams

Thats the other reason for the 330 d, all the mags bang on about how good it is, apparently the best deisel going.
