Flicking through Which magazine on car depreciation the £20K WRX is quoted as losing £13,040 over the first three years at a 66% loss of value!!!
Hope thats not right anyone had experience of this situation?
What about the STI - I might go and shoot myself!!!!
had a quick look on whatcar and got a diff result for a 4 year old wrx

The STI fairs a little better mate but not by much I think parkers guide had depreciation of the STI at around £531 per month with Evo's at £381.

Doesn't bare thinking about eh?

i p/xed my 2001 X plate bugeye a few weeks ago with sti8 spoiler, fsh, 4 door in silver with 34k and got £8300 - most dealers were only willing to give £8k
i paid £10500 3 months ago for it from another dealer :-(

That would make a 2001/2 wrx under seven grand ( did I read it correct? ), I think you would struggle to find one for that.

Hmmmm indeed matey which is why I sold the scoob recently and bought the evo 8 fq330. Really miss the scoob but the evo is just ferocious.
I figure if I fancy the 06 all singing all dancing STI (320bhp as standard) then I have a better chance of not getting financially bitchslapped than if i were to sell the STI at that time.

What a car is worth and what a dealer will give you for it are 2 different things. Now you know why there are so many for sale on scoobynet.

I got £11,500 p/ex for a 2003 plate WRX (bugeye) import with 31k on the clock against a new 05 STi. Don't know if that was good deal or not but getting behind the wheel yesterday I think it was the best deal I have ever done!! Especially as the Mrs said no extras but ppp appeared on the car - well I don't think you class ppp as an extra can you?!!!

Try getting a 2001 Bugeye at a dealer for less than 7k - that would be a miracle!!

Most dealer still chance their luck at minimum £12000 for a new age.

That's not how it works though is it! The values are for trade in. Of course privately you'll get more and dealers will mark up hence not seeing them for under £7k. Effectively it's the price people sell them at, NOT buy them at if that makes sense

mr mash

you will only loose that kind of money if you sell the car!!! do as i am doing f**k the garages and keep the car till it falls to bits then in 15yrs or more buy a new car and do the same again £19500 when i bought it new, £00000 when i scrap it say after 15yrs use = £1300 depriciation per year = far few subaru main dealers lol
