Question

QU: Does anyone know if any of the Scottish Subaru dealers are prepared to haggle a little on MY00 prices?

From this BBS, I seem to recall some folks down south getting pretty reasonable discount off current list price. I’m seriously considering selling (may be trading in?) my MY98 before residuals start to go through the floor .

Can I have your downpipe?

Seriously, you'll take a hit either way. All residual values have been effected, so you're screwed if you keep your current car, trade it in or purchase a brand new one.

Just enjoy what you have; and spend the money you save on some AP's!

PS: How about a Beer & Curry night in South Queensferry?

Presumably you already tried Nobles...
Isn't there supposed to be a new dealer opening in Edinburgh soon?

Dark - Sending you an email, but a curry night sounds good.

Rich - Nobles... hmmm. I'll probably pop down this weekend, but to be frank I just don't like that dealership's attitude of "We're the best, we'll badmouth everyone else at every opportunity". Even if they did offer me a discount I'd be tempted to take my business elsewhere.

Colin,

speak to Bob McDonald in Aberdeen on 01224 877778 and tell him I sent you. They are offering some discount on MY00s, but only about £600 I think.

Take a blast up the A9 to Aird Motors (01463 782266) in Beauly by Inverness. Great service, no hassles, worth the trip, best dealer up north.
Cheers for now

Rico,

No, that's not me (but there are two silver MY99's in the SQ area). Mine is a blue MY98, large GGR spoiler, gold 17" wheels, and an extra set of lamps hidden behind the grill.

Are you in the SQ area too?

Rico,

Yes, I'm fairly near the station too (within spitting distance).

Exhaust mods... yes - downpipe, backbox, and ITG airfilter all courtesy of Scoobysport (burble, burble ).

Rico,

KH on the 6th Oct... I thinks so! I'm sure I asked JohnS to put my name down a while back - I better contact him to see if I've got a place. Even if I don't I'll probably go along just for the "atmosphere" (smell of frying brakes!).

Rico,

Are you the silver MY99 I see going into
Edinburgh in the morning, and back from
Edinburgh in the evening to SQF?

I am a MY99 T-reg DBM 4 door with gold wheels
who goes the other way (work at Agilent
with ColinU). I think we may have waved
a few times????
