Default RB320 - sluggish sales ??

newregcars.co.uk have big discounts on RB320 - surely Subaru UK must be struggling to sell them ??

from what I can make out on here they technically have sold them all - to their own dealers. Pre-Reg is such an old and not very cunning ploy

TBH I'm not that keen on the look of them - but I seem to be alone in that opinion, I'd much rather a standard 06 STI. (No offence to those who own them meant - just a personal taste thing*)

*and I drive a bugeye so what do I know right?

All the cars have been ordered and NONE have be pre-registered. Some may well be Dealer's demos but they have all been sold against an order.

I would agree with you, I am not that keen on black, and not that keen on the front grill. I would still take your arm off if you offered me one for free though

would have been nice if you could get one in Rally Blue and not black blue is the Subaru Rally colurs, and Richard Burns was their driver.
Cheers

Richard Burns was not driving for Subaru when he passed away.

It is a Richard Burns MEMORIAL car, and i think it is nice that it is a bit different... but then I am biased on the colour!

The RB5 looked nice in GREY also!!

All the RB320s were sold on the 16th March.

These cars are now selling for a premium from dealers.. If newregcars can sell them, buy the lot! Autotrader have them listed from £36k to £40k. List price c~£32k.

Newregcars also doesn't seem to mention the actual saving. Now that would be interesting.

You're not the only one!

Don't like the grille, like black mind, but would get a standard 06 and tweak to my preferences.

The RB should hold it's money better, but still wouldn't get me owning one.

I think as a memorial item the RB320 is awesome and credit to Subaru for hailing a guy who really assisted in putting them on the map.

As a car, i personally dont like it though. I personally feel the 'Hawkeye' is only a acceptable looking motor in White.. which with the right mods can then be made to look awesome. (Example: https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...rting-bit.html )

Had a look on that newregcars website - I like how they give you the option to have it driven to you for £150 or transported for £300....as if anyone would want a 'delivery driver' hammering it to their doorstep!
