Default Time to sell up?

Well the scoob needs to go. Maybe its not best at this time of year but the OT has just been stopped at work and if i sell now i can pay off what's owned on it and be practically debt free.
Its a 1994 JDM WRX
Currently showing 97,000 miles, but was only changed to miles when the clocks showed 90,000 (56250miles) so i estimate it to be 63,250 which is pretty low (imo).
Its got a WRSport rear box, decat centre, Z3? ECU (can't remember exactly) and an Apexi air filter. With a mid-spoiler and 17" Alloys on 4 pretty new Pzero's. I estimate it to be putting out around 260BHP but i could be wrong either way.
I'm wondering what it would be worth, i'm the only UK owner since import. (excluding the importer)
The only downside to the sale really is that i have serviced and maintained it myself, and have no real paper-work of history.

Will i struggle to sell it, is it worth me dyno'ing, or even getting an expensive major service with cambelt etc just to have the paperwork?.

Any advice/help appreciated, or you could tell me to keep it

If you can keep it keep it. If you can't at least get what you owe on it.

Not much else to say.

to be honest you are probably only looking at 2k tops in value for it as you can get 98/99 even 2000 uk models for about 3k

Im guessing around the £2k.

From a buyers perspective, it's a 14 year old import with no service history with a big service due.

Additionally, it'll cost you c£600 to service it properly, you won't add £600 to the value of the car however...

True, but uk models aren't quite as quick and i'd imagine a little less sought-after.

I'd be amazed if anyone felt the same. I would not consider a 94WRX unless it was well under £2K and I mean well under.

I'd be happy spending 4K+ on a minter than mint late UK turbo.

I actually want an STi RA model but you get the idea.

*cough cough*
my uk is 326bhp so slightly more power ...

as for uk models not being so sought after , once upon a time you were probably right , but with the cost of things and insurance being cheaper for them they are just as popular... as with a few hundred quid can match or better the performance of a wrx

I'll go for £2k if your lucky fella.

Sorry, but there are plenty of older 93-96 silver wrx's floating about in the market. Had one myself so speak from experience

Keep it I say, can you not get a part time job to help pay?

to be honest if your modding it with a remap etc it doesnt really matter. I had a 92 wrx, my next scoob will be a late uk classic. Not really bothered with the likes of air con etc, never use it anyway.

I got rid of mine last decemeber due to upcoming redundancy and birth of first child. I regret it everyday I drive to work, as although I think my current car is okay (dont laugh 1997 16v calibra) it isnt a patch on the scoob

Keep it, you know it makes sense

At the auctions last week 2 of these went through both at £1400 and £1475! The buyers market at the moment is proper crap!

Good luck with the sale!

Keep it unless you're utterly desperate. It's realistically worth about 1500 quid

Sorry but just enjoy it!

Ahhhh! Thanks for all the input fella's. I still owe £3800 on it, lol only paid £2700 but had a loan put on top of another loan and have regretted it since. The scoobs sitting currently untaxed and un'mot'd outside costing me a sweet £160 per month without driving it anywhere.

Theres someone selling a 96 wrx with 313bhp I think it is and he can't get £2k for it. You do see a lot of these going for £2k on ebay though so try your luck on there if I were you.
