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

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...

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.

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?

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

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.
