Used Newage STI Prices
I have just had a look at the Parkers Price Guide on line and the prices of used cars are a lot lower than I can find a car for 
Is the guide way off or are people just holding out hoping the used market picks up.
Here are the prices it says for average 60,000mile cars.
02 STI Good condition Private sale £5290
02 STI Prodrive Good condition Private sale £5950
03 STI Good Condition Private sale £7065

Just because people are asking more doesn't mean they ever get it - like houses, vendors are sometimes willing to hold-on.
Desperate sellers have to abide by the rules of supply and demand.

for glasses search use Vauxhall and click the value my car tab 
I even think glasses is currently wrong on PX prices.
Also alot of dealers use that GAP system for auction prices to value cars.

humble apologies, it's all boll*cks really, imho.
It's down to market/condition at the time, a tidy car with low miles will make more, but only worth what you will pay for it.
Dealers have got to be hurting, stock sat is no use to them.
Make a low offer and smile.

LOL, Says mine's worth £6K, I spent that on it last year !

Yeah I think they are fetching much more than any of the guides say I have just offered somebody £6700 for a low mileage 02 Prodrive but didn’t get an answer so I guess that a no 
I have been offered a 03 STI for £7500 so maybe go for that just a bit more money that I have right now
I hate to borrow money

wisebuyers, lol. mine apparently is only worth 7.5k
was offered 3 grand more than that just last weekend. what a crock of crap.don't see people selling V5/6 sti's for 4k so how can a 5 year newer car be worth the same money?
sorry to say it but there's some daft ***** on this site.

you're finding out what most people are finding, valuation sites are very misleading to what the market value is.for example try finding a tommi mak evo 6 for within 4 grand what a valuation site/glasses/parkers will tell you what its worth. if you paid what they recomend you'll have the doggiest piece of crap going, yet some people will dig their heels in and say that's all it's worth.
funny old game

Your white Impreza will obviously fetch a premium, because its rare (and very nice), if it was a standard blue car then you'd be lucky to get much more than guide price if you were trading it in - thats if you could find a garage to take it in part-ex as most garages aren't interested in them because they know they'll be stuck with them unless they let them go for peanuts.
The fact that its a buyers market means very nice examples at reasonable prices are still being bought, but at no where near the prices enthusiasts would have you believe, holding onto a car now expecting the price to rise is a false economy.
I gurantee prices will fall as things get worse, you haven't even seen the proper effects of the recession yet, just the fringes of it while the government try to offset the damage...and thats not even counting the rise in tax, fuel and insurance this year.
I'm looking for another car atm, I have cash to spend, I've enquired about a few cars and every single one has knocked a grand off the price before I've even been to view them, and I've seen the same cars in adverts for the last few months, not selling.
To be honest I'm reluctant to part with any cash this side of April, why pay 14k for a car now that will be worth 10k in less than 6 months.
Of course I could be talking rubbish and no doubt someone will be along to tell me so...but whats the betting I'm driving another STI soon for 4k less than I would have paid before Christmas.

Xtreme sold an Evo 8 GSR with 24k miles for eight grand last week! Their prices are normally high but you can only sell for what people are willing to buy at.
Not having a go fella, just countering your argument with how things are atm.
I could advertise my car for 20k, doesn't mean I'd get anywhere near that price.

no, fair comments icarus it's an odd one with cars at the mo, i'm being offered the same price for mine now as i was in oct. but i know what you're saying about a more common colour.
just winds me up a bit when people allways bang on about a buyers market, car enthusiasts are a funny lot and will find the money to get the car they really want.
not saying it's not a shrinking market, that's pretty obvious. it's just not as dead as people make out.
an evo 8 really went for that?? if i'd known that i would have sold up in a heartbeat last week!
or was it fecked?

No mate, it was spot-on, Xtreme won't sell a bad motor will they, reputation at stake.
I was actually all set for buying it myself, but I'm abroad and the project here is running over schedule, so my vacation has been delayed until 15th Feb. I came within a wisker of paying for it over the phone without even seeing it but decided to wait.
They also sold a 2007 WRX with low miles for 8k the same weekend.
What you say about car enthusiasts is exactly right, and thats why its always worth hanging on a bit for the right buyer, but unless you've got something a bit special then there is nothing to make them stand out from the dozens of other cars for sale, and with salesmen not reaching targets and jobs being lost you can bet they'll be willing to haggle, even selling at cost just to move them on.
That then has a knock on for private sales.
In a nutshell if you can afford to keep your car then by all means keep it, you've nothing to gain by selling now. If you do need to sell now then better to let it go a bit cheaper and get a sale rather than have it sitting for months losing more money.
I'll just wait until I see the right motor at the right price, I'm not out to rob anyone but I'll only keep it a year and then change again so I'm not going to rob myself either because at the end of this year things will be worse still.

Back on topic; Its a buyers market at the moment, I have a MY05 STI PPP for sale in France (thats where I live). If you can find an STI like mine here (PPP pack not an option in France) in good nick (impossible) you'll be paying around 26,000 euros for it
. Second hand car prices are very high in France. The STI is a very rare and desirable motor here. I thought I'd put mine up for 15K, it's RHD, French registerd car thats 11K below the market value and because its RHD I havent had a sniff. The car is mint with only 23K on the clock, I need to sell to fund an Exige S, but looks like I may have to keep it.

That’s what I had in mind I wouldn’t have got anything like what I did for mine in the UK but it want easy registering a jdm car (IT WAS MINT THO) and I can run it for a while without losing money but the £ is low against the € and I bet it doesn’t last.
