Hi all

I considering changing my 56 plate Spec D with 37k miles, is it best to advertise here, Ebay, Autotrader or other please?

Any idea of a reasonable value. It's in good condition with a couple of chips/parking dinks but nothing else.

Thanks

Pistonheads mate, and hold out for the price you want, albeit a realistic one.

Want to sell my SpecD but can't bring myself to. MY06 10k miles.

Looking for a Spec D
how much you looking at wanting for it

MrMajic

Thanks

MrMajic

Haven't really got as far as valuing it yet, but I'd want whatever market rate is. Are you anywhere near the South West of England?

doormatty

no northeast

MrMajic

Ok, I'll let you know if I get serious about selling privately, still deciding at the moment.

Great cars though!

If you advertise on here, you will unfortunately get plenty of doom mongerers telling you there's no market for these cars and that their mate saw one near to where their uncle used to go fishing and a bloke there got one with lower miles /better spec / condition than yours for lots less. As above, though. Do your homework, know its value, adjust that for your mileage and condition, then put it on Pistonheads. Best of luck with the sale when you get around to it. How come you're selling?

MrMajic

Just fancy something that does loads of mpg. Probably a diesel bmw touring, or maybe honda.

Our lass has a honda s2000
if you want a swap i hate it and she hates my prodrive lol

MrMajic

Thanks, we used to have one, great cars. I'm wanting a diesel estate next though!

doormatty

lol
yeah you know how i feel with the petrol consumption on both cars then lol

Thought about selling my 56 plate SpecD, but with 81,000 miles on it I've decided its not worth selling, and also its probably the best all-round Impreza out of the 5 I've had. Going to keep it for another 12-18months at least.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, I'm still slightly undecided, as replacing the car will cost me around £12k - I'm looking at 320d touring as they seem to tick all of the boxes. Can't really interest myself in the likes of the Accord tourer or Mondeo tourer.

The trouble is, that if you love the car and are only really thinking of changing for mpg reasons, then the £12k difference is an awful lot of petrol.

I dismissed changing for exactly that reason.

If you fancy a change of car full stop then fair enough. Any reason for a touring ??

Spec D to a diesel estate is a bit of a difference, especially as you seem to be undecided.

Gareth

MrMajic

You're quite right, on fuel alone it's around £1,400 per year more than a good diesel. With two small kids though, we'll be wanting to all be off together soon, and the wife's civic isn't really big enough.

Blimey ! don't suppose the seats feel any better being broken in for that extra 71k miles

MrMajic

Well all, I traded in and got £11k for the car against a 320d M sport on a 58 plate. Happy with the deal, as I don't have time to host tyre kickers.

Thanks for all of the help and advice over the past 18 months.

I will miss waving to other Imprezas, but won't miss my Optimax bill!
