Unhappy

I'm looking at getting rid of my Scooby and I've been looking around a few garages, I went to one Garage today and looked at a Saab Viggen Convertible. I was offered £5,500 for my 95 WRX with 80,000miles... I paid £11,000 for it 2 years ago. I was shell shocked to say the least.. I mean what's that bad about this ??



O.M.

The car market sucks..

Nothing at all Octane, its just the way the second hand market has gone. All you can do is buy a car thats someone else has lost money ' hand over fist ' on,

What u gotta remember is that the car is worth more than that and the dealer gives it a clean puts it back up for sale at least 2k more than he's just given you for it.

I paid 8k for a Golf VR6, spent 2k doing it up had it 12 months and let it go for 4.5k

Its a loose loose situation

O.M,
Absolutely nothing is wrong with it, it looks the biz. So why not stick two fingers up at the trade and keep it!

If you advertise it on here you will get a good price for it.

I had a Saab before the Scoob and the local Saab garage offered me a pathetic sum in part ex, hence my sticking two fingers up at Saab and buying the Scoob. I didn't know they made a Viggen convertible?

O.M,
If you do decide to part-ex, I'll have the splash guards off you for a fair price
