Let's say it's got 16,000 miles on it ....

It's a Private Sale ....

One Owner ....

2008 on an 08 Plate ....

Condition as one would expect ....

What should be looked at first?

Did these require the re-flash on the ECU?

And the most asked question on SN .... what's it worth?

pslewis

No-one??

The Dogs B******s

We all thought you knew everything

pslewis

I do .......

Not necessarily on the new Hatch though .....

So when will you start the modifications start Pete?

I am sure that we can advise you accordingly and I am running a Group Buy with Bob Rawle if you require it...

pslewis

It will be bought standard and kept standard ...... I want the re-sale to be maintained

Don't they come with a Knock link as standard?? You won't like that, LOL!!

pslewis

Do they NOOOOO!!!!

WeBuyAnyCar.com have offered £13,650 .... I will tell him it's a good price then and to accept it?

Just remember that they are designed to be driven properly (well at least after they have been reflashed), just remember to select the sport function when adjusting the drive mode.

After all there is no point buying an STi to drive it like an old man, drive it like you stole it Pete.

pslewis

I will not drive it like I stole it ...... it will be driven gently - if I decide to match the WeBuyAnyCar.com offer for it, that is.

Not sure if it will be any better than my Classic, in all honesty - I know that sounds daft, but I see so many on here yearning for their old Classic back .... don't want to be £13,650 down and have no classic anymore (as I simply couldn't replace mine again).

Well if you are full of doubts already then I would either blag an extended test drive from a dealer or walk away and just forget about it, all joking aside £14k is a lot to spend if you are not entirely sure.

I have driven a few classics in my time the best being an STi type RA and I have to say it is a totally different beast to even my S202, the RA was much more raw and aggresive , whereas the S202 is more civilised even though it is a limited edition lightweight track focused car.

pslewis

I did think £14,000 was a bit high ..... they claim to have paid the best part of £28,000 for it less than 3 years ago - but, I suppose, a 50% loss is about right?

You would hope it was less than 3 years ago, if it's a 2008 on an 08 (?)

Question???

Join date: Oct 2000, 25k odd posts

You would think you would know something about scoobs by now even if they are the hatch.......f**k me I'm still being broken in compared to your good self.

10 years of scoobynetting and stil not sure of prices

pslewis

Hi Newbie ..... 10 years of SNetting, as you rightly say. That would only be a valid point had the HatchBacks been available in the year 2000 .... which, of course, they weren't. So your post falls flat on its nose

Tx - is it too much, do you think? It isn't 2 years old anyway ... it is 12 weeks away from its 3rd birthday - and it's 1st MOT. Cars with effectively a 12 week MOT don't tend to be worth a great deal. WeBuyAnyCar have offered £13,650 - so I assume that's the value? I ask here in case there is a difference between that value and what they actually sell for ...... MX5's are the same, the good ones sell for far above book.

Don't see what all the cuffuffle is over requesting some info on a car?

Not £28k, £25k for a UK car standard spec

Seems cheap for such a new car.

Pete, just out of interest, is your classic an ultra low miler in concours condition?

WIZZY2376

Can a car registered in 2008 really be 3 years old in 2010 ? Mines MY08 and its only 2 years old in July . Check dealer net work prices , not much under £19k Webuyanycar are taking the p**s if you can buy a UK STI hatch for that take his hand off then sell privatley for a nice profit at your leisure.

pslewis

..

pslewis

You're right ..... it's 2 years old - not nearly 3!

I am getting on, remember!

It would seem that Webuyanycar are taking the mickey in that case - but, I can assure you they are bidding £13,650.

Have you any idea how hard these cars are to sell on? Nigh on impossible is the answer.

WIZZY2376

I dont doubt the offer mate, if they are prepared to buy quickly and hassle free. The down side is an offer well under market value . That a side, if you fancy a new car to keep that would be a steal. I really dont want to know what mines worth now, ill just go on deluding myself lol. Are you serious about buying it ?

pslewis

Haven't actually driven it yet truth be known .... just it is struggling to get any interest whatsoever, in fact zero interest.

No-one wants them it seems - is the the Tax? the fuel costs? Insurance? .... they have got so expensive .... there is also the worry that Subaru may well pull out of the UK - then, see what happens to prices!

At least my MY00 Classic isn't losing a penny anymore!

GC8

Ten years talking sh*te and knowing everything about nowt, does not an expert make.

scooby L

Lee sold his 2008 STI in under a week, so not that hard obviously!

pslewis

Nah, it's just an average condition 10 year old Classic ... I guess? Not looked at others too closely though.

Of course, it only has one owner - folder full of history and is a non-messed-about-with UK example.

The MY99 and MY00 were the best of the Classics ....

pslewis

Of course it will sell .... webuyanycar will buy it for £13,650 .... just zero interest from the public.
