Default WRX Blob? That'll be 16 grand, sir

OK so it's only done 850 miles, but it's hardly the most desirable model of Impreza that Subaru ever produced is it?

very rare at that mileage, but not worth that sort of money, unless a collector wants it, but highly unlikely as car to new. Maybe if stored another 10 or fifteen years it will be worth more to the right buyer, but defo not going to get that much of a premium as if used daily will still be worth same as all the others when it comes time to sell.

Thats just ridiculous, you can get a good clean WR1 for less money, and a RB320 for only a little more, the guy is just trying it on.

Default What a waste ...

Who on earth would buy it No way will sell at £16k. That will remain unsold for years unless he drops the price!

Unhappy

That was for sale when I was looking for another STi just after Xmas! (It fell into the Hawk STi price range even then )
I see it has the 'special feature' 55 plate 2/3/4tone paint effect (my 55 reg STi was 4 different shades of blue from the factory!).
Reckon it's worth less than a 20k miles car if unused from new, say £5k max?

You what??? £5k???

A typical WRX300 is up for £9-10k on Autotrader.

Yes, it is overpriced, but it has still got to be worth around that.

It's one of a kind ..... and worth what someone will pay - only needs one buyer.

To my mind, it would be a waste to buy as an everyday car .... something special for the weekends? Yeah why not?

Nah - Again glad I spotted this thread - I have as 'Dogs *******' seen the car too - is very nice looking and is clean as like - its stored inside his small garage and even the dust has settled.

I maybe tempted to go and make him an offer - Wonder how much it is worth realistically... anyone got a black book ? Perhaps see how much webuyanycar would buy it for LOL

Just seen another one for sale with 30,000miles on the clock and its selling for £8k...

Had It,s 1000 Miles Service At 850 Miles At The Local Subaru Main Agents And As Remained Unused Ever Since

the phrase unused ever since may concern if drive system, diffs, shocks, engine etc has sat stationary for the last 5 years
