Sad to see that this is all they're going for now, but quite interested in this one.

Definately a sign of the times although some people would be put of by the £450 tax bracket . Alot of car for the money if its straight.

Just e mailed them for a few details,

Hi, does the car come with full service history, has the cambelt been changed? Is there any documentation to back up mileage/service history?

How many owners?

What sort of condition is the bodywork in, any stone chips, scratches, dents etc.

What sort of standard (included in sticker price) warranty comes with the vehicle?

What part exchange price range would I be looking to achieve for an 2003 (03) Impreza WRX, red, 55000 miles, Fully documented FSH, excellent condition for year?
I get the feeling I'm going to get *** raped with the part ex valuation somehow.

Must just not like the iPhone then.
They've come right down over the last 12 months haven't they! I didn't realise you could get one for 9k though

Thanks for that.

This is the reply I got when I emailed them:-

Hi thanks for your reply, The car in question has full service history and we have serviced and mot’d the car while here, It has had 3 owners from new and is in very good condition, The service book and owners manual are in the car. You would get a standard 3 month warranty unless you wish to purchase a longer one.

So we don’t mess around as there are other salesmen trying to sell this vehicle, What would you accept in a deal for your part-exchange, Bearing in mind the low price of our car.
TBH I wasn't expecting showroom condition for the price, however cars that are a bit tatty cosmetically usually haven't been looked after too well mechanically either, I find.

The lack of any documentation with the service history is also a bit off putting, mine has a folder full of receipts/invoices for everything that's ever been done to it and I'd really expect something similar with any car I purchased.

The problem is that's probably why it is so cheap
