Default Whats it worth?

Hi all, i have a 2006 Impreza WRX and due to financial circumstances i' am considering selling . The only problem is i have no idea what its worth. Here are the details:

2006 (56 plate) Subaru Impreza WRX
Mileage: 105,000 (mostly motorway miles)
Full service history (part dealership)
Standard apart from the afterburner cat-back exhaust (still have original)
Colour: Blue
Both sets of keys
v5
All MOT certificates
Taxed for a few months
MOT runs out this month but will have renewed it by then

Just fitted 4 brand new tyres
& Pads all round

Only 2 previous owners (1st being the garage bought from and the second being my dad)

Only bad point is that someone keyed the bodywork!

Thanks.

thats a lot of miles for a 56 plate impreza this will affect the price a fair bit i would think and keyed bodywork too.
due to the high running costs its a buyers market, i would look on autotrader to see what they are selling for and price accordingly.

what are the average mile ones going for?
and whereabouts is it keyed as if its expensive to fix that will reflect the price
i.e. one panel or 5 panels

Their mainley around 40,000-60,000 miles, and it has been keyed on the bonnet, front and rear doors on both sides and i think on one of the quarter panels.

how much are they asking for the average mile ones?
thats a lot of paint work required, i have no idea on the cost but i would think its well over £500 to put right.

Yeah it is quite alot, unfortunatly it would look ridiculus to touch-up hence why i have left it as it is for now, I have just had another look on autotrader with an extended distance and found exactly the same spec with 96,000miles on the clock up for £6000, although it is a trade seller which usually have a higher asking price.

£4500 is probably a fair price due to mileage and needing paint.

good luck with the sale hopefully you will get what you want but i think the paint damage combined with the mileage is going to make this a difficult sale as there are a lot of clean low mileage imprezas about,
you may find its so difficult to sell at a decent price you may as well keep it.

Was that a WRX or an STi?
Didn't know they did a hawk WRX in white?

OP, why did someone key the car? was it personal or something?
