Was hoping that P1's would be a bit cheaper by now...but they are not!!
What is the cheapest anyone here has purchased/seen a P1 for?

ChrisS/P1

I'm not answering that one, as this kind of thread degrades prices for those of us that already have one.

Adam M

I saw one for sale.

It said 1p. although it could have been a typo!

Does it matter if the P1 has been almost written off and then repaired in a dodgy fashion????

Not that I'm implying anything.

Quickest way to find out what people are paying is to do a search of the autotrader website

heard of one go for 10k but it was mashed a bit but easyily fixable.

ChrisS/P1

In which case, mines probably only worth a couple of pints.

As long as its not a Q Plate...why?

Just messing around guys, I'm only jealous because I haven't got one of these cars.

I'll have to settle for my MY00 PPP.

Is an Sti Coupe Ver 5 or 6 a better option than a P1?

ChrisS/P1

Price wise yes. But you could have servicing and warranty problems. The only reason I bought a P1 over an STI 5 Type R, was the warranty and servicing network.
I'm probably going to upset some people by saying this, but a lot of STI imports (old shape) are stolen in Japan. Whatever you do, don't get one that's been anywhere near Dubai.

sti v/6 has different suspension, different centre diff, no abs, one airbag, warranty, gear ratio's, etc. Cheaper but quite different.

I know of a P1 that was at a Saab Dealer in Northampton and when I inquired they said I could have it for 19,500.

38,000 miles.

But very well looked after, by a member of this board, who now has a Saab

Im quite pleased the P1 residuals havent dropped like a stone, if you listened to P1 knockers you'd think they were giving them away.

I also had a sti5typeR before i had the p1. Although it was a lovely car, i really never came to terms with it. As a non track driver and an everyday user i wasn't happy with the rear wheel feel driving, esp in the wet, and the manual diff control was just a pain. I traded my 3 year old sti in for a brand new P1 and gave them £13000 on top. I feel it was a good deal. I got full subaru warranty, perfect handling car for my uses, 17" gold wheels, all important blue paint , a subtle redesign by Peter Stevens and a car that hopefully will fair better than standard imprezas to depreciation.

For me it was a better option to get a P1 over keeping the sti R, but i'd never suggest it would be a better option for everybody.

I agree, P1 and Sti Type Rs are very different. Standard Sti handling will be more similar to the P1. But, the Type R is a more intense, rawer drive.
