Default Seems to cheap to me?

Is it just me or has this RB5 just gone for peanuts?! I thought they fetched a better price tag than this, maybe I'm wrong or missing something?!?!

217,000 miles

New engine or not, you have to take into account the wear on other components like gearbox, suspension, body etc. hence the price.

Cheers for link...

217M is a fair whack but with new engine should be less?! He never mentions much about the new engine so you wonder what the hell your buying!!!

Only low mileage, mint examples will fetch good money nowadays.

The chap on here could not sell his Cat D RB5 for £2200, with 12 months MOT

Ofcourse he wouldn't get £2200 for it....

It's a standard, 100k mile rusty cat D Impreza. The car is worth £1200 at a push.
