Thumbs up Apparently I can't sell my scooby here?

So I won't even try by saying it's an MY04 with 63k on the clock
WRX PPP Silver 265BHP. Great Condition apart from cracked front lower bumper and a small hole in rear lower bumper. 2mm diameter rust spot on driver side post. It's gone up on auto trader tonight. Pictures to follow.

Interior is immaculate. Comes with wrx carpet inserts and quick shift gears

Asking £4995.

don't worry, with the lack of information in your ad, no pictures and the price - you can't sell your scooby here

You need to pay to sell like the rest of us. The Moderaters will remove your ad soon anyway.

I'd say your about right, you won't be selling it on here looking like that for that price.

A serious question, do you expect to get that kind of dorrah for a WRX that needs new bumpers?

Mint classic for sale on eBay at the mo from looking at the pictures, didn't have much interest in the blob either! First person who actually turned up did buy it though.

I feel like I shot myself in the foot a little bit...picked up a 53 plate WRX in near immaculate condition with FSH and 57k miles for £5295 although it was bought in Lowestoft...cars have an added premium here unfortunately but a 6 mile journey was worth the extra cost....more to the point...I have only been a scoob owner for a month and cant say I would part with nearly 5k for a scoob that required work

I agree I went to see one in Riply Derbyshire looked good in the pics but got there after a 2 hour drive and not so good in the flesh even had half a second hand chassis leg and front panel in it. Said it was mint even after telling him im a panel beater

What a douche... that really boils my ****!! I don't see why people have to try and polish a turd

I have always been honest, sometimes too honest, with my descriptions and pics just because I know how it feels to be let down when driving for hours. I'm assuming you found a decent one in the end?

Way off. You guys should be happy. There appears to be a reasonable value to 10 year old WRX PPP MY04's with 63K on the clock.

Congratulations on the sale ! Even more surprising given those horrible ebay mats tbh !

It was hard to buy a wrx 6 months ago when i was looking ,,, nice ones sold fast ,, best way is to save the searches so when new ones are updated to the trader etc you get insta alerts,, i rang mine just ten mins after the guy placed the ad and he was shocked ,, i agreed to drive the 2 hours to his there and then and i bought it ,, his fone was literally ringing off the hook with calls

Minor cosmetic issues though. Bodyshop could sort it for a fraction of the price of main dealer. (I was quoted 2K to replace front and back sills)
Interior is mint-ish
FSSH
Quick Shift
Low mileage
