unfortunately might have to sell, whats it worth?
 
Unfortunately i'm thinking of selling the impreza (Nige's old car!), reason being i think i'm going to need a bike again for work for the 80 mile daily commute to london. I only use the car a few times a month and can't justify running two cars and a bike at the same time.

reason for post is i have no idea of what the car is worth in the current climate, dealers tend to be selling impreza's for stupid money, people who advertise their prized possessions on other forums seem to get shot down for the prices their asking! And i can't find anything for a similar spec to mine for sale at the minute.... if i can justify keeping it then i won't sell it but this seems the only logical way at the moment long term.

any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

spec as below....
2009 sti 2.5 short engine
Scoobyclinic TD05-20G turbo

The fact Nige owned it before you must de-value it vastly :wink:

No, in truth, a lot of us know this car well from when Nige had it, when Nige had it, it was a well sorted scooby. In truth I don't know a vast amount of what Greigs brother did with it and how good it was after he fettled with it.

It's incredibly hard to put a value on it, as it will never get you back what it's worth, what with all the modding that has gone into it. My guess is it will be worth not that much less than you paid for it to be honest, whatever that was?

Tomma 02-08-2011 01:10 PM

Greigs brother fitted the wheels, oil cooler, injectors, Hks exhaust, anti lift kit, subframe spacers, anti roll bars, coilovers and Simtek.....

I can't fault the car at all, love it to bits but its head over heart at the moment!

I eventually paid 8400 for the car, i know what i'd accept for it if i sell it..... its not that much tho!

worzel 02-08-2011 01:27 PM

Going on that then, you have to be looking for about £7500 - £7750.

I'm sure you will have no bother selling at the that kind of price.

GLWTS mate :ok:

I think the quick turn around of the last 3 owners would be the only thing that would worry me if i didnt know all 3 of you

Go on Rob buy it and drive up and down Nige's road, so he can here the scooby sound and see a real silver performance car actually moving around town rather then too and from Rye (more often too, then from).

Nige 02-08-2011 10:08 PM

Oi mr std car when you take a risk or two things can go & do go wrong. Not the cars fault i might add. Anyway you can't drive past my house. The road ends 20ft away & is protected from Scoobs. :drive:

Love to buy it just wind Nige up.:D. I'm a bit mean when it comes to offering a price for a car.... So can see me sticking with and playing with my classic saloon for now, and may be a blob/hawk or even a hatch STI at some point.

Tomma 23-08-2011 08:44 PM

Good news for me!! No longer need to sell the car, the riots and looting in london have meant i've done enough overtime the last couple of weeks to finance a small war....... I haven't had a day off work since July, slept hardly or been home for the last two weeks, her indoors has got the raging hump too but hey ho it's been worth it now i can keep the impreza!:ok:

Got enough funds saved now to sort out my commuting issues and even throw a few quid at the car too :smile:

Anger 23-08-2011 08:55 PM

Great news mate... the riots have done the same for me aswell:)

Knackered is an understatement, i've been lost in space the last few days!

There'll be more to come I'm sure, i'm gonna see what odds PaddyPower will give me on Notting Hill turning into Armageddon this weekend!!
