Whats my car worth - 03-plate Blobeye WRX

[oobster]

As above.

Car was first registered in March 2003 and I am the third owner on the V5 (S&S registered it as they used it as a demo car for a month before the 1st proper owner bought it).

Car has done approx 43,500 miles and is MOT'd until end of March 2008. Tax only has 2 months to go though.

Full dealer service history (S&S and Ian Grieve) + 2 interim 5K oil & filter changes @ Hypertech.

Paid £3.50 online for a Glass valuation and it came back with a figure WAY below what I was expecting.

For reference, Eden Subaru in Fife have (or did have last week when I last checked) a March 03 Red Blobeye WRX with 43K on the clock for £11,995. It's got the PPP kit fitted though, but otherwise looks completely standard.

Cheers in advance for the opinions.

Andy,

if your selling it as is(ie everything left on) I'd expect to get atleast £10.5k for your car.

Whats glass' saying?

...and you wouldnt have any problem selling it either[Y]

Well I don't want to post up what Glass says as if I do decide to sell it on here then folk might say "You said Glass valued it at XXX".

I found a guy over on SNet advertising his red blobeye WRX, standard apart from the PPP and it's a March 03 car as well, but with 60K on the clock and he's wanting £9.5K.

If I was selling then the car would be going 'as is' - i.e with all mods. Plus the spare set of 18's, and all the other standard bits i've got lying around. Only thing i'd be keeping would be the reg. plate.

BTTT - anyone else with an opinion?

Hi bud, I buy and sell scoobs all the time.

 Your looking at 9k !! Main problem for you is colour.

 However its clearly well maintained so private sale hopefully youd get 9.5k

 12k-12.5k is the price for a 03 sti with ppp with less miles than yours.

Realistic prices are £8k trade-in at best and private sale £10k tops due to condition.  You could price it higher but may need to wait a while - not something you really want to do with cars as they never reap the investment.

Good luck if you do sell - there will be a buyer out there who will appreciate the condition and care.

It's a lovely car its worth only what someone will pay for it. Bear in mind that you can get a brand new WRX from Motorpoint for £13k ish

Andy, if you do decide to sell, I hope you get what your looking for her [Y]

Some lucky sod will get a cracking car and will have their work cut out keeping it in the same condition that its accustomed to .
