WTF.... how much?

[Plug]

Greetings, citizens.

Just a quick bitch to complain about the p*ss poor state of subaru prices.. didn't realise how bad it is has got.

Been to look at another motor today (a Merc, I'm afraid..), very tempted until I got the offer on mine as a trade in..

So, mine is as follows:

'98 UK turbo wagon, unmodified, excellent cond, maintained regardless of cost since day one (FSSH and I've got a folder an inch thick full of invoices). Aircon, tracker, and CD multichanger, all the good stuff that people look for when buying. Just over 72K miles, had the 90K service (£700!) last year. Nearly new Goodyear F1's all round.

I paid £8K for it not 18 months ago.. your challenge, people, is to guess what I was offered for it. No guesses will be considered to be a binding offer.. but if anyone is after a classic wagon at a bargain price, now is the time to sing out..

Cheers,

Plug

dread to think mate, prices are on their arse at the moment

[chrisp]

I reckon they offered you between 4K and 5K

[scooby princess]

Would guess they said about £4500 - £5500

[gunther]

£3990

[silentjeff]

£4000 ?

but its a great time for some one who was a good around car..........

i'd love to have my chance at buying one again, i'd be able to get a "rough" STi V4/5 for what i paid for 93 WRX nearly 5 years ago.

Not good news, I looked long and hard for a rare model and thank god I found one should always get a good price due to only 444 ever produced

[Robbie09]

How much then m8 i reckon around 4.5k

[blue boy]

Keep it!

It won't owe you anything in 2 years!

it is really bad, I bought my 99 classic for £10,000 over 12 months ago from a scooby dealer, hate to think what it's worth now. It's still a very good car

[steven_beattie]

i dont think part ex is much these days and i reckon with that milage it was about £3k. i like my car so im not that bothered about getting rid of it its getting abit old for my liking but its a cracking car and i only do about 4k miles a year. if anything imthinkig of keeping mine as a toy and buying a normal new car but that means i will have 3 vehicles for myself only and im not to sure if thats too many

[rasher]

less than 4k???

Prices on their arse.. amen to that.

£4300 was what I was offered.. who knows what ropey examples are going for at the moment. Pocket money I dare say, our beloved scoobys will be falling into the hands of the chav community in ever increasing numbers.

Having looked around tonight at what is available on autotrader etc., I have to say (albeit through gritted teeth) that that is all the Scoob is probably worth as a trade-in at the moment. Car dealers may be scum (and second-rate scum, at that) but they still have to earn a living, and I have a knack of buying stuff just before a market crash...

Cheers,

it doesnt matter which car you buy you will always suffer a loss on resale the next car you buy will be the same when you come to sell that as well, unless you buy a porche 911 as i was once going to buy one and when looking thru the cars the prices all vary but resale loses would be low even if kept for 5 years

[bobsru]

5.2k.... life sucks m8 but sh1t happens

[luke_clifton]

depriciation is not good thats why i plan on never selling my car if i can afford to lol my car probably worth about 3k if yours is only worth 4300k
