clan2_uk Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I have been toying with the idea of selling my scoob (2003 WRX, UK car, 15000 miles with a couple of extras) and going for an A4 diesel or a new model Golf GT TDI as a change of job now means I will need to use my car during the day. Two dealers later and both told me that they would have to phone me the next day with a valuation because they just wouldn't sell a Subaru on their forecourt. Then the phone calls came in, both between £10000 and £10500 !! yes for a 2 year old car. A phone call to a Subaru dealer later and "yes that is about the right price although we would probably retail it for about £14500." Apparently for a few months a WRX was losing £700 a month. I am now totally pxxxed off and looking at different options of what to do now and this includes never buying another Subaru.
Gumball Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 asked for a trade in price today out of interest. 2003 53 sti type uk slightly high mileage £16000 theyre dropping like ...............whatever, its bad
wrxmania Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 £10,000 - oh dear!!! What would a 2001 Bug-eye be worth then
jamie_wood Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Dont know what they are worth now!! Tried to sell mine for around 14K but no takers at all!!! Only one call from a bloomin spoon! The cars only 18 months old too. Problem is that I cant offer finance I guess!! Everyone lives on the "never, never" these days
clan2_uk Posted July 5, 2005 Author Posted July 5, 2005 I think I will try the autotrader for a couple of weeks maybe around £13K and see if there is any interest, I'm not holding out much hope right enough but its probably worth £39.
fai17 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 look every car loses money .some are just worst than others.but i bet no other car has given you the same delights as a SCOOBY. i lost about £1200 on a Mini over 2 years which is great.but dont let that get you down , just deal with it and drive it for longer m8.
