.............sometimes i wonder why i'm in the motortrade!!! Let me start..................why is it 'hardly comparable' as new car sales have slowed it is understandable to most that there will and would be a shortage of good used cars,therefore,it can only increase the used values of vehicles as demand outstrips supply.Why you think a dealer would want a px one day and not the next amazes me,if anything i would say that Subarus are much more desirable than most and as such i would be more than happy to pay well into book for the rite car,you only have to go onto autotrader to see the lack of stock,do a dealer network search and see some of the prices that dealers are asking,i was selling foresters in december for £9995,today i cant buy them trade for that. With regards to your Fathers RR Sport,why a dealer would offer you £6000 behind book is beyond me,especially when the deals that were on RR's have all but gone,unless its in an undesirable colour with cloth,but even then its still not £6k behind book. I have proved the point today with my X5,the car books at £15475@40k,the best bid i have had so far selling to the trade simply as a trade bid is £16700 collected,tt into my bank account and completely hassle free. So to conclude,cars are defo. worth more today than they were at the latter point of last year,no matter what car it is,if you need any advise on the RR i have several traders that would buy it for serious money,its a fantastic market to be selling subarus in currently,the only problem being lack of stock,you just have to check out our forecourt to see evidence of this. p.s that solid rear bulkhead,did you never read all those extracts that were posted up by more than me at the time stay cool Gav

as an example,go onto autotrader and do an STI search between £8k and £12k,theres only 124 cars for sale,that includes imports and high mileage cars====dealers paying what they think the cars are worth which is a lot more than what the trade books would indicate and as the trade books collate there info on sales,auctions etc hence the increase in prices over the last few months. I am currently selling my own X5,i tried to trade it in back in December and todays price is £3k more than back then....................mental!!! Gav

I would imagine that they havn't had a reply back from Malta yet,that can take ages. Gav

it is true,they have increased in value in the past three months by as much as 2grand. Gav

Where you bought it Gail LOL Gav@Ian Grieves

good cars are hard to come by at the moment,i have been paying mental money recently for STI's,it is a minefield out there so be carefull,and make sure the car you buy has full service history,dealer cars are the dearest but you do get a years warranty and no recon bills.The average recon costs on an STI are normally £1000 plus.... rear shocks ,and, at the age you are looking at have been known to have problems with bolts seizing on the front calipers,a time consuming and costly repair ontop of disc and pad replacement. Gav/Grieve Subaru

new WRX now £17995,looks good value,plenty mods now available over the pond for these cars. Gav

done under warranty providing no damage,dealer takes pictures of alloys,sends to warranty department,authorised,replaced,job done. Gav

peppermint green was a ltd edition colour for 95 only,uk market only and it is a UK car(i have checked chassis number) The part numbers you need for EBC(providing you still have the 2 pots) fronts DP3966C or uprated DP4966R,rears DP3821C or uprated DP4821R,hope this helps. Gav

irrespective whether cat c or d its value would be half that of a perfect unbumped vehicle. Gav

Was asked to put this up by one of my customers,GB270 saloon with all the extras stolen from Cumbernauld sometime over the weekend,away on holiday to come back to an empty drive, no.233 with 3m windows,leather/alcantara and the clarion sat nav. Keep an eye out Cheers Gav
