I am having to dispose of my 98R 5 dr. Turbo..1 owner...me 48K miles UK car FSH various small but worthwhile mods and I'm about to accept £10,000 px on a £25k purchase...am I mad...is this akin to theft by the dealer or should I just accept it and weep?

Does sound a bit low to me. As a trade-in on a 25K car, I would expect to be getting at least 12k. I know someone who traded in a similar car and mileasge about 6 months ago and got 14.5k for it, and he felt hard done by as well.

I presume you have tried private sales, as it really sounds like too good a car to let it go for 10k.

I have a friend who might just be interested, depending on colour, condition and mods (need to be insurance friendly). I'll e-mail you tomorrow if he is interested

10k is waaaaaay too low.
Try 13k

If it gives you some idea, I traded in my car with the following specification at Subaru dealer for £12k, about 6 months ago:

MY97 UK 4 door turbo
Prodrive Quickshift
Aircon
Leather
Prodrive Suspension
MY99 spoiler
17" SuperTurmiso Alloys, with quite new SO2's
57k on the clock

That said I got myself a bargain on a 6 month old MY99! But that's another story.....
