Greg,

Sorry, not what you're wanting to hear but in todays market I'd have thought your car is priced at least £3000 too high?

It sounds a good one but the end of the day its a five year old car. I've seen 99 STi V available for around £15k. I bought my Scoob (UK Spec) brand new via Holland last year for under £16k all in.

The Jap import cars seem to be getting harder to insure which isn't helping the second hand market.

Good luck with the sale,

Ian.

Greg,

I am afraid that the car is worth £7k trade and at best £9k private I would think. If you have any standard bits, you are better selling the uprated bits seperately and putting standard wheels, bodykit etc back on. STI V's start at £14k, 4's are around £12k, 3's make £10k and 1-2's £8-9k...

Good luck selling, sorry if you feel the prices are harsh, but have you tried to take the car to your local import dealer for a cash price (it will probably start 6 or 7 at a push)

BTW I have an older import too and am not trying to knock their values, I along with most people who ownened their cars for a while have lost more than they expected on the car! :
