The time has come to sell my beloved car. It is a Silver Uk Turbo on a T plate which as im sure you know is the facelift model. It has covered just over 62000 miles with a full subaru service history. I have owned the car for over two years and am only selling her as i am trying to buy my first flat with my other half.

The main high points of this car is the immaculate service history. It has been serviced every six months as stated in the service manual since new. Hence I have just spent in July £900 on the 90000 mile service. This includes all the diff oils cam belt etc. No expense has been spared with her. Every thing thats needs doing gets done. The underbody service I had done last year as well.

I have an A4 folder of every penny I have spent on her.

The car is completley standard except for a Scooby sports back box ( still have the original )

I had the wheels reconditioned just after I bought the car and also had the skirts and back bumper spats colour coded. She has Goodyear Eagle F1 Gsd3s all round ( the fronts have covered about 1000 miles and the backs about 12000 but still loads of tread left.)

There are no scratches and the paint is great. Has a couple of tiny stone chips on the edge of the bonnet which obviously have been touched up. Front bumper is immaculate. Inside the car is spot on with no tears wear etc. The car has no air con or sunroof. The rear discs and pads I replaced this year and I have just bought new front pads which were £100 ( genuine subaru) which I will probably fit before I sell.

I want £7250 for her as I know she is worth every penny. I know there are cheaper ones out there of the same age and spec but none with this exclusive service history and condition. I have pics but am thick and cannot host them so it would be great if anyone can I can email them to you.

Couple of other bits I forgot.

It has 12 months tax just bought, Tracker and 10 1/2 months Mot.

Honest opinion is this a realistic price or am I too high or too low?

Honest Opinion

I got a similar car to yours, very good condition but with teh PPP fitted and struggled to get any one interested at £6500 so I gave up in the end and kept it.

Don't know what people want nowadays for the money probably a full tank of petrol and someone to wash it and free servicing all year for them!!!!!!!

pudders

Well im going to give her a good clean and a polish and I will try autotrader next week. Thanks for your help

i'd say its too high mate, the money these have lost the past few years is untrue, i'd say either face the fact that you've got to give it away or keep it and drive on, if you want the money for a flat i'd just keep the car cos say you sold it for £6k i'd rather just save it instead than let it go for that and keep the impreza

It maybe a touch high.......
I sold my 00MY "W reg" in May with 62k on the clock. It had the pro-drive handling kit (alloys, bilsteins and Eibachs, quick shift), de cat centre, data monitor and scoobysport rear box.
Again, it was mint, I had every single piece of paperwork since it was new and I was the 3rd owner, me having it for the last 2 years. I found a buyer for the car through the wanted section on SIDC (he also posted in wanted on here too).
Sent him a few pics, and he came down from Leeds to purchase. He spent 5-6 weeks looking for the right car (Silver ones were hard to track down apparantly), but even though he was after sub 50k mileage, the excellent condition of mine sold it to him.
I got £8,400 with all the spec above.

I reckon you may be better going for £6950, but dont give it away.

Some of the figures I've seen cars get priced at on here is ridiculous, if you've got a good one, it will sell. For eveyone nice, well kept example, there is half a dozen dogs. Just gotta find that buyer.....patience is the key.

best of luck

A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I would like seven grand and I think its worth that but someone else may not. I will have to wait and see.

i sold my99 t reg uk turbo in silver in march last year for 8.5k with 67,000 miles. he just sold it on this june for 7k with 81,000 so you aint asking the earth mate.

pudders

Thanks mate i dont think im asking a lot as you could spend the same on a newer one and get a dog. Its the service history and condition that I hope will sell the car. If I could afford the running costs i would keep it but when I get my flat a subaru will be out the question.(for a few years anyway)
