is it the wrong time of year to sell an impreza? iv got a 96 n v-limited wrx mint condition with a few nice mods average milage etc and have just put it up for sale can i expect to sell before xmas?

 

depends if it snows!!!!

 

Speak to Kenny mate and see how difficult it is to sell at the moment

Why you seling anyway

 

Yes, comming up to Christmas people are saveing up for presents and cralling round wet cars isnt very apealing.

 

Just sold mine, all you need need is a couple of views and a reasonale price and it will go

 

WTF, have you driven much in the snow with a Turbo Impreza
brakes are scary as hell in the snow, just reminded me to get an ABS switch to turn it off when it snows.
Oh and get some narrow wheels and tyres so it will change direction

 

Thats why ive found someone to do a straight swap on cars. Couldnt be doing with weeks of either no one intersted or tyre kickers.

Edited cos i am daft

I don't believe that there is such a thing as a "good time" or "bad time" to sell cars when you are dealing with cars like Scoobys and enthusiasts like us.

Yes, Mr Arnold Clark et all may find their showrooms quiter at this time of year cos your average Corsa/Mondeo purchaser might wanna save the pennies for Xmas, but not us.

Personally I collected my STI 8 PPP today and the time of year is irrelevant.

If someone wants your car, then you will get rid of it easy peasy regardless of time of year.

I do think however that to sell at this time of year, sucess will only come from concentrating on specialist/enthusiast groups like Top Marques and ScoobyNet, although you will probably only get offers of pennies from the vultures on here! lol

Good luck with the sale anyway!

 

thanks guys

si im selling it cos my mum grounded me for not being home by 7:30 so i cant drive it...

 

Remember the infamous snowy night Bob

Try 110mph plus with both of us fishtailing the impezas in 3rd & 4th.... Damned irresponsible I say

 

how can i forget, i still cant get the stains out!!!

but trying to brake from that speed on snow at leadburn has scarred me for life.

bob

p.s BUY MY CAR!!!

 

Exactly emense traction but stop no!!!!!!, me too scared for life.

Somebody buy his car now

 

Not something I'll forget in a hurry mate...

As for buying your car..... I'm afraid mine will probably have to go for something a bit more sensible soon.... damned house buying

Cheers & catch up soon

Just stick a set of standard 15's with snow tyres on and the Impreza is great in the snow. If you can't be bothered taking the ABS fuse out then try cadence braking, it's becoming a lost art.

 

You cannot cadence brake something that wont lock up at all. On mine when you touch the brakes it confuses the hell out of the ABS. So the idea of turning the ABS of is so that I can cadence break.
PS I drive / make single seat racecars so should know how to brake. LOL
Cant fit 15's because of the brakes
