Saw an 03 WRX today, UK model with 27k miles, Full Leather, STi Spoiler, Sti Wheels in pretty damn good condition apart from a couple of chips heare and there £15995. This is at a Jag dealership, what do you think? also what is the service interval for this car? and when is the cam belt due.

Can anyone give me some tips on getting some cash off? thing is its got a magnex backbox, dont know if its a full system which would effectively void any remaining warranty - could I get some money knocked off for that and bang a prodrive b/box and keep the remainder of the warranty?

Could anyone tell me the exact insurance group of the WRX also, is it 17 or 19?

Does anyone know what insurance group the Honda S2000 is?

Sorry about all the questions, I just need to make some decisions quickly!

Why is water wet!!!!! ................sorry

You could have a brand new euro import for that price. Has it got ppp or is it standard? I had sti 17" 225 wheels briefly on my wrx and it tramlined like buggery..

I know I could get an import for that money but this car must have about £4-£5k's worth of extras on it, plus its a UK car so it should boost its resale value.

Private you could probably find one with similar spec for between £13-14k, maybe even with PPP. As regards the value of the spec, STi wheels can be had for around £400, replica STi spoilers another £400, the leather will probably have been the SL pack from new which used to add £1500 to the list. On 27k it's not far off the 30k service which is a biggie at around £450-600+vat, but the cambelt isn't due until 60k IIRC. The price seems about right for a car dealer, if they're offering warranty and finance, but you could get a newer WRX for the same money private, or even an 03 STi for not much more.

IN THE STICKS

I bought my 03 WRX wagon last month with 14k on the clock totaly standard from a Subaru dealer for £13,500 , lots of cars out there so haggle well

Neilo

insurance group is 19, sometimes 20.

mgcvk

Yep lots of cars out there. If I was looking now I'd be looking for 2nd hand sti. In fact I'm starting to think with the mods I would like to do to my wrx it might be a more sensible option.

ChriSTi

, where could i get a brand new euro import from mgcvk ???, im in the process (well thinking stage of changing my99 v6 wrx sti, for a newer model, have seen a version 8 wrx sti type uk for £19995, Too expensive ???

mgcvk

I think Ian Litchfield has imports for a good price and people seem to say good things about Alliance who have banners on here. I believe you can get a wrx sub £16,000 but savings aren't as good for STI's.

mgcvk

£20,000 for an sti 8 seems pretty good.......very good.

mgcvk

Presuming thats new...an import??

larks

just bought a 52 reg (new shape) ,uk car,silver,25k,prodrive performance pack and handling pack from subaru dealer for 12k was up for 13.5k market is very slow at the moment buyers have a big advantage.servicing every 10k/12 months cambelt at 50k and insurance group 17(£250 a year less then my ppp classic uk)

ChriSTi

A WRX PPP on an 03 is £13.5- £14k in Autotrader. As it will still be under warranty I wouldn't pay the additional £2k dealers want. These are cars with 18-27k miles too. Look elsewhere.....IMHO

mgcvk

Yep look around buyers market etc. Do your research first. Some dealers are very knowledgeable about the cars and many aren't - so don't always take as gospel wot they tell you. Ask to see relevant paperwork and receipts for mods to the car if they have them.

wrx-ian

recently paid £11,600 for a 03 wrx but that was with a £1300 trade in (1997 mx-3) and £1000 off for staff discount as we have a used car lot where i work.

jimby

i paid 13K on the nose for my silver 28k WRX ppp 53 reg with prodrive quickshift. insurance £890 with lifesure.

ChriSTi

Right mgcvk, sorry to keep bugging you, but you seem to know what your on about, so i'll tell you this and tell me if its too dear,
WRX STi Type uk 16000 miles, wr blue, ppp (305 BHP) ??? £19,995
wadda yer think ??

wheelwright

ChriSTi, I take it the STi is trade and a 03 plate if so its about the going rate.

Tell you what you can buy mine 53 plate blue,PPP,Springs,18" prodrive alloys for 18k, oh its just done 22k

ChriSTi

Any pics m8

wheelwright

ChriSTi, no pics at the mo mate as i haven't got any !!! But IF you are interested? i'll mail you some Thursday.

mgcvk

I think 18K from wheelwright sounds better. 22 thousand miles on the clock aint nuffink. I quite fancy it myself, but dread to think what I would get for my wrx currently. Wot's your next car then wheelwright???

wheelwright

I having nothing planned the Mrs takes care of that .................

mgcvk

Good grief. My Mrs thinks I'm a complete tw@t for having the car I've got. Left to her own devices I'd be in a Zafira by now although she quite likes Fiats - particularly red ones!!

wheelwright

M8 a 04 plate Zafira is the family car !!

patkin

I can Highly recommend Allbrandsnew for import scoobs really nice people highly efficient handover 16k or thereabouts or 18k with all the bits your Jag dealers car has including satnav

mgcvk

Er, well like I've always said the Zafira is a very practical family car. Its not red too by any chance?

BedHog

Sorry to hijack...... was the tramlining that bad? Just fitted 17" STi wheels and 225's to my WRX wagon but haven't really drove it yet due to the nice weather coaxing the bike out.........

It did feel different driving it back from the tyre fitters, but due to new tyres and no idea what pressure they put in it was a steady drive.
