PPP Extension

PPP Extension
Any other scooby owners had a Subaru Flyer through the post today informing them that the PPP/3 years free servicing has been extended to the 30th September.
Any Bugeye/Blobeye owners worked out the better option yet, how much you'd spend on servicing over three years, i'd work it out myself, but i only have a classic at the mo (up for sale you know) lol.
Any servicing costs for a blobye would be appreciated, as thats what I'm having next. (from brand new or 05 plate hopefully)

we took delivery of a wrx300 with free ppp. got the flyer today: the ppp was worth £1600, and we took out the service plan for 3 years which cost us £800 (twenty odd quid per month). So the free ppp is def the best option IMHO.

Chris,
I'm sure there is a dealer offering both, can't remember if I seen it on here - or a link to it - it might be worth a search. However, you're likely to be paying top whack so they can recover some margin. Think it was one of the dealers up nr London - yeah I know not much use.

Over 3 years you'd probably spend IRO £1400-1800 on average mileage. If you add that to the free PPP being worth between £1600-2000, it negates any savings offered by EU imports. Only reason for going EU is if you'd prefer to go your own route instead of PPP, but then you may as well go JDM in that case. There'll be lots more offers yet as we countdown to the new shape. And remember, the new shape is only a stop-gap until the all new 07.

Chris, I`ve got a recently acquired MY05 myself (bought new), and I got the free servicing with it (as I missed free PPP by only 3 weeks )
The dealer reckoned I`d save about 1k over the three year period, and, as PPP retails at £1600 for the WRX, the PPP is obviously the best option and the biggest money-saver, especially if you have the STi, as I believe ppp is more expensive on those anyway (along with servicing).
Proportionately though, free PPP is the best money saver, as long as you`re sure you`d want it done, if you get my meaning.

Chris,
The only thing that might make the PPP less attractive is the dreaded insurance. You may wish to get some quotes before committing! Do a search on the threads and see some of the 'horror' stories.

oh bugger, forgot about the insurance, mind you i'm sure I told "A" plan that I was changing my classic for a Blobeye and tried explaing what PPP was and he came back with £730 from £530 on my classic....38 yrs old 65% ncd and all that.
Also, that deal that Shrewsbury have got on (cheers for the link Mr plewis) that they'll do PPP and free servicing, is that on the deal that i take the car back to them for any work to be carried out, or can i take the car to any Subaru garage.
Ps, when is the new 55 plate out, is it August or Sept ??

Cheers for all the replies lads, god this is a helpfull site, just dont know what to do know, jump in and buy a 05 blobeye, wait till the new facelift arrives in uk, or get a 55 plate.

Chris,
Have a look at the prices some year old STi Blobeyes are going for now and possibly even consider buying one of them - I know its common knowledge about buying new and losing thousands and you may well just want to be the first owner but in all honesty mate it might be worth saving a packet and buying an 04 model? Just a thought. Your likely to get a better deal on the blobeye when the new model comes out, but of course there is a reason for that! If you're buying new really work a hard deal, I mean embarrass yourself by asking for the earth Chris as the eventual price you pay will be something you'll reflect on at your leisure
What ever you do keep us informed and best of luck!

The 'facelift' is for a 2 year model cycle at least.
If there is a new car in 2007 it will be 2008MY and is therefore at least 2 years away, just as there is a new car in 2005 which is 2006MY and it's not here yet....
I find it amazing that the erroneous information in Auto Express is now treated as Gospel, just by being repeated enough times on here, suppose that's the 'power' of the internet.

If so, how'd you get to £1400-1800?
I just got a quote from my dealer for my 10k service and its £162.
I don't know the 30k service cost but it can't be that big....can it?

30k will be IRO £450+vat. Basic service plus gearbox and diff oils, plugs, coolant and possibly brake fluid. Maybe I was a bit over, but not wildly.

Speak to Litcho, but the one Danny B has pointed out will be excellent but at the top of your budget. Although it has the 05 geometry, there'll be little £ left for the T20 conversion (if you want it - TEST DRIVE BOTH). There is an 03 further down which will allow funds for the full T20 spec (Milltek exhaust, remap, fully adjusable suspension and full Whiteline kit). Iain will advise as to which will best suit depending on requirements and budget.
On the insurance side, my mate has a T20 and pays IRO £850 with A-Plan

Yes, the one I pointed out has a £2k discount probably due to being one of the last in stock.
If it gets registered on September 1st then my guess is it will be a 55 plate.
