how much is my old scoob worth?
Well, after years of happy motoring, it's finally time to get rid of my trusty scoob and get a company car. Thing is, I've got absolutiely no idea what the scoob mught be worth.
It's a standard UK turbo wagon MY 97, but I've managed to rack up 180K miles driving to and from work! It has a FSH at Subaru specialists.
Any ideas?
Thought it might make a performance bargain for someone?????

180,000 miles 
Holy pooooooooo!!
God only knows, it's going to be really hard getting any interest I would have thought and if it's in 'average' condition then it's going to be around £2000.

It's the 180,000 miles that does the damage ..............
147,000 is actually very high, but quite a difference to 180,000 (in peoples minds)
100,000 looks positively low milage compared to one with 80% MORE miles!!
180,000 is seen as 200,000 ........ in reality.
Maybe £2500 could be achieved, but EVERYTHING goes on condition, we have no idea what needs replacing/what has been and what the bodywork/interior looks like.

The thing's f@cking bullet proof!!!!
I've driven it virtually everyday for the last 4 years. 170 mile round trip to the office :-(
I've had it serviced according to Subaru schedules and apart from that all I've changed is disks, pads, tyres and exhaust.
It still goes like new and starts every morning without a grumble, whatever the weather.
i really will be sorry to see it go.

That can't be, it just can't be ........ it's not expensive enough!!
There MUST be some mistake ... it needs to be a rare oil not normally found in outlets across the country - like Anusoil, Millers, Silkolene - thats the ONLY way it could ever reach those mileages!!
An excellent example of a car used carefully, driven with sympathy and given the oil Subaru recommend.
Good luck with the sale!!
