dont know if this is for sale as i've not seen it in a while its just a few miles from me..

I think the prices are a good reflection of the car 19,995 is a good price regardless of what it goes for when the deal is done.... not all subaru have to be cheap cheap cheap its one off they best models ever produced... and the last of true impreza....if i was going to put mine back up for sale it would be going up for 20,000.

 

These cars have all been put up in price by £1000 recently, the same cars were for £18995 before.

J P. had a few for sale at one point and they were another 3-4 on with private sellers about a month or so ago, and a guy off here then sold his back to them (I think, which was then sold on to some one else with a few fibs (again I think ) ).

They are asking top money now for these examples (Litchfield import money-remeber their reputation with these cars). No doubt they are good examples but i think some negosation would be a good idea as they have been on the market for a while and turning up with some cash on the table (about £17500 -18K ) would be a fair amount.

P.S If you do have look make sure its got all the paper work for the MAP and upgrades (check for fibbing )

 

totaly agree with what your saying as well i am not looking i have my own.

its just not all subaru have to be cheap all the time...

And i am realistic with what price a deal would or should be done at with these being up for 19,995.... at JP..

 

MY06 Spec C is worth more than £16k IMHO. If you have that to spend then a MY05 may fall in to that bracket ...

,

It does seem however that some scooby's hold there money a bit better Spec C's, Mk1/MK2 T25's, WR1's and RB320's are the one's get

 

Spec c are becoming very sought after!.

 

^^ Now you tell me!!

Lol, it always seems to be the same ppl commenting as soon as a Spec C is mentioned.

Cant help ourselves,haha

Juggers have you none for sale??????

I think the recent rise in Spec C prices is due mainly to the sterling devaluation against the yen. As the Spec C is an import with most of the ones comming on the UK market from Japan (not recirculating UK cars) the cost of buying an importing one has risen sharply. The knock on effect is that all Spec C prices have gone up even ones that are already here,with UK owners.

 

Spec C ownership is still a very small market compared to other new age cars, they are initially cheaper to buy brand new over a "normal" STI but they go for higher prices at auctions to uk buyers, and as you mention Rick, its the value of the yen thats doing it.
This time last year it was 180+ yen to the pound, its alot less now, so it puts up the value of the cars that are being imported.
Still 50% of those people who buy a spec c dont have them for more than a few months for various reasons (not a dig at anyone either)

Tony,
Do I get my gold watch soon then.... four years in my hands this coming March. The longest I have EVER owned any car. But then I have spent another x2 worth of Spec C's modifying it.

 

You must do shaun only had mine for 3 years 3 months before i sold her due to changing jobs (i now know i could have afforded to keep her, so gutted) but i should be getting my next scoob this week though its not quite a spec c, it is a lovely car

Tony

 

Welcome back to the fold Tony..... not that you ever really left!

 

Cheers Shaun though i have gone though a couple of vauxhalls and peugeots inbetween, not one was a match for the Spec C
Give me a couple of years and i shall own one again

Tony

 

2yrs for me & I only changed as I always change cars every 2yrs.

Delighted to hear that they are holding their price. No intention of selling mine after just over a year. What 4 door 4WD turbo charged flying machine is there out there to match it? Unless of course you go over to the dark side and switch to Evo IX or X. (The way things are with the new model that may be the only option in future).

 

Thanks alot for all the replys. I have been a JDM STI owner for 4 years now and the cheapest spec c 2006 I can find that been any good is £18000 so far

 

I got two in stock but ones a type ra an the other is a type ra-r
The main reason for price increase for spec c's is that it will cost atleast 20k+ to get a decent one from japan with todays exchange rate.

The blue SPEC C that is on J Performance looks good. Price £18995

 

I don't think I'll ever sell my car!
