Hi All,

I am looking at 2006 2.5 WRX STI at the weekend, 17000 mile on the clock and under Subaru warrenty until December.
I am doing a straight swap against my 2005 330CI convertible.

As a rough guide, I did the following on New & Used Cars, UK Car Dealers - Parker's

You beemer...
2005/05 BMW 3-Series Convertible 330 Ci SE 2d Valuation - Parker's

Scoobaru...
2006/06 Subaru Impreza Saloon 2.5 WRX STi Type UK 4d Valuation - Parker's

Obviously may be other thigns to consider, but seems you could be getting a raw deal depening on said considerations.

Cheers for that!

My BM has 40,000 on the clock and the scubby as 17000 miles.
The BMW is just a bit to heavy, no pull etc.

suppose end of the day both cars are worth whatever the owner will pay (or in this case swap) for. If you looked at the Scoob and was happy with the deal, go for it. I only looked on Parkers as a rough guide, certainly not set in stone prices.
