This is a very similar looking MY99 car on eBay as yours, but no details on the engine rebuild. It had no bids at £2500

I cant believe how cheap classics go for after looking at completed listings on eBay!

It is a world away from an original one owner car. The engine rebuild de-catted exhaust and nine owners ring too many alarm bells. Buying a car at this kind of age/mileage is all about history and owners.
That said, the mileage on Pete's car will count against it so I doubt it would fetch more than £2.5k to £3k.

Thanks all ....
I have spoken to Dealers ..... their opinions are based on what they can do with the figures, of course.
Some Part Exchange offers would be £4,000 if I paid List Price for the car in question ... but, we all know that's an artificial figure as the List Price on the new car is negotiable. I would realistically say that the Trade Price would be around £2500?
Clearly, if I could only get £2500 Private I may as well throw mine into the trade with all the ease and benefits that delivers ....
I was interested to know what the market said mine was worth so I could make a call as to what to do .....

it's about time we saw some pics of this famous car Pete
And a genuine 100,000 miles is still 100,000 miles! (Low for it's age or not) it would need to be 60,000 to make a significant difference to the price imho

iTrader: (10)
I would have said between £2500 - £3000,as the one i have just bought is the same year and model & colour with 2 owners,and 10k less mileage.I also have every receipt even the original order purchase from mar 2000,when the car cost £24,456 to every other receipt(over 40x pages) to when it was sold on this forum 5 years ago,to present day.
If the car has aircon,and/or factory sunroof will see the price getting very near to the 3K imho.

That gives the Trade value .... same, roughly, as WeBuyAnyCar.com
Private sales would be higher - which is why I'm asking here ... some may have sold/bought recently. The Subaru Dealer said there was a very strong market for late Classics.

The car I would buy now will be around £5,000 cheaper Just shows how things have gone! I blame Labour for the fall in new car prices, it's a disgrace

Dedrater .... you have hated me with a vengence for years .... you don't need the Reg. Number to buy it - I suspect you are up to no good

As I said, I will guarantee you that I will buy your car, I will even send you £50 or more via Paypal before I even see the vehicle.
I will offer you £2600 for it, but I am flexible on this, what ever I will pay will be more than what any dealer will give you and I will out bid any genuine private buyer.
If you want me to send more that £50 to hold the car before I buy it, that is not a problem either, I can do this today, tomorrow or right now.
