Yep, i'd pay more for a low mileage one too. I'm sure you could probably get more off that though.

I think it's fair to assume that at some point in the last ten years these cars will have had some 'spirited driving', the lower mileage suggests this one would have had less.

To a degree,

If you bought a car with 100,000 miles on but had full service history, and a shed load of receipts for parts would you be happier than buying a 38000 mile car with partial history??

why only partial?

only my opinion tho

Mine has full leather, aircon and practically every option you could of ticked from new but its still sitting on my drive.

Am not in a rush to sell but i would be surprised if he reached that asking price.

Maybe as mine is a wagon there is less interest but if that didnt bother people then for a grand less with only 4000 extra miles you could have mine.

These are all within 50 miles of me - no other choices. While lovely cars no doubt, i think sellers are a little out of touch with the current market.

If there are 2 cars though, one with high miles & the other low ... just makes it an easier choice.

Blimey how on earth does he think he will sell his for nearly 8k!!!

There looks like there are some cracking low milers on here with full histories etc for virtually half the price.

No, it was brand new it may have had 7 or 8km on the clock, probably wasnt worth doing, remember mine is a version 5 type R

Price of the last one seems pretty good. Knock a couple of hundred off and its a good buy I reckon.

I desperately want another sonic blue Impreza and yes it is low mileage but the comment about long periods in storage puts me off.

Nice car, maybe worth £3750 ... £5750 is cuckoo land.

I would want every single MOT to be in the Doc Pack to prove mileage ..... but it looks a nice example (needs to be one owner to secure that price)
