I will give yous a quick spec of her as she stands and im just looking for a rough guide from you guys that are on here all the time.

Bodywork is very clean, got a few small carpark dings but nothing noticable, All work has been carried out by ra motorsport in perth in the last year with everything bought new and serviced twice since and have covered about 6k

Cheers guys,

£8000.

 

sounds like a beast, agree with above value 8k

 

Oops forgot the h&s exhaust and kyb super special suspension

Yeh I was thinking 8-9k but just unsure if the markets good enough just now!?

 

Only one way to find out, advertise it.

The advert and pics are very important, write out a really well written ad and get some decent pictures taken.

 

a car is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it

factor in the timescale on when you wish to see the ££ for a quick sale the price will get lower especially near xmas/new year

any pics?

 

Sounds like a beast. What's keeping it under 400, the 20g?

 

Think I will put together a for sale advert this weekend and see how she goes, not able to get pics up just now but I have got some that I will throw up tomorrow. Not in a rush to sell anyway so might be better waiting till the new year for the right money.

 

Yeh mate the turbo plus gearbox its still the jdm 5speed, its mint just now so dont want to wreck a perfectly good gearbox hunting for power lol but the engine should be good for upto about 500 I was told.

 

"Not worth anything at all wifey according to the chaps on scoobynet they advised I kept it as it's such a pain to sell cars nowadays. Oh well."

Lol

 

Hahaha aye that sounds like the way to deal with this mate lol

 

I paid £7000 this time last year for my version 2 type r. Spec below.

I think the figures thrown around so far are fair, id like to think I can push for 6k on mine before I go for a stroker build so you should see well in excess of that with your spec

 

About fifteen hundred quid, I wouldn't bother selling it as it will cost twice that to build another.

 

Wrong time of year to start trying to sell a car and unless you are desperate and willing to take a hit I would suggest waiting until the new year now. I've tried to sell 2 Impreza's in the run up to Xmas and it's a pig because you start to become impatient and more chance of price dropping. You also have to take into consideration that the longer the car is advertised people start to wonder why and it can put off car hunters. I also got a lot of time wasters who kept saying they will get back to me after the Xmas period and never hear back from them!


Trust me unless you are gonna of a bargain of the year I would suggest seeing out the year

 

Thats made my mind up buddy, the mrs will be getting told the markets quiet just now and I can continue to enjoy it lol

Cheers guys

 

the markets only dead for messers and some one Who is genuinely looking for a car of this sort will still buy at any time of the year

best thing to do is stick to your guns with the price
