Hi,

I'm in the process of getting a new job which means I need a new car which is compliant with the company policy.

Regretfully, I therefore need to say goodbye to my much loved 2005 WRX. Does anyone have any suggestions as to its value?

The spec is: Black 2005 WRX wagon with PPP kit fitted from new, 78k with FSSH, Prodrive PFF7 wheels, double Din stereo/DVD/sat nav, Momo steering wheel and gear knob. Generally excellent condition for its age with a few minor marks on the bodywork which would be expected for a vehicle of this age.

Thanks frown

What's your employer's car spec 'Must be German eco-box'? I know many employers' driver safety policies require owner-drivers to have NCAP 4* or better and some insist on NCAP 5* only.

My 60k miles 05 WRX Wagon wagon was advertised at £3600, and was the lowest mileage Impreza on Autotrader/Ebay when I bought it 2 years a go. I got £300 off to cover the curing the brake-judder picked up on the test drive.

I'd start at £4500 but be prepared to go down to £3500.

The main selling point is the low miles and PPP. The infotainment system is a 'nice to have' but won't add significantly to the value. It's still a thirsty car with niche appeal.

If I wasn't moving up to a Legacy soon, I'd be interested. I put an LPG kit on mine and 40k miles later I'm still enjoying Impreza performance for diesel Astra running costs. :-)

Sounds quite similar to mine - bought last August for £3300, though the guy was in a hurry to get rid and it had 87K on the clock. Mine is silver. Hope you get more!

Sold within 2 days of advertising it on PH for £4400. I possibly could have got more, but I needed to get rid of it asap so quite pleased with that. smile
