Legacy Spec B - advice needed for selling

[rm89]

My parents have decided to buy a new car, and that means that their current one will be sold privately. It's a dark blue 09-plate Legacy 3.0 Spec B auto saloon, owned by them from new with just over 58,000 miles. I've been tasked with working out a rough price for them, but as there's so little on the market (at least relative to other brands/similar types of car) that I'm struggling! Also, unsure as to where best to list the car to get the maximum exposure for the type of person who'd be interested - PH classifieds the best bet or any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

I'm far from an expert on pricing these, however, PH would seem a good place to find the niche market for it, I would think £ 5500-£ 5750 would get initial interest if there's a buyer out there and the car is spot on.

one for sale in Manchester ( 09 plate ) at a dealer for 6495.00.

take 1000-1500 off for a private sale and that would be a good guide. have they asked what the PX price would be ? sometimes easier to just px rather than mess around selling private. I know they are big road tax which is always a stumbling block on an old car ( around 500 a year ? ).

also, you don't mention miles / condition / history etc. could be like new, could be a dog

I have a similar one and was thinking £6k but may be just me being hopeful. The problem is that in the UK estates (tourers) are preferred over saloons and manuals over autos, so you are at a disadvantage.

You could try and discuss it on UKLegacy forum.

To give you a rough idea I bought our Outback 3.0R (same gen as yours) for £8400 with 46,000 on it. It was it perfect condition and has been flawless and we intend to keep it for as long as it'll run for.

For yours I'd suggest around £7500 and depending on what it looks like I'd be interested myself.

Thanks all for the replies! Certainly some food for thought. Will try to take some decent photos when I'm up at theirs tomorrow.
