what to value our Subaru Legacy Type R spec B

[cwinbolt]

hi,

I have also posted this on another thread about this particular car, but I am looking for some help on what to put a car for sale for? my husband has a Subaru Legacy Type R Spec B 3.0 (saloon) it is a 55 plate and has 94,000 miles on the clock. we will be selling with MOT and its just had 4 new tyres put on. looking on Autotrader, I cant find a single other car (this exact version) for sale in the whole of the UK. I assume this means its relatively rare? (or people love them and don't want to sell!)

can anyone help us with how much we should be selling this for, and should we be using autotrader or a different site?

thanks for help!!

It depends how quickly you want it sold.

£4000 will most likely see you dropping the price every week until someone buys it.

£2000 will get you a near immediate sale but you could probably get more.

It is the sort of car I like but many now are only interested in mpg, however daft the figures may sound, so your market is smaller.

Niche cars are always harder to value - if it was me I would put it on between at £3250 and see where you go.

Does that reflect what you are thinking?

£3500 if it's mint with FSH down to £2500 for a very quick sale. I've seen them up near 5 though with much higher milage.

BTW it's a Legacy R Spec B. Not any variety of Type-R as they never made one.

Here's some on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_tr...

I eventually shifted mine which was an '06 with 100,000 miles on it for £3200. Always felt like it was worth more but i guess there isn't that much demand and the running costs aren't exactly low.

Thanks. All bar one (which is breaking) of those eBay ones are the estates, not the saloons? So still not the same but thanks guys for all your advice.

Pricing will be the same. The estate is just a bit more common. Good luck with the sale.
