PARTS FOR SALE AS WELL!!!

Ok, I have thought long and hard about this, and have decided to just except the losses and take what i can get. I would like to hear some offers from people who are interested in BUYING the car. I would honestly let the car go for a minimum of $22,000. But i can work out some details if someone is interested enough. I know that i was trying to get alot for it, and like i said, i have thought long and hard. Please PM me if your serious and interested in purchasing the car.

Again, i will let it go for $22,000.

Here are some pics:

I think you are on crack asking $28K for a WRX with 26,000 miles on it.

Need a mod list, but I would guess you could get $24K at the most.

Crack, i wish. Why only $24k? It has alot in it. The mods are plenty, including PPG's 1-4th str-cut syncro'd, dead bolt SZ49(free rebuilds for life), turboxs FMIC, B&B downpipe, blitz nur spec R exhaust, urethane hangers, borla headers, AEM intake, Perrin inlet, TGV deletes, HKS uppipe, RC 750cc injectors, Walbro 255lph pump, hotchkis sway bars, tein s springs, perrin anti lift, perrin crank pulley, Clutchmasters stage 3 clutch disc, Agenecy Power dogbone, samco hoses, HKS SSQV BOV, full Memphis internals with Memphis 10" sub, Memphis amp, and Alpine head unit. Blitz tubro timer. I think thats it... Not fully sure. Oh, ECUTEK tuning.

I think its reasonable.

I think what Jard was trying to say was its a tough order to sell a modded car and include the value of the modded parts in the sale. Couple different things play into it:

Does the person want everything you did?
Since its modded, has it been beat upon or had its life shortened due to those modifications?
Are you including the full value of the mods...or a portion thereof?
Most banks do loans based on the loan value of the car...which falls just below the tradein value of the car. 28K means somebody would need to put down 10K just to get a reasonable loan term and interest. Not many people can/want to drop 10K these days.

The mod list is impressive and you might find a buyer...it would take patience...as the list of people willing to pay 28K for a 2 year old car that stickered for 25K then is small.

There are folks on here in similar circumstances...maybe get some feedback from them.

Good luck with whatever you choose man. I have seen the car and its clean.;)

Yeah, I wouldnt pay a dime over book for someone elses modded car. You're looking for the rare buyer who both like's your mods AND has alot of money.

QFT. How many people can afford your car even if they want it? Not many. I think this is the main deal killer.

Honestly, I'd buy a stock STI first for the same price and I could get a car loan for the whole thing too.

If you want some money back I suspect you're going to have to part it out.

Oh, It was $25k new. Or, if your in the market, you could buy a new one for $25k.
Invoice on a new '07 WRX without options was $23,500. Most people that are going to be surfing this website know that.

The ONLY mod that means anything on that car is the gearbox and maybe the turbo...the rest is filler.

I think that $24,000 or so would be fair.

I understand where you guys are coming from. The price is a fair value for what i have put in the car. Yes, the car WAS $25 new, and YES the car is about $19k private party sale. But when you add what IS in the car, your looking at a car, well over the performance of a stock STI, and well under the price. Thats the thing, if you wanted, which is why i posted what would you pay for the car, but if you wanted the car, your looking at a car with close to 400awhp, and more, for less than the price of an 08 WRX loaded and a bone stock STI.

I know that the car is for a specific market, i wouldnt expect to sell this to a first time buyer. But, when your looking at a car, which has about 16k miles with mods, and about $18k in mods cost, then i dont think its that bad. You cannot account for an 07 WRX, the 08's with nothing done to it is $24,350.

So, to not make this too long, you are talking about something most people have a problem with, buying someone elses car, that someone else has worked on and so on. The car has been to the track 1 time. pretty much in outstanding condition, but ofcourse, your normal wear and tear is in there. This is my daily driver, not my track car. She has driven in Virginia only, and i have never done anything no one else wouldnt have or hasnt done. So, most of the people that are on here, have done the same if not more, or less, and have been in my shoes. Most Subaru owners brag about the resale of these cars, and yet, when it comes time to buy one, no one wants to pay what they are really worth.

I have put most of my free earnings into this car. Everything that i have purchased was out of a box, new, never used, and all name brand. No ebay, no second hand. If you(everyone) were in my shoes, what would you look to get?

Thanks for the posts, keep 'em coming.

I said i would like $28, but i could go for $26,500.

Take all your mods...add them up...then cut that in half. Used stuff is usually worth about 50% of retail UNLESS it's a high demand item.

NADA says retail on a 2006 WRX with that mileage is $21,500.

Add those two numbers together and start there...maybe that's what you already did...I'm not doing all the math.

If it were me, I would part everything out except the gearbox, clutch, turbo, and supporting mods.

i smell a massive part out

good luck

It's a nice looking car man, but you have to understand when you do mods, you do them for yourself and you pretty much have to consider that money gone once you do it, you just aren't going to be able to recoup that on resale. Doesn't matter how well it performs, that's just the way it is, in many cases the car will sell for less then it's normal resale value because of the mods

It's an accept part of modding your car, that's why they call it "Dumping money" into your car.

personally I wouldn't buy that car for any amount of money really, because, even if you treated it perfectly, it's hard to think that it wasn't abused with that kind of work done to it.

Your right, take the $21,500 add the price of just those parts alone to it, and you have about $30k. Im not asking for that, just $26,500.

I dont have the stock parts lying around to even think about parting out. I would have to have pretty much everything bolt on to do a part out.

I dont expect much, just a little compensation for the money i spent, not all of it.

:lol: at this thread. i need sleep :sadbanana:

^^You need more than that!

you asked and these people are telling you the answer. PM me when you'll realize its easier to part out. interested in a few parts.

You guys are both funny.

This guy wants $20,000.
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1395167

He can acutally get $21,500 according to NADA. But he is bone stock.

I, on the other hand can get $20,750, again, according to NADA.

There is a big difference. I am not stock. Yes i have $15,000 more miles, but that really doesnt start changing the price till about $50k.

Jard says, "I think that $24,000 or so would be fair. " Well, take the price of the car from NADA, $20,750. Make it $20k even. Add the PPG's, clutch and turbo.... $26k-$26,500 sounds really good to me... But whatever.

Turbo was just rebuilt(by deadbolt) last month and made a SZ49 from a 20G. Thought someone might want to know.

My dad owns a shop and has had/has tons of project cars. The reality is under most circumstances its hard to find a buyer to pay more or even book value on a car thats modded, especially if you have major modifications. Your best bet is to take the time to part out the car and then sell it as a stock vehicle.

What you think and what we think doesn't matter. It's only worth what someone will pay for it. Not matter how much money you have sunk in it. If you can find someone to give you $28K, then it's worth $28K. I'm sure if you wait long enough you can find someone to give you full price for it. You have one thing working against a long wait though. Every day, it's worth less than the day before.

Put it up on ebay and see what happens. I don't think there's a chance of you getting 28K for it unless you expose it to ALOT of eyes.

I kind of wanted the tranny till I saw it was straight cut gears.

its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Modded cars are hard to sell due to people worrying about inspections and what not, and especially abuse. You got ppgs and quite a few mods, so anyone on nasioc knows you push your car. Try craigslist or ebay. Maybe some rich kid will swipe this up.

Thanks guys. I know that it would be better to part out. But the thing is that i dont have alot of time. I have 4 months left, and a really short budget. I could get rid of some small things, but still, whats left in the car would be somethings like the turbo, and gears. Thats what people are scared of, the gears, and turbo putting out the car.

I understand that there isnt much i can do, but i was just asking. I wouldnt even mind selling it for $25k. I know that most would like to, but cant.

I am leaving for Japan, and they want $3-5k just to register the car there. I dont have that kinda money. The Navy would hold it here, but that means someone has to get in it, once a month, and drive it around. I dont trust just anyone to "play" with this car. Thanks again.

~M~

ill trade you transmissions before you sell =)

Yeah, I would agree with everyone else, I would say $23,000 to $24,500 tops. GL with the part out.

Someone say $25k, and they can have it!!!

~M~

What type of numbers did she out down?

Ron

Someone say $25k, and they can have it!!!

~M~

$25k

where are the keys?

Here, come on by and pick it up...

~M~

Dont forget to bring the check for $25k.

why not let Josh take care of it?

Not only would that make him too happy, but he would have to worry about all the things that need to be done, on his dollar, and if he transfers to a different duty station, he will have three cars to worry about, and with his little one on the way, i dont think that would be the best for him and his family.

Most likely when i get back, everything from my car would probably be in his, haha!

Sorry Josh, :(

~M~

If i cant sell it, i will have to take it to California for my parents to hold. Hopefully, someone thats in the market for an 08 WRX that doesnt like the looks, and is looking for an 06/07 style, has the want to pay for my car. But i dought it.

it's "doubt" not dought

Im glad you are here for me!

~M~

This is kinda a wake up call for me. I have well over 20k in just go fast parts into my 02 wagon and thought I could get 17-20k for it....:( and my car doesn't cosmetically look half as good as this one. Owell... keep it or part it out I guess.

Sympathy bump.

Thanks, i appreciate the sympathy, at least someone understands... this is what i have been trying to get across to people. But unlike you and myself, most dont know what there getting... or they do and are BS'ing...

~M~

It's not a question of sympathy. It's cold hard reality.

I have $6k+ (more to come) into my WRX and about $12K total into my '98 EK track civic. At best I could get $5K for the civic and the WRX is worth about $12-14K. I knew it was a money loser going into it. All I expect out of the car's is fun. I know I'm throwing money away.

You have to do it for the love of it. You'll never make a profit. Hell, you'll never even break even. Some people go deep sea fishing, some people travel, some people go to Aspen every year. My hobby is working on my cars and I don't mind wasting money on my hobbies.

You know, i agree. I do! I totally understand what you are talking about. I have been preaching the same crap to everyone that i talk to when it comes to modding there stock car. The only thing is, i have spent a good deal of time and money on this car, which is not to say that i regret it one bit. I enjoyed every second. I love doing this to my car(s). That is mostly the reason that people on this forum should understand what im talking about. I had a civic, 420hp on c16 n/a. I know about spending money and loosing all of it, i sold the 94 dx for $9k. I had about $15k in it. So trust me, i agree with you all, but totally F--king someone out of there work is stupid. Then again, most people pay to get there stuff modded!

Thanks,

It's psychological. People have studied it. It's why so many houses are sitting unsold on the market today. People get an emotional attachment to things and set unrealistic prices based on their love instead of reality. Builders though, who have no attachment have been dropping house prices to match the market. That's why it might make sense to buy a new house today over an older home. You have an emotional attachment to the car which prevents you from seeing it from someone else's eyes.

This car is YOU. You've put your stamp on it. You've done things to it I wouldn't want in a car. You haven't done things I think it needs. You've narrowed down the possible buyers to a small hard core nub. To sell it, you need to find this needle in a haystack. Basically, you need to ebay it.

That tranny should be the easiest to sell, and the hardest thing to convince a buyer to keep. Straight cuts are a whole new ball game.

Sell that, or better yet, swap it for a 6-speed STi tranny.

You should find someone that will give you their stock trans + cash for yours, and then sell your car for $23K

ill trade you transmissions before you sell =)

This is the only person that has said anything about trading tranny's, but my turbo would get rid of the stock one really quick, like it did the first time.

Thanks,

~M~

So, i listed some mods up there, let me know if anyone is interested in some of them. I will need YOUR OEM parts to replace mine with, and cash.

Thanks,

~M~

I will give prices when someone is interested. Turbo and gears are going to be the hardest due to tune on car for injectors. Most of everything else can go, except for TBE and BOV. FMIC, headers, intake, etc can go. Rims and tires have 6k on them, and come with a protection package.

Let me know.

just remember nothings worth anything unless someone wants it. plus il take that tranny if your trading it out!!!

How much for the transmission with a trade? I have a working '04 box. ;)

I kind of wanted the tranny too but, don't think I could take straight cut gears in something I DD and track.

I think if you're worried about popping the tranny after a swap, just turn your boost down to something close to stock before the sale and tell the buyer that he can turn it back up BUT, you're not responsible for the tranny.

I want that tranny also. But it wont work in a bugeye if I am mistaken. Something about push pull trannies.

Scott

How much for the grille and licence plate delete?

The grill is gone already, just did the swap, the lip is gone, the catch can is gone, strut bar is gone.

i dont think the 02-05 tranny will go in my car. And vise versa, i dont think that it will go in those years either. Plus, the push pull types wont match.

Either way, there are still plenty of other things that are on there. Suspension bars, headers, etc.

Nick, i still have the license plate delete, if your in need.

~M~

Bump for parts

You wanna get rid of your memphis amp?

How many RMS watts and how much?

^^I wouldnt mind selling the amp, but i would like to sell both together as they are harder to sell seperate. The amp has RMS Power 2 Ohms Mono (14.4V) 500x1. Its a MCD500. Its nice. The Sub(M1104D) is a Continuous Power Handling 300 watts Maximum Power Handling 600 watts Sensitivity (2.83 volts) 86.08 dB Magnet Size 66 oz. Mounting Depth 5.5" Voice Coil configuration Dual 4 ohms. Its in a nice ported, carpeted box. Anyway, id like $450 for both and there yours.

Let me know.

~M~

I have updated the cost of the car. Please see original post.

~M~

Just thought I'd ad a bit of irony to the thread....


The ESX STi is for sale.....

$89,000



...um. Whats the difference?

It says ESX on it, and mine doesnt.

Oh yeah, and http://www.esxmotorsports.com/limited.htm.

~M~

^^ But really. What exactly is the difference? I have damn near the best of the best of parts on my car, yet, it's only worth blue book or less? But if it is a shop car.....

dumb

+everything.... I agree. I had that same talk with jbauer, and we were both in a stupor over how "shops" can do it, and if someone takes there car and does it, then its a "waste" of money...

Tell me about it.

~M~

Come on people, give me a deal, ill be willing to come down some, just gimme an offer.

~M~

a box of crackerjacks and a smile?? :)

call me at work bro about meeting up for lunch

Say.... two boxes and a bottle of Jack???

~M~

how's that craigslist working out for you?

No one has sent/said anything, but i put it in the Hampton Roads area, so maybe its hiding in there. I dont know, i would just like to see this go to someone i know. I know that most of you here have seen, heard, been in, etc, when it comes to this car. I am not asking for much. I know people have a hard time buying used cars that have been put together by someone else, but when your looking at a car like this, you know what it has in it, thats why your looking, you know? Most dont like to buy second hand ricers, but its what makes us who we are. Anyway, hopefully i can sell, or she will be sitting at my parents house for three years, doing S**T!!!!

For some reason, i dont think it matters what i list the car for, no one will buy this car. I could say that i want $19k, $20k, 21k, and no one would care.

I will probably just take the bite and trade it in for a kia or something. At least i know i will end up even.

GIVE ME YOUR WHEELS PUTO!!

Im waiting on you, whenever your ready... I need the money more than you need the rims/tires. Call me, im off tomorrow.

And if you hurry, we could do a turbo and tranny swap... But whenever your ready to spend some time and money on this.
