FS: (For Sale) CA:2005 WRX with rod knock

hiandrew1 · 10-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Just found out today I've got a rod knock, confirmed by Modesto Subaru. Estimate for a short block is $5200 installed from them. I still owe on it, so it's gotta go. Here are the details...

2005 WRX, 88,xxx miles, World Rally Blue with black interior, Invidia cat back exhaust, Go Fast Bits Respons bypass valve, Kart Boy short shifter with brushed knob, Alpine CD/MP3 with aux and USB jack on the front, flat black STI BBS rims, JDM pink front grill badge, tinted windows all the way around, headlight bezel mod (bezels painted with black BBQ paint) with all orange reflectors removed, body matched running boards, moon/sunroof (I'm not sure what the difference is), body is straight with a few little parking lot scratches on the passenger side rear door, interior is very clean except the floor mats are looking a little weathered, but no weird scratches anywhere inside, headliner and visors are clean. No other problems besides the motor.....If I can think of anything else I'll add it in, or feel free to ask questions.

The car is located in Manteca, CA. It's worth about 14k, repairs will be in the ballpark of 5k worst case scenario, so I'm asking $9000 firm. No trades unfortunately because of the need to pay off the loan. I have to go back and pick the car up, so until then you'll have to use your imagination (I'm sure you've seen an 05 WRX in WRB), but I will post pics when I have it back.

Also, if anyone stopping by to look at this has any other suggestions besides selling, that I can accomplish for under 2k, I'm all ears.

Buuuump

hiandrew1 · 10-06-2012, 01:47 PM

Bump!

You could purchase a 2.5L Long block from the Subaru dealership for about 2k. And do the labor yourself.
The price seems a little high to me..

hiandrew1 · 10-06-2012, 05:07 PM

My selling price or the repair cost?

no you couldnt. A 2.5l turbo SHORTblock is just under 2k and thats with a discount. Then you still need gasket kit, rebuilt heads, oil pump, water pump, timing parts, ect

hiandrew1 · 10-08-2012, 08:09 PM

Bump? Might be trading it in for a 13' WRX 5 door, but I'd rather sell it outright. How about $8000?

New selling price: $8000

Paul · 10-08-2012, 08:53 PM

Did you get a trade in qoute yet?...Cause I doubt you'll like it.
They will proly offer you a couple Gs for it

hiandrew1 · 10-09-2012, 01:04 AM

Yea, they're trying to give me 11,500 for a wholesale price minus 5200 to have the shop rebuild it.

wow thats a awsome deal!!!!
what dealer? I highly doubt you'll find a private seller to give you more unless you dont mind hanging onto the car for awhile

hiandrew1 · 10-10-2012, 07:32 PM

Ha! Get a load of this...got a different dealer willing to pick it up for me from 60 miles away, pay off my loan, and get me into a 2010 STI certified with 27k miles for about $34k. Still hammering out the numbers on that, but sounds like a good deal so far.

hiandrew1 · 10-13-2012, 03:51 AM

Last bump before I go down and sign the papers on a '13 WRX tomorrow....

$7500 and it's yours.

Paul · 10-13-2012, 12:23 PM

^when you do trade it in can you let us know what they gave you for your car. And what dealer

hiandrew1 · 10-14-2012, 11:40 PM

This is officially off the market, but I'll leave it up for this bit of info....

I owed 7500 on my loan, they gave me 6900 at Modesto Subaru. I feel like I got a pretty fair deal.
