1.9% over what term?

STiMUL8 · 02-26-2005, 11:53 PM

They cost $29,850 new at Anchor Subaru in Rhode Island- maybe modify your price for faster selling?

STiMUL8 · 02-27-2005, 02:54 PM

No options - no Boost gauge, armrest, etc... just brand new 05.

Maybe Im just a n00b, but car prices differ slightly depending on your area. And I also might just be a n00b but I thought things like PMs work if you have a pricing issue with someones fs thread

. Unless its worth the 1,000 dollars savings to go from Cali to RI and back, maybe you should rethink your suggestion? Bump

the guy was just making a suggestion to help for a faster sale. There's no point in flaming.

From what I see here (East Coast), you would need to be @ around 27 to sell that car over here (because you can get 1.9 on new...). And yes, they are selling well below 30K new.

West coast is a different ballpark though, but not SO different that you're likely to get wildly more $

Regarding autotrader vs ebay. You won't even get 27 on e-bay unless you're REALLY lucky. You'll probably generate a lot of interest, but probably won't meet reserve. If you look at completed STi auctions, most are ending between 23-26, and most don't meet the seller's reserve. Autotrader is the way unless you need a quick sale, and are willing to settle for 25-26K

try www.craigslist.org in LA, its free to advertise and you can include a pic easily if you have the pic already in your computer, again, its a free ad for you, but along with that, you get the crap that goes along with it. I ve bought quite a few cars from craigslist.

Its funny, by the time you get that STI all they way out to Ca from the east coast, it will be a lot more than the $29,850 he was talking about, one dealer up in the bay area lists the 05 STI's at like $38,999, something like a $5000 mark up!!

I think it would sell for between $28-29K and it would have to be MINT as in no scratches on the rims and no dents and no scratches on it.

Very well equppied, new 05, STi's go for low 31's (seen higher and lower) in the SoCal/AZ area...not sure if this helps.

WRX Jim · 03-01-2005, 06:31 PM

i dont know where sti's on the east cosat go for 30 at the dealer one of the best east coast dealers who sells 200-300 under invoice is still at 31k on most of them

$24,000 with 6% tax(PA) plus 5% interest over 60 months would be $480 a month. That's $75 less a month versus a new STi with 1.9% interest.

Also keep in mind that it's called an "asking price".

Other thing to remember is that old saying, "value drops in half as soon as you drive it off the lot." Now, that's an exaggeration, but the bottom line is, USUALLY, to entice people to buy a car privately, even a virtually new one, rather than go to a dealer and get an ACTUAL new one, you have to have a very attractive price. I'll make no comments about what I think the number should be because I don't know west coast environment, but to say "what I paid minus $500 'cuz it's so nice" probably won't fly.

BTW, since threads are sorted by date, "bump" is simply a convenient word to type as a reply post so that your thread goes to the top of the thread display, and to explain your reply (that you're "bumping" it to the top). If it drops off the first page, it's still as accessible as before, just not showing on page 1. People have to click to go to the page it's on.

g/l - I love to see cars well-cared for and for sales to occur between enthusiasts. I hope you find a price and a buyer that match.
