Doesn't matter what you have done or not, part upgrades don't increase the value of the car they are just a horrible investment and a expensive hobby. Like I said earlier your better off pulling engine and trans selling that for like 4k and then selling the rolling shell for like another 4k. Or just well it as is and take the 1-2k hit cause no one wants to pay for a crashed car these days and those who do will low ball you...

I originally bought my 05 WRX with 43k miles for $6800 because the timing belt jumped and it needed a motor. Other then that it was in perfect condition.

Also if anyone wants to start a project in Chicago area there is a completely stripped 07 STI shell for 2g... Needs everything!
Where is your FS thread? I can't seem to find one and don't remember seeing your car when I was looking for an EJ207 swapped WRX to buy. I would have almost certainly been interested. 10k is a really good price for a full JDM drivetrain swapped car. If you just swapped the engine and have the stock tranny and brakes, 10k is still pretty decent but I could see that being a little harder to sell. Either way - I know some guys that are pretty interested in EJ207 swapped cars now after seeing mine so point me to your FS thread and you could get some interest.
