I have a MY98 Impreza 4 door 2.2L 4eat.
- RB5 replica spoiler
- Prodrive P1 suspension- STI V6 struts & P1 springs
- STI strut tops
- 18mm rear sway bar
- borla headers
- brullen 2.25 catback with stainless dual tip
- RS hood with scoop and vents
- injen intake
- Sparco sprint seat- driver's side only, my gf finds the stock seat easier to get into, so I found no need to upgrade the passenger side.
- Mrjosh pulley
- sony cdplayer - its the one for $120 at circuitcity, I rarely choose to listen to it over the exhaust unless the lady is riding with me.
- OEM WRX rims with sumitomo HTR Z II tires 205/50/16 maybe 3k on them

Its glacier white and has ~96k on it. I bought it when it had about 87k and to be honest, it was pretty thrashed. It looked like a beach car and I cleaned it up quite a bit. Recently changed the oil with Valvoline Maxlife and replaced oil filter and drain plug washer. The car was recently safety inspected and I also passed recon. The car sounds awesome and has plenty of pep. Handles and corners like a champ. Just seeing what kind of offers I can get. I may be leaving the island in 5 months. Spread the word if you can help me out. Thanks.

I just looked up my car on edmunds and KBB. Although my mods should make it worth more, I understand that mods do sometimes hold a negative effect on the pricing. I think I should lower my price to about 7.5k obo. Im just really looking to pay off the car and maybe get a lil profit. I would hate to see this car go to someone who doesn't appreciate it. Thanks. :)

I am looking for 5,500 obo. I just got myself an 86 mr2. I just want to pay off the impreza. This is a heck of a deal. It makes a perfect daily driver. Buy it now! :)

All the people that have been close to me all ask me if I'm thinking straight. There is a reason I am letting it go and finance is a great part of it. This car was something I wanted to keep forever, but now I just want to see it go to someone who will appreciate it like I did. I get really low offers, but the truth is I don't have much time left here and its gotta go. Its still an impreza L model underneath, and people just see that despite its performance and looks. If anyone has glacier white impreza L stock parts and wants to work a swap or parts, I would be willing to do it at lil or nothing. Its just much easier to sell the car in stock form. No one really wants a modified car, despite its reliability. :(

What color is your vehicle? Would you be interested in buying the spoiler straight up?

Does anyone have the stock beige drivers seat?
1 beige driver's seat + $100 for 1 sparco speed black seat with all mounting brackets.

1998-1999 stock intake + $40 for Maf based injen cai (I can help with the install or coordinate a swap from car to car).

1 1998 glacier white L model hood + $50 for 2001 aspine white rs hood with glacier white vents and scoops.

RS/L model stock suspension + $600 (less than 50% of original price, suspension only has about 3k on it) for Prodrive P1 suspension including STI strut tops.

Stock catback + $200 for Brullen catback.

Stock rims + $200 for OEM WRX rims with cherry Sumitomo HTRZ II tires (tires alone cost about $440).

Prices are negiotiable. Let me know if there is anything else.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies and help. I would have traded the seat if you had a beige seat.

Also, thanks aznsexrboy808 for helping with the sell. Hopefully he will take a liking to the car. Its kinda rediculous. I go on forums hawaii and I see 1998 civics go for 8-9k and have higher mileage, I also see a 1996 civic going for 5,700 with 133k miles. I don't get it, isn't my car worth more? :confused: Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosers. Thanks for all the support. :)

Hi everyone,

It seems that I will be going on the 1st, I need to get rid of this car soon. I haven't gotten any people that can pay now so I am leaving this car open for offers. The dealership is offering me 3,500 for it. I was hoping for more, but now I just want it to go to the highest bidder. I hate to see my baby go, but its worth more than that. I will most likely sell it to the person who can pay me soon and has a decent bid. I would like to see 4,500 and I will cover the rest of whats left on the car. Thanks for looking guys. Help me out.

Not going anywhere. Subaru stays with me. I had few buyers but its surprising how many people flake out on you last minute. I had one going with me to the DMV and changed his mind when we got there. Well, the military like usual are changing plans and still saying that they might send me off, they might not. I'm just sick of the politics. Thanks for all the replies though.
