Nah, Jeff's was a little nicer than this one. This one had cloth seats and no sunroof - though most would prefer that I guess. It was also black. My buddy swooped it walking through the city as the original owner was putting a for sale sign on it in front of his house. Only mod was a big *** antenna screwed into the fender. LOL?

I get you, but for me, the biggest intruder was the center console to my right knee. Also not much space above my head for a helmet on a track day. I feel more space inside my 2002 WRX driver area than in that car. The next was the back seat. Not much more space than in the WRX. I'm probably just too darn large.

Lastly, it's difficult to change the head unit if that is important to you. Anyway, it was when I was involved with this car. Fits a bike nicely though, and nothing like it on the back roads. I think this one was around ~315AWHP. I had wanted to buy it, but did not. I would have added more aggressive brake pads, and probably done struts/springs. Nothing else. Great car.

This one posted here reminds of Jeff's (AKA ipozestu's). And he had that thing dialed in!

I know the ad said no lowball offers, but is $10k+ really a fair price? Even with all the upgrades, I was thinking somewhere in the low $8k range considering it's an 11+ year old vehicle with 148k mi.
Do you know how much my FXT blue books for vs. what I paid vs what I am selling it for? Demand and a clean example make a big difference.

Yea I think he's got the price a bit on the high side. I think he has it up that way because of the mods and the fact that it's stick but it really should be sub 10 at the very least.

I think I'm actually going to go take a look at this car next week, been talking to the owner he's a nice dude. I like my BRZ but it's small, can really use an upgrade in power and space. Been wanting a legacy wagon for a long time.

Sounds about right considering it is a CL post. When did any of us actually got our asking price for high ticket items? That's why you post high then give the buyer "illusion of discount" by negotiating down to your actual desired value

Yeah, I think he knows he won't get his asking price and that's why it is priced that way.

I found out I can ship my car so I may be able to take my WRX with me after all. Might sell my 2.5RS to pay to ship the WRX. Would love to take both but only have one parking spot.

For sure on what I bolded. That's why I later posted how silly of me to forget the obvious. LOL

Btw, were you able to sell your FXT to that prospective buyer?

I sold my Prius yesterday. So now I only own Imprezas. No more car loans and that was the last of my debt of any kind. It was a great car especially in traffic, but it just sat there because frankly my Imprezas are just more fun and engaging to operate. I never once caught myself parking a Prius so I could see it from where I was sitting...

yup. Would have had no car loan had I kept the FXT. But the STI is fun enough to make it worth a payment.
