Hello, goodbye and some advice

Hello i-club
I'm a long time reader and none poster. I have meet some of you around town etc. In fact it was a member, Bear, who got me pointed in the direction of i-club.
Anyways I'm finally posting and it is to say good bye and thanks. We are moving to London in the UK. And the Thanks is for all the help this board has given me over the years, owning and maintaining a wrx has been easier with all the pointers and info on here.
So as my final question to the group.................
How much is my 2002 bugeye worth.
It is a totally stock car, a daily driver with 180k on the odo and not much else.
Mechanically it is fine. It has had all the routine things done, oil changes scheduled items etc. I had to replace a few valves about 6 months ago. If you look on Morts facebook page you can see one of them! Any way that got done.
The one downer is a check engine light that like to turn on and off randomly. It'll be on for a day and then go away for 4-5 days and them show up for 2 days and then go away again. I've been all over the web and tried everything I can find to stop it. I not concerned as the car runs great and the compression/leak down numbers are good.
So what do ya'll think?

Considering the mileage your CEL could be just about anything but my guess is that it's a failing sensor. Not life or death of the car. My advice... next time it comes on check it. That's the only way you're going to know how to fix it.

As for value. I honestly have no idea.

Without looking at the blue book, I'm going to guess around 5k +/-1.5k depending on paint/dents/tires/brakes/leaks/services/etc. The CEL could cost several hundred to fix so have to add that into the price as well. Whats the code?

Thanks for all the replies guys and gals. I'll be listing the car in a few days. My plan is to hopefully pick up a spec c sti and own it long enough to be able to import it back here.
