How much should this Subaru cost?

It's actually my subaru and I'm considering a trade in to get a more economically sound vehicle since I commute, I don't drive all that fast anymore so I figured it might be the time to get rid of the car.

Original Owner
2003 Impreza WRX White Sedan (clean title)
120k miles
Sparkplugs n' maintenance done at 115k by AutoHQ. (the 120k maintenance)


Mostly stock except for
17inch gold rotas SDRs (have originals)
Swift Springs (AutoHQ)
GR-2 Struts (AutoHQ)
cusco swaybars (have originals, installed by LIC)
Whiteline endlinks (have originals, installed by LIC)
Tint on rear passenger and back windows 20% (by Vince @ Omega)
Slotted Rotors (GSTMotorsports)
Brake pads put in at 112k (AutoHQ)

Don't think it's worth much more than 8500-9 but on a good note I also doubt you'll have problems selling it at your asking price.

what ya going to buy?

You may want to consider removing the aftermarket parts and selling them separately. You'd get more money.

To give you an idea: I bought my 02 bugeye with 118k miles from the original owner for $8,300 in May 2008. The car was 100% stock. Your car is one year newer and it's 2009. I think around $8,500 should be fair.

yeah you should be able to get 8500. Things like springs/struts are a total plus because #1 they are worn out #2 stock is el sucko. The wheels are and bushings and etc. are all worth their money in mod as they increase with no adverse affect or hit to worth of the car. It's not like a turbo or a bov where you might not want that on your car. anybody who doesn't want the mods he has over stock is just an idiot.

Seriously thinkin about grabbin' a gas saver like a corolla/accord. Probably end up stick just because it's easier to maintain. Again lookin' to get economically sound. I was all into cars when I was 16, and I still like the pull on our vehicles compared to others, great spirited fun, but in all I think it's time to say bye and move onto something more economically sound.

Filling up 3x a week around 40bux each time blows monthly =\.

If saving money is your goal, I think keeping your subaru and driving it economically will save you more money than trading it in. You are not going to get 8,000+ from the dealer on trade in.

Yeah, don't trade in your car. You'd get half of what you could get from private party. Of course you just have to put up with lowballers, flakes, and kids looking for a joyride.
