Price my car

I am thinking about getting rid of the suby wagon and move on to something new (M3!!!!!!!!!!)

Anyway, I was wondering if I could get a decent place for the car if I were to leave all my parts as is. I know I can get more from parting it out but don't want to deal with the trouble.

This is what I have. 2002 70k miles wagon Canadian addition (tighter seats and heated)

mods,

Tein Flex Coilovers
cusco front and rear strut bars
cusco rear adjustable sway bar
helix endlinks
front subaru 4 pots
dba slotted 4000 series rotors
rf1 enkei 18" with rt615

vf34
walbor pump
sti pink injectors
helix up and downpipe
borla hush w/ 3"
3port soleoid
spt intake
STI topmount

v1front lip
jdm hid projectors
authentic sti front grill
authentic sti hood scoop
painted side skirt
jdm wagon rear side spades

accessport w/ eqtune map
defi 3pod turbo, exhaust, fuel presurre guage
cf 3pod clock guage thingermigick
wagon mafia sticker

Don't tell me to part it out. I just want to know if it's worth while to just sell it.

Car sounds nice, the downside is you never get your money back for the mods. Private seller price is 13000 in excellent condition.... maybe 14000? Good luck with the sale !

Don't forget, if you want to sell that to someone in California, you will have to get a smog check which will require removal of a lot of the performance parts.

With that level of modifications, you are looking for a specialist buyer. This really restricts the number of people that would be interested.

Are your mods all carb legal? One issue a potential purchaser may have is that the car will need its first smog next year.

Yeah Smog is the issue but I've heard ppl passed with vf34 etc. oh well i am guessing i should just part it out, since 12K is like giving the parts away for free.. booooo

Yup. Only sell a car with mods if you just want to get it out of your life and dont care about eating extra thousands of dollars you could make from it. I know its a PITA, but your going to be throwing money away if you sell it with any parts

The market for a car like that is VERY small. There was a guy trying to sell a SICK bugeye with an sti swap in it. Very well built car. I don't even think he got $15k for it.

Part it out. Get as many stock bits on it as you can. Sell it for $12k and be happy.


I have an 04 and I'm looking that if I sold it now I might... MIGHT get 11k for it.

take the parts off and trade in the car. its a b!tch to sell a car or bike private party. you will get a lot of your time wasted by kids who are just trying to get a joy ride in a quick car

you might be able to get a motivated dealer to work with you on the trade in value so you don't lose too much compared to selling it by yourself
