Kind of sounds like it came out of nowhere, but I've been thinking about doing this for sometime.
Don't worry, I won't be veering away from Subaru at all, I have plans for the money already.

The reason for this: A friend and I are going to be doing a rally project and I need more money than I have saved up currently. Also, to get my car where I want it (basically track ready for me) I need to dump a bit of money into it, which just won't work if I want to do rally.
Don't get me wrong, I love my car. I have babied this thing since I bought it in '06. Its gone through a lot since I got it, basically completely transformed, but I think its time for some change.


So anyway, I'm looking to see how much you guys think I would be able to sell it for.

A couple of things to note, I think I would take the CF trunk and wing off and replace it with an OE coupe spoiler and trunk lid. Also, I might keep the Sparcos, but I'm not sure right now.

Also, the rust will be repaired and the car might be mostly repainted when I sell it

Lastly, one thing to note; the car is 98% not stock. Basically everything has been replaced with parts from the 2006 WRX I bought for my swap

The car is basically a 2006 WRX in a 98 RS shell

So here is what the car has, I'll try to remember everything:

That should just about cover it I believe. There might be a few little things here and there but I think I pretty much got everything

Let me know what you guys think it will be worth and it will probably be up for sale right before summer time.

 

15k?

 

This thread makes me very sad. Don't do it.

 

+1

but his future plans do sound pretty good, and fun.

 

that's a bit steep, considering there have been STi swapped cars sold for 10-12k

don't do it!

 

^ Well thats what I would pay for the car, It's very well done and has a lot more than that into it.
