Pako Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It is a sad day for me. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, I have to sell my Subie. Mileage is just under 50k for my Limited 2.5. This is not a "For Sale" thread. I will start that later. Just looking for advise on whether I should sell it stock or with the mods I have done to it? If I were to try and sell it with the mods, where should I start, price wise? Honestly, I had plans on keeping this car for a very very long time and hate to sell it but.... The upgrades were modest: Cobb DP Magnaflow Exhaust ST Cobb Shifter Shifter bushings Infamous Stg2 E-Tune KW Variant 2 Coilovers 18" Motegi Racing wheels. All stock parts were not harmed and available to the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a93x Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would take off the cat-back and coilovers if you are mechanically inclined and able. Then keep the rest on it. Unless you find a prospective buyer right away and don't want the hassle of uninstalling parts torque impresses girrls, hp impresses flat-bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttnio Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sell with your mods on. Looks like you have all the oem parts that you modded on hand.That is a big plus. Be ready to take a loss on your mods. You have very conservative mods. Think about a price that will sell your car,and be competitive with the other seller. Good luck.

Mr. Sinister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Return it to stock if you're trading it in or selling to a dealer since you won't get anything back for your mods. Leave them on and work with the buyer on what to leave on if it's a private sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pako Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the input guys. I'm not in a rush to sell it so I guess I will ask for a fair price. Since I did all the installs myself, I can save someone the cost of labor, etc. ~Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouzGT Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i would put the stock suspension and exhaust back in, you could get a decent amount for them. Id def be interested in the KW v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave them on and work with the buyer on what to leave on if it's a private sale. The closer to stock the better off you will be in the end. I've learned this from many cars.

idiot4hire Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Sell the parts locally and maybe knock a few bucks off of the parts and have them help you with the work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The closer to stock the better off you will be in the end. I've learned this from many cars. It depends on who you plan on selling the car to. If you're selling it to an enthusiast, they might pay a little extra for the mods since they don't have to do any of the work to install the mods themselves and both sides win.

ttnio Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 By now, you should have a price in mind. What price range do you intend to sell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Idk what the kbb says but i would think...08 50k is worth atleast 16k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's always best to remove all mods and sell separately if you want to get maximum money back. Mods in general wont raise the price of a car. In many cases they will lower it or deter potential buyers. I just bought one recently and was only looking for bone stock gt's. WWW.MODDICTION.COM Moddiction Stainless steel and Titanium shift knobs. Drivetrain, suspension, brakes, exhaust, cooling, fuel, gauges+MUCH more!

andnyleswillriot Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 trade it for my 09 2.5i w/42k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassa Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Agree w/others - sell at least the coils and exhaust. Depending on condition & sale price, looks like there would be plenty of interest for the coils......including myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S402 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 You are better off putting it to stock other than the bushings. You will recover more money and your parts will sell faster than the car. Interested in the Cobb dp if its mt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
