Shello007 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have an 05 LGT Sedan I am thinking about trading for a one owner, never modified Wagon. Always wanted one but had to settle for sedan due to rareness of Manual Trans. GT models. I am curious as to how much it will cost to build a wagon to replicate my current Sedan. Wondering if it's worth it...Yes it will be a fun new project, but having this sedan's engine replaced with brand new short block, kinda makes me like a first time owner. I need the space for my bike and sundry items, which is one of the main reasons for wanting the wagon. Decisions decisions. ...anyway, if you have a wagon and want to trade with my sedan let me know. Has a VF 52, stage 2.5, ( Full Custom Catback) Tein/ Spec B Suspension, and only 37K on short block, about 7k on Stage 2 clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holla Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If I were in your situation I'd find a clean wagon shell with a blown motor for cheap and swap your fresh engine and mods over to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Why do you need us to do the math for you ? Don't you remember what you paid for the stuff ? Oh wait, it depends on what the wagon has done to it. Gee how much would you give me for mine ? But wait, its not for sale. I did just put a new OEM left ball joint in and had the right front OEM axle boots replaced with OEM boots. That's adds about $90 worth of parts tot he price... The brakes only have about 2000 miles on them. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

lingling1337 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If the wagon is a limited and you can afford to take the $2-3k hit selling the sedan, its absolutely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, when I was talking about cost to make the wagon akin to my sedan I was actually referring to removing my gauges, ICE, front lip spoiler, grille, wheels, Intercooler ( guess that's not too hard if you think about it.) and swapping them. I have two interested parties, who want my sedan and are willing to take a return to 'stock' version. Oh well, when I test drive the wagon I'm interested in, that'll be the determining factor.
