some advice, jdm sti, to sell or not to sell?
 

need some professional opinions so i thought i'd open it to the scoobynet floor! :thumb:
what do you guys think is a good price for a 2004 jdm sti? I'm looking to sell but only if i can get good money but im not too sure what its worth? its in great condition. i'd be hoping for around £!4k?

I'd love to put it into a mark2 type25 but worry about the depreciation, running costs etc.....what do guys think?
pro's and cons?

should i, shouldn't i?

£14k sounds a bit steep fella for a 5yr old car? 35-40% of original value? £10-12k?

I wouldn't switch for a T25 ... just spend some more on the JDM :norty:

have to agree with TX i would not sell for a t25 unless it was a mk2 (based on the hawkeye) with the cosworth engine but they are around £30k, and i think £10-£12k seems fair although put it up at £13.5k and to stop stupid guys wanting what they can not afford and trying to offer you 8k-9k thats what i have done with my p1 (just hope it works) and i still get some intrest in it (crossed fingers)

Yup slightly too high a price, expect no more than say 11-11.5k and bottom end of 10k.
When you can pick up West Moors Motor Company : SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0L TURBO STI VERSION 9 for under 13k and 2 years newer, bit hard to fight really :(

Tony:)

thanks for the info......seems crazy, you get super performance, can better or match virtually any car on the road and at best/fair you get £10-12k! -i sorta thought that but didnt want to admit it! :cry:

if i did put in for a t25, it would have to be a mark2 hawkeye with cosworth engine and all the extra toys but then how likely is that to hold its price? how much would that likely be in 5years time?? :confused:
love the scoob, think the t25 is amazing but if its not going to be worth anything if/when it comes round to changing it, it seems like a silly move. :confused:

raj

^^ Scoob's no different to any other car though is it wrt residuals ... 50% ish after 3yrs, 35-40% after 5 :( We all lose money on our cars!

Looks good, but if I did, it would have to be a hawkeye!

Raj I have recently brought a JDM blobeye sti for 9,500 with 30,000 miles on the clock a month ago with full service history and 6 months warranty on everything.

Sounds like the kind of thing I'm looking for so if you decide to sell give me a shout!

There are some good bargains around but it took me around 2 1/2 months scouting to find this car and a 3 and a half hour drive, one way.

i'll kepp you posted SteveScooby!

Cheers mate

I'm in the same boat and have similar thinking!

Even bought a T25 reg plate in preparation.

I have an 04 JDM Sti V-limited with 30K on the clock and thinking of selling.

I have done the base mods to mine, H&S 100 cell 3" exhaust, green panel filter and AF remap and now putting out 333bhp & 378ft/lbs, A set of Defi's, AST kit c/w Whiteline ALK, ARB, etc and for another 2K could have mine up to 400bhp.

I really fancy the hawkeye T25 in white (If I could get one) but wonder if I can justify the 28-30K price tag. At that kind of money I'm thinking I would be better waiting for the Impreza coupe that is meant to be out next year.

Suspect for the 30K I could buy a coupe and for 4K more on mods have a fair motor and with that thinking it's putting me off buying a Hawkeye.

Would like to see more info on the Coupe! Wonder if Litchfield has any news as I suspect he will be keeping an eye on developments.

Not due in Japan til next year so it might be a bit early yet

.

Tricky one mate! Difficult isn't it!
:wonder:

question is, if you go for a hawkeye, could you get decent money for it in a years time?? The rb320 seems to be holding it's value pretty well.
On the other hand, a year can be a long time if you're wanting to shift your car....while it's still got good value.
