JDM Price guide
hi Guys,
I have seen a JDM I am looking at getting, I just want to find out if the price is correct for it as I have only had UK models before.
2003 JDM Subaru Impreza STI
Mica Blue
59k miles
5 previous owners
8 months MOT
6 Months Tax
Full Service History
Engine:
Walbro Fuel Pump
3 port boost solenoid
K&N Cold Air Induction kit (mounted in inner wing)
Roger Clark Motorsport full exhaust system - brand new, less than 2000 miles old
Mapped by Zak at Mocom Racing
Also has an ECUTEK license from previous tune
Car is priced at £8750, Is this about right?

Even though I'm a JDM owner, that appears to be a high price (imo) for a non widetrack Blobeye package. It's nigh on 9k for a 11yr old STI.
Of course.... if this the market value, then so be it.
Perhaps I'm out of touch with JDM selling prices.

The only thing that would concen me about the above car is the number of owners. That said it is an eleven year old car.
Priced at £8750, I would expect it to realise £8,500 if it is in A1 condition.
The twin scroll is good car in standard form but becomes great with a few mods. As you know.

I would say that is a fair price if the car is in a clean condition. I would be looking for around the same as mine... mine is a three owner car, with similar miles.
Personally a JDM is well worth the extra outlay over a UK spec car, hence why I never bought a UK one.
Be quick though if its been advertised nationally because Cheshire Performance will buy it and then put it up for £14K

You will definitely see a difference,the twinscroll scream is addictive. I do in part miss the burble but how the car performs out ways the different exhaust note.

I have a jdm widetrack and would think I would only get about that price for mine if I decided to sell, but as jdm are rare you always need to move quick if it's a good one.

It depends on the car Shaun. A well maintained, decent conditioned JDM twin scroll will command a small premium over the UK cars.

Original owners normally have the resources to change cars every 2 yrs or so, sometimes even yearly.
What I look for is the length of time each owner had it.
I'd be very cautious if the last,say, 3 owners only had it 18 months between them. Possibly passed it on like a hot potato (or bomb).
