I’m coming to that age now where it’s time to get on the property ladder and after a year of saving I’m very nearly where I need to be. Recently I’ve picked up a focus to run the family round in and my car just isn’t getting used so I’m thinking about selling up but I can’t decide what it’s worth
I’ve owned my wrx now for 9 and a half years and been through various power stages but she currently sits at 485bhp, brief spec is
There probably loads I’ve missed but this is a brief spec
I know a lot of people will say the usual comments of oh it’s only a wrx and so on but it’s running some good power would just like to see peoples thoughts
Lovely motor, the price of these been going up recently or people just dreaming. I was talking to a breaker and he did say there are fewer of the cars around hence some of the parts just shot up.
If you can afford it just store it, if not then put it up for how much you would be happy for it to go and see how it does, you always will have some stupid offers like swap for a corsa, but a right offer might come about.
If you need cash fast speak to breakers to see what they can offer you for it.
Either way best of luck, its nice people looking after and completely changing their WRX.
I've been keeping an eye on the market recently and nice WRX's are advertised at £12k. I'm not saying they're selling for that but that would be my starting point. It's easy to bring the price down but not to put it up.
People are looking at it like its "just a standard wrx" I hate that. Its basically a modified STI underneath, a built forged motor, JDM heads and 6 speed. The back brakes are about the only wrx thing left.
Its running 485 bhp. AT £10k will all that work done on it in this market is a steal, someone call the cops lol. Not too sure on price but I'd hazard a guess at £16k
Let me start off by saying that I really don’t want to sell, I’ve had her for 9 and a half years and gone from a standard car (220bhp) to how she stands now but in the last 4 months I just haven’t driven her at all and I’m thinking that if I was to sell her I’d have a 10% deposit instead of a 5%
If I was to decide to sell I was thinking of putting her up for 12k and seeing what happened as she isn’t perfect few age related marks on her and so on
Its just so hard to value her at the minute because I’ve seen standard ish WRX up for 10k and bad STI up for 12k market has gone mental recently think I need to decide first of all if I’m really going to sell her or keep her but currently a house is more important than a car I don’t drive
Seen a few STI's sell for £15, just think you might struggle as its not a real STI, even if it has most of the parts. But yea start at the high end. As seen that many cars get bought and relisted by dealers at insane prices.

Id rather keep it and not drive it than sell it for peanuts I get the usual comments that it’s not a sti and so on and I’m not really fussed about that as real enthusiast know exactly what hard work has been put into this to get it to this stage hence why I posted this question in here and not on Facebook as there’s so many tools on there
