hi all , todays a sad day for me and after alot of hard thinking ive come to terms with the fact i need to sell my impreza the reason for sale is because its started to effect my relationship quite a bit due to the fact i spend most my wages on my car as alot of you are aware on here , its had £££'s spent on it !
so can some of you kindly read my spec in "garage" and let me know what you think its worth ? i would really appretiate it

Woah,there's a shock mate,you have only just got her back and mapped.
Sad start to a new year

Owning and modding a car can be a BIG soar point in a relationship though I'm afraid as I'm sure alot of members will know.

All I'll say is do not expect to get back what you have put in, no where near infact.

iTrader: (2)

well to be honest im thinking the fact its just been built its a good selling point as there is still a few months warranty on the build . times are hars for selling at this time and hopefully it will give mine an edge over the others ? plus turbo only done 2.5-3k aswell and 4 brand new tires with 2 spare with car !!

if im to sell ? then nows the time sadly guys

ill miss this little community too

MattyB1983

iTrader: (51)

Be honest, how much are you hoping to get for her ?

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

just because you dont own a subaru you dont have to leave.

iTrader: (2)

yea i know !! but when i look at buying a car like an impreza things like new engine , new turbo , new tires and low mileage is what im gonna go with

I completely agree that buyers will love the fact that it's got a new build/turbo/tyres etc etc, but they will also question why....why is he selling it so soon...

You won't see £6000 for it in my opinion though. £5K maybe.

Keep it, bolt a proper turbo on and have the car you thought it was gonna be. If you had smoked that Evo the other night would you still want to sell it...I think not.

You could always chuck some meth in the mix and get the very most out of your 34,seeing as you have seen 360 already you could probably push 385 with meth.

Micheru

I wouldn't even entertain suggestions that my car has to go, the missus would know better anyway.

The car is probably worth more to you keeping than what you would get selling.

losing to the evo isnt the reason ! im mates with that bloke on facebook now and since found out it was an evo fq360 and he was surprised how well i kept up ! its the fact i really have no money to my name as it all goes on this car !

and i think after patiently waiting a year and a half with it signed off the road whilst saving £££'s for build and spending £££'s on extra goodies !! i learnt to deal without him ! so when i got him on the road finally , i thought " actually , is it worth it ???? a question which ive thought about since ive had it back and the answer for me is no ! i had a civic type r before this and yes obviously its alot slower , but insurance was under half the price , fuel consumption is better , so taking these facts into account i can still get a quick car thats suits me better and leaves me some money to treat the other half too


also been searching piston heads and my mileage is way bellow average at 54,000

maybe you should of cut you losses before the rebuild.
you have a nice specced impreza now and will lose thousands selling.
imprezas dont make sense nowadays keep it and enjoy or take the loss and move on.
you are never going to see that money again.

I will always own a subaru,in my eyes road or track car the best ever built but thats my choice,you can keep your bmw's, evo's,honda's and merc's if you cut me in half it does read subaru iv's checked !

Personally mate you've spent so much on the car you would be a fool to get rid now but the choice is yours dont expect top dollar though as the market is at rock bottom think before you act dont do anything rash and make a bad choice remember cars are like people good and bad in every breed !!!

You need to find a balance mate if you want to keep both. I have the same problem but luckily she is into her horses so we can compromise abit. That was until i spunked over 4k on the bug during the summer and now want to get rid of it for a P1 that will cost a fair bit more


I may need to buy her a bigger horse.....

Difficult times,you will lose quite a bit of money you have invested in the car.But then again if its causing problems it has to go.GLWTS

jinkus

Still pining after the P1 LJ???

Now joy with the sale pal???????

jh1-2009

I would say you,d be lucky to get 4k tbh, oh and (some) women can be money pits just like cars. It,s amazing how many people mod their car to how they want it then get rid. Best option is to keep it and stop modding it. Just repair as and when needed. These cars are not mega money to run, modding is the major expense.

Starting to get a lot more interest now mate, got someone coming to view it at the weekend from France and plenty of offers on Ebay and through pistonheads.


Cant wait to get back into a classic especially the P1 i'm after

For a WRX? no chance. Thats decent sti money at the moment.

jinkus

Well as you know from the WOC im on my second P1 and having had a couple of classics including a P1, an STI Bug, STI Blob and serveral other sports marques the P1 is by far my favourite. Genuine drivers car.

dj219957

as above 6k in 03 sti money. so i reckon 5 k at a push. unfortunatly its rare to make money modding.

L&G.scooby

I must be lucky, I have a great girlfriend who talks me into buying stuff or saving for my next scooby mod. It takes a few months depending on what's next but I'll get there in the end. I'm loving my first scooby and can't wait for it to be 350 ish.
6 k is very good blobeye sti money, I know, I paid quite a bit less than that for MY03STI about 5 months ago.
