How Much?
Im gettin rid of the car. Due to my current circumstances i can no longer afford keeping the car and building it to the level i wanted to. So how much would it be worth?
Its a 1997 P WRX Import. The engine is good with no rattles, estimated milage is around 40k as it was relatively new when i had it off MattBr5 on here. Car is completely stripped out including soundproof,interior trim ect. Would make an excellent track build for someone.
Only down side is a leak on the gearbox which cant be traced. Also the clutch is fubard due to the oil leak. Lots of bits to go with it aswell icluding Whiteline front ARB,repainted 4 pots and discs (unsure of condition of seals,pistons ect) 2x Sabelt bucket seats and 4 point harnesses. Snap off steering wheel,Japspeed quickshift kit with nylon gear ****, flocked dash and genuine RA roof flap. Probably more but just after an idea. Would like to sell whole with all the bits.

So with the clutch gone it's a non-runner ? Not on ASKMID so I guess it's not insured / MOT / Taxed
Few hundred quid really as the market is a bit limited for non-running track day toys

Clutch is slipping so can be driven but the oil leak on the gearbox is quite big so wouldnt suggest it gets driven. It has MOT but it is currently SORN.

Get it fixed!!
You`ll never get the value of it back, so its strip or keep.
Also lower your standards a bit, its fine for use now as long as you fit a second hand box and new clutch. Its easy to lose faith in something when its not used, but get it done and sorted. And your smile will come back.

Unfortunately calv, like the others have said, if you sell it as complete, you may get £500 to £1k tops.
Would be better to split it. Engine £500, shell £700 ish. Brakes £200, harnesses £150ish, diff £30, gearbox as is £50/75, wheels £150/250 and then any other bits you have

My advise comes in 3.
Strip it yourself - (not hard, but you`ll be left with loads of bits and hassle).
Leave it where it is - (and decide later fix or strip)
Sell as it is - (and make a massive loss)
But me I`d leave it where it is until I`ve enough to change the box, as thats all thats wrong with it, so if you decided to sell you`d get more than the £200 back that you`d spend out on a box.

Hi Calv im gutted your feeling like this mate, i would hold off if you can you will be gutted, alot of us have been where you are now i know the easy option seems to be get shot for what you can get but you will only buy another one once you have another job which you will get. in haist people do things they later regret and i think you will. remember at the meet you me and matt were going to do some track days together. if i was you i would leave the car be for a month or so and focus on finding a new job they are out there you just got to search for them and try things that knowbody else is doing like approaching companies and doing a day for free and showing what youve got.
Or try your luck be brave and start your own business, there is no better time mate theres lots of help and plenty of money on offer from the government to help you. Keep it and me and you can have a play on the track in a few months.
as for not having the know how to fix, thats why you are on scoobynet, there is a welth of knowladge on here and iv never been let down with help, this place is the biggest group of freinds iv ever experianced. Dont go anywhere calv well miss you.

I know how to fit/remove gearboxes, engines, and most other mechanical stuff, and have the tools to do it and I'm literally spitting distance from your house!!

Well i put it on pistonheads today for £1500 and had 4 emails within an hour so cross fingers. At the end of the day its done 120 miles in 3 years so keeping it is not an option. When/if i get another job then i will probably buy another one. As some of you remember i was toying with getting a Type R a few months back so if i get shot of this then there will be room in the garage for a toy in the future.
