How much would you pay for my car?

Post by turboleg »

I'm just wondering what my car is worth to the subaru crowed.

Stats:
91 Legacy L - 125,000 original miles

EJ22T Swapped in from 93 SS (roll-over) Engine has around 80,000 miles on the clock

5 speed from a 94 wagon - Mileage is unknown 150K+ I believe - shifts great and has never given me any problems other than a leaking front seal (that's my fault for not changing it when I swapped)

KYB AGX struts, H&R Springs, WRX shifter, KB Shifter Bushings, GRPN Motor Mounts and Tranny Mounts

Here's a link to a lot of pictures of the car after a bath:

Thanks

Maybe around $2,500 - $3,000?

While I would love to be able to say $3K or something we all would consider reasonable, there are a few SSs in the Parts Shed that are slow sellers even sub $2K.

Seems we might be in an SS downturn. :/

'94 FWD and '95 AWD Laguna Blue SVXs.

Forgot the adjustable Whitline Latteral links and C-style rear sway links (you probably noticed them in the pictures anyway).

Thanks guys.

Realistically $1-2k.

Swaps usually don't add much value to the car, same goes for aftermarket parts.....unless you find the right buyer.

To give you an example. If I were to sell my car, I'd get a boat load more money if I were to part it out, and sell everything individually, then to sell the whole car as is.

The only subaru swaps I know of that can add value are when you convert an Impreza to wide body 22b/sti spec. Otherwise?

Josh, a higher dollar value for a parts out was my original feelings about it as well.

I do think that I can get a bit higher dollar value out of selling the overall car around my area. People around western NY go crazy over AWD cars. I've seen Subarus go for what I consider a "stupid" price. I was eye balling a 94 L wagon AWD for a while at my neighbors house. He was asking $3,000, it was certainly nothing special at just under 200K miles. Body was in better shape than most around this area, but still no where near the legacy I have. I still can't believe he got anywhere near what he was asking. On the other hand, Subarus are a rarity in my neck of the woods. Closest dealership is over 150 miles away from home.

The reason I am asking about the price of this car is that I have been considering dumping the H6 into this car with a more reputable transmission. I would then probably offer the EJ22T for sale. Just trying to see what would be more worth while.

Thanks for all of your input!

That is true....area has a lot to play into a car's resale value. Selling my legacy in TX would be stupid.....selling it up in the PNW, Colorado, or the NE would probably fetch a better price.
