I recently bought this car from a fellow NY’er but am having some legal issues and other crap that are eating up my time and money preventing me from putting the work into this car that I had intended to.

**The ONLY “bad” on the car is the paint scuffs and the fact that the Link Plus ECU does not operate the OBD2 port, but I have options for potential buyers and could have it working before purchase.

Taking offers, accepting reasonable ones.

this car has, no expense was spared, every paper including the original window sticker was kept. Here is a small sample of a few:

All in all its a great looking, powerful, and a reliable car that can be used as a daily driver. I was planning on completing the motor with all STI goodies (heads and such) allowing me to toss on an ECS merged harness and run a flashed ECU that would pass inspection.
The next owner doesn’t have to do anything like that and they could drive it as is, but putting that work into it would add to the value of the car anyway.

Price roundabout?

3

looks very nice! GLWS

4

taking offers. I’ll put it in perspective though.

A stock RS with no rust and sub 100k mileage will sell for $7-8k
A RS with a low mileage STI engine but stock trans with a moderate body sell for $12-13k

5

sooo… $3,500-5,000?

6

Yikes! Ok outta my range :lol

Glws

7

damn…approx how much invested? im seein receipts for about ~10k give or take a couple hundred…

8

hard to say, I don’t have documents for parts purchased online such as the axis stage 2 short block… I do have dozens more including oil changes, alignments, audio/alarm installs, previous tuning… Granted lots of the stuff isn’t on the car anymore (intake back in 99, super charger in '00…)

9

5k?

10

I’ll pass, thanks.

11

nasty ! glws man u always got somethin nice to sell

12

yea, and I still have all of it because nothing fucking sells. Bah!

13

can we stop beating around the bush and tell us a solid price or a roundabout i have someone who is interested

14

somewhere between 11 and 12 depending on what all is included.

15

Might have some people interested - ill let you know when I hear back :thumb

16

Sounds good. and FYI to those interested. I have a built PPG transmission which had a problem. I just had it checked out and it was a very minor issue being taken care of this week.

It can also be included with the car for the right price…

02 WRX trans with PPG helical cut 1-4, forester rear diff with LSD

10k miles on this $3100 motor:
http://www.axispowerracing.net/stage2motor.html

5200 for the rallispec stage 2 turbo kit with all this:

Turbonetics t3/t4 Turbo w/ported inlet housing
Rallispec/dentsport custom intake with pipercross filter.
Manual Boost Controller
USDM sti injectors
Rallispec upipe, wrapped downpipe.
Stock headers with EGT-probe tapped
Tial 38MM External Wastgate (w/ dumptube into dp)
Rallispec Custom Intercooler for 2.5RS

so now lets review prices here.

20k car
1.3k wheels
408 tires
5.2k turbo kit
3.1k block
500 jdm bumper
250 suspension kit
250 jdm fog covers
110 jdm front grill
220 lip
500+ tuning

So without counting the sparco seats, EMS, paint work, labor, alarm/remote start, BRAKES, hubs, strut bars, bushings… with out all that we’re at $32k

So when I ask for 12k that’s depreciation of over 62% on a RARE car, in RARE condition, with RARE parts, and MORE power than an STI.

18

Modified first post with lots more goodies included… Can a mod clean up the thread a bit?

19

$150 to anyone who finds a buyer for me by november

20

how much you looking for the tranny / rear end alone. My wagon might be able to use a setup like that. What LSD in the rear?
