probably more to list but this is all from the top of my head

even RA Motorsport has said this is a extremely nice example of a impreza and my car can be seen on their facebook page under customer cars

bad bits

the front bumper used to have a lester front lip on it but I put it back to standard OEM but it had marked the front bumper a little bit with some scuffing cant
really notice until right up close.

back right wheel arch has a very tiny bit of rust on it but this could be rectified very easily and cheaply

and thats about it for bad bit

a couple of these photos were from before headlight detangoed and zunsport grill painted black




















reasonable opinions on priced welcomed

 

couple more pic I found of the impreza

 

cheers bud

thats for a standard STI though mate
I am trying to gauge what price to sell this one if I decide to sell with all the modifications

cheers

 

That amount of mods can sometimes not help. Most people want to buy as standard as possible and mod them themselves.

 

I guess its finding someone who wants all those mods. Have to say engine bay looks awesome (bit insane for me, but each to their own!) .

There are no major engine upgrades or turbo upgrades? I would probably say around 8.5k to be fair, but you could put it up for more and someone might just absolutely love the car, heavily modified ones are kinda marmite I guess?

 

sometimes yes agree
but if i sell it I am pretty sure somebody would see it and go for it
Looks almost standard from the outside as well


I was going to go full stroker and md321 on it but been feeling like changing to a evo 9 LOL

thats what I would be looking for if I sell it and thats somebody who would just love the look of it as I do


personally I dont think I would take less than 9.5k for the car seeing on how much I have spent on modifications on it.

but if nobody wanted it at that price I could easy keep the car and do my original plans to it,
just wanted some opinions on it

thanks very much fellas

 

With the mods you have I'd say Trinity is right. It's got some nice blingy bits on, you didn't mention interior but leathers are desirable. I'd sort the minor bits out and list it at 9k and take 8.5 if the offer is made.

 

cheers maz

 

However personally I'd sell the upgrades separately. Swap them with money your way for standard bits and I reckon you'll get close to your 9.5k mark. Even at 9.5k I know you're losing money. The upgrades you have aren't cheap!

 

Your in proper JDM STI terroritory with that money, and anyone with half a brain would go for a standard JDM. Its always tough selling highly modified cars, you will never get the return back on them in the end.

I agree with Maz price it higher, and take what you can...or break it/put it back to standard, take the £7k standard price and sell the bits on seperately.

 

Wannabe foreigner AND Evo owner, Jizzmo?

Unfortunately I suspect that's worth a lot more in bits than it is whole.
