hi guys what would be a fair price to sell my V4 sti type r.
here is the spec below cant post pics at the mo as my wife has knackered the camera.

spec:
cat back exhaust
apexi leads
zero sports induction kit
hks mushroom filter
wiseco pistons and rods
cometic head gasket
arp head studs
16" gold sti wheels
spare hsr 17" wheels also black with polished lip
tinted windows font legal and back are dark as they came from japan
dccd thumb wheel for diff control
around 60k miles
ac pillar gauges boost oil pressure and air fuel.
all usual sti v4 spec facelift interior light weight panels diff control etc...

recent work carried out
full rebuild including forged internals as mentioned above i.e. pistons
timing belt change
oil change
new radiator
new oil pump
new water pump
compression tested

im the 1st uk owner on the car
it is in white
long mot and tax
drives absoloutly spot on suspension feels very comfortabel and steering feels tight mechanically it is sound now.
im estimating it at around 300-320 bhp with the mods at least. and with the work carried out on the engine it is as bullet proof as u can get. which is what i asked for when rebuilding the engine hence all the new parts like oil pump water pump and radiator

bad points
minor dent on drivers door have been quoted 200 pounds to fix it
i blew the engine abt 2 weeks in to driving it and now have fully forged the engine.

thats all i can remember off the top of my head
would really like to know what its worth now and if any body would be interested.

i would take a px if anyones interested in that also...

How much you looking for a straight sale?

redsuk

well i bought it for 5500 unregistered and spent the around 3k mark getting it right still needs 200 for fixing a dent.

so as u can see owes me far far too much. i know i wont get much of that back
as u can buy standard-ish ones for abt 5500-6000. and decent ones for about 7500.

but im really unsure as to how much i want back as ive spent so much money and as mentioned its now fully forged which is very expensive to do and definatly a must if ur buying one of these as with my experiance! the car was a grade 4 import so its meant to be clean as a whistle.

im taking serious offers until i can figure out what its worth so please just bid away.

Mate you need to stick up pics and details of the build, otherwise your waisting your time. Especially as a fully forged in two weeks is some going. Good luck, i may be ointerested if its all pukka

redsuk

You still need to stick up pics, and details of who did the work. Then we can talk.

redsuk

no probs will post up recent pics soon as i can. im putting up some pics from when the car was on the way down from japan in the meantime. i had the work carried out locally from MPB they are very well renowned in stockport around 15 years in business i will dig out some more information soon as i can for you. they also supplied most bits like rad oil pump and water pump
the forged parts were what they advised me to buy mostly from ebay.

redsuk

click on view my scooby added couple of pics on their until i get my camera sorted. then il post up some decent looking photos.

redsuk

bump anyone tell me what its worth???

redsuk

come on ppl i need some idea as to what sum1 would pay as i need to advertise it for sale soon. any help would be highly appreciated....

itr786

who carried out the rebuild? do you have receipts for all the bits/rebuild?? what was the mileage when it had it done?

market is on its ar*se, especially for sports cars, and it won't be getting any better for some time yet.

redsuk

yes got all receipts for everything ever done.
i have done around 3-400 hundered miles before the engine went.
mileage is around 60k miles as odometer shows kilometers
not really been driven much since rebuild.

still none the wiser to what i should be taking on a sale. anyone else help?

ruislip

your be lucky to get £5,000

hi there pal sti v4/5 type r prices start at about 4700 to 6500 year 97 to 99 with low milage 40k to 60k there go for less on ebay but you could be buying a shed hope this helps

jamespovey

i am selling my impreza if any body is interested, it has 12 months MOT and tax til the end of DECMEBER 08. it has had a recent service and oil change and is advertised on piston heads and autotrader.

redsuk

hmm thanks sounds about right as its what ive been looking at when searching the net.

so would you reckon i should be asking around 7k as its a fresh build with forged internals?

I've got an APi rebuild in mine & don't reckon ill get much more than the going rate if i decided to sell ...for every possible buyer who thinks it a good thing to have had the engine rebuilt, there will be an equal number who'll wonder what you've done to cause it to let go ...so imo you wont get much more than you paid for it

shawnkng

hi there pal if i was selling the car i get that door repaired so it was mint again and list everything the car had done and sell the car with some guarantee on the engine cause if the buyers paying top money its expected kind regards shawn

redsuk

so with the door fixed it it should go for 7k. i will most probably get the door fixed before i put it up for sale properly. unless anyone wants it as it is for a cheaper saving me a bit of time. il book it in monday with elite auto refinshing in manchester who quoted me 200 they are insurance approved and the work is guaranteed. so offers welcome until sunday.
