Hi all,
I used to come in here years ago when i first bought my car but havent for a long time and forgot my login so had to make a new one.
I need some advice please, I have a black 08 tuned by STi wagon, i was due to sell it a year ago but 2 days before handing it over it threw a rod, bye bye engine!
As I had already spent $5k getting it up ready for sale I spent another $9,000 and bought a new block from subaru and had the engine fully rebuilt. Since the rebuild it has about 30,000km on it.
I no longer need the vehicle and want to sell it. The main issue is my ex wife drove it for a year in country Vic and it has a lot of paint chips and scratches, it could do with a respray.
Apart from that its in great condition and a new near engine should surely interest a potential lover of these vehicles.
I've seen 3 of these (sedans though) currently on car sales for $18,500.
So my question is, should i get the car a full respray? Or sell it as is?
I actually have no idea what it might be worth with the near new engine, its insane how well these vehicles hold their value!
