WTB: OEM VF46 Turbo

Postby ExRex » Tue Oct 23, 2012 11:08 pm

As per title, I'm looking for an OEM VF46 turbo in very good to excellent condition. I'm in no major hurry if you currently have one and are looking to upgrade in the coming months, but can also buy quickly if something good comes along at the right price. Please PM with details and approx asking price - thanks!

Thanks Boostaddict... yeah, it's my SH9 (MY09) Forester XT Premium, 5MT

On another note, I may have blown an opportunity to buy a VF46 by going too low-ball with an offer, based on what I'd seen sold online already...
What sort of $$$ is a fair price for a VF46 in good nice with say 50,000-100,000k's on it?

Fair price is whatever the seller is willing to accept, and whatever you are willing to pay. I've seen these get sold really cheap and really expensive so it's hard to pick a price.

What would be the max you would want to spend?

Yeah, thanks Rome_STI. Based on what I've seen I'd pay $300-$400 depending on the k's on the turbo. That's obviously not at the expensive end of the scale but, it seems to be around the mark for a reasonable buy. I'm a patient man, something will come along, some day ;)
