FS/TRADE: Cleanest WRX STi conversion in MA

Hello everyone,

Below is my farewell to my wonderful wrx who has brought much joy and fun to my life over the last couple years. I treated it like a child and it is time to part ways with it. I put it here as a one of a kind machine, with extreme thoughtfulness put into mods, and all loose ends tied up. Whoever does get possession of this car will be very happy with it, and enjoy it more then i can. New job forces new car and different lifestyle - so it has been garaged. It is time to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as i once had the time to do. Car is fully paid for and i am not in a financial position where i need to sell it. It is garaged and not taking up space. I own a few cars. I am looking to move into a 335i BMW.

Trade for a 335i or 07 STI? Why not just trade it in at a dealership then? If you feel you won't get what it is fully worth then sell some of the parts first. Also you state you want $19,500. I'm sorry but a 335i is worth well over that.

Seems like a good car, bug eye design was the best in my opinion. Car does looks pretty clean. Good luck with the sale.

Np, Man. But again if your willing to add cash why not go to dealer? Credit not good? If so then I can see why. But if you can easily get a loan that would seem like the better option.

Where in Mass are you? I never seem to see any nicely modded cars like yours.

Credit is amazing, I have 3 cars. The WRX is paid. Dealers don't appreciate or want modded cars. I deal with them as little as possible. I am sales by trade myself and even i don't like dealing with my own kind. Trades also nix out sales tax and other hassle. Lots of people buy into BMW's and higher end cars and don't end up wanting the payment. This is where I step in.

I'm in Worcester.

Honestly one of the nicest modded WRX's I've ever seen. With all the choices out there, you basically chose every one perfectly. You even listed your prices very conservatively (those JDM HID lamps are $1200 all day) I like how it's not modded to the hilt. Having driven a stage 4 with VF34, I can tell you this car will be frighteningly fast. Also, I had the KYB adjustable AGX setup, and it is a phenomenal system.

Overall, this car is a prize winner.

Big Thumbs up from a previous WRX tuner.

If a dealer will offer $10,000 for a run-of-the-mill STi, they'll offer $10,000 for yours- all that great stuff means nothing to them. A specialty dealer may be different, but they are rare.
Car looks amazing.
Couldn't you at least have cleaned it for the pics? That was a joke, by the way.
Good Luck with the M.

^ already posted that he already sold it (I think) and isn't around this forum these days... He became an E46 boy as of a few months ago.
