Indeed it was, he is really smart but odd. He sent a base tune and 3 revisions and never answered me again. So I assume my tune was complete. Its been 7 months lol.

I am referencing someone i know through a mutual friend, the facts pertaining to my car is that it was fully rebuilt with all new OEM parts except for what was listed. So yes, looking up that low of mileage EJ257 with 5k miles and VF52 is more expensive than my car, such is why I refuse to sell it for what just the 160k Legacy GT would go for. If a EJ257 engine with a VF39 and 71k miles cost 4k why would i sell mine which has to be 6-8 years newer or more with a nice car for 6000? Also why would I need a short block?

sheesh, that sounds like a subaru im trying to do exactly that though and pay for a car outright. Although, someone offered me $2000 and a 2017 motorcycle worth about 7k. hmmm?

I appreciate the input, I will say I paid $6400 for this car and many others were ready to do the same and one tried to bid war me haha which leads me to believe I can still get a decent price. There seems to be a growing market over here for these, people are selling 140k stock for $6500. I understand the worries of engine swapping but I refuse to pretend its not a 5k WRX STI with a VF52 and sell it for normal $6000 GT price. Only reason I got it for that is because previous owners daycare cost $1200 a month haha.

Yeah they bought a full built long block '13 ej257, came with literally everything you could think of but a car I think their plan was to get some $1000 junkyard rescue and slap it in hahaha. Not that I'm prying on anyone but people here have MONEY and lots of it. Thats why I'm looking for a more accurate ballpark range otherwise I'll list it for $9000.

That's the first I've ever heard something like this, care to elaborate why I'd need a short block?

the crazy part is I meant just the motor, for 7k. No car! and i know who bought it

Thank you I just ordered my free kit which is nice, my original estimation was I could probably get around $8500 but after researching other similar vehicles around me they sell for more, even ones with far more engine mileage. Around here people are paying roughly ~$7000 for just the EJ257 full built motor with a VF48 and 40k on it. I have much more than just that to offer haha.

Hello all, I have an issue finding a price point to sell my car for haha. The difficulty is the fact that it is engine swapped and modded (who's isn't), and I do not know the year of the engine, just that the block had 800 miles when I got it and now the whole engine has ~5k. Therefore I'm kinda stumped. Upon doing research everyone has concluded you really cant figure out the exact year by just looking. But with only 800 miles it had to be relatively new. The turbo is rather clean it's definitely slightly older than the engine though. She is a 2008 LGT 5MT, 160k on the body, paint is how you'd expect for the age and the inside is very clean. EJ257, STI rods, STI crank, 100m forged pistons rated for 450hp, bored to 2.57, VF-52 (19.7 PSI), 3 inch catless dp, 2 inch up pipe, dw 65c fuel pump, (clutch, sway end links, battery, and right front wheel bearing BRAND NEW) and all protuned from tuning alliance. Comes with the accessport as well. Reason for selling is to get a paid off newer car, I paid a very modest price for this as the owner was a Subaru master tech who needed money and sold me his brand new untuned rebuild. She's been my daily now for almost 8 months and the 19 MPG for 280 miles and $40 a tank is still awesome, besides that theres nothing wrong mechanically Thank you to anyone that actually reads this and tries to help!
