specb338 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Contemplating selling my 2006 spec.B. It has 55,000 miles, one owner, very good condition, no mods. What do you guys think it's worth? Being a special edition (one of 500 units made in 2006), does that realistically add value over a regular 2.5GT Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes. Dealers and private sellers have been pricing SpecBs locally at anywhere from 20-25k, median being 23 and some change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrendelGT Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 With the reputation for being abused they have acquired, they are generally worth a little less. But if you pm me I'll offer you the same value as a favor. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrendelGT Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 In all seriousness, pm me for a phone number or email address. I live about 30 minutes from you and I may be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nouse4aname Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I picked up my 07 Spec B which there were actually fewer made of than the 06 with ~80k miles on it for $16k... Was at a Honda dealer so they were just going by the book not knowing it was rare though presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06lgtspecb Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just for reference I picked up my Stock 06 spec b with 52k on the od for $15.5 with two sets of tires in very good condition from a private seller. This was about 8 months ago now. I might be selling it soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PtPixel Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 ^ that's a far more realistic price than $20k+.... Since the 06 Spec.Bs didn't have a 6 speed I wouldn't expect too much more than a limited GT. Unless you can sell to a true enthusiast then maybe $1-2k more than the GTs at most. My guess... $16k Even the later model 6 speed specBs will only fetch about $3k on top of a normal GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I saw some crazy high spec.B list prices while I was looking, but most were private sellers from cold climates. I'm in the Southeast and I picked up my 08 with 60K miles for 17.4K last year. It was also at a non-Subaru dealership and my other-enthusiasm for the car probably hurt my price negotiations a bit... oh well. So far, I've only had to flush all the fluids and replace the drive belts and plugs. I agree with others that 06 is probably least 'unique' of all the spec.Bs. It wasn't even on my radar because of it's lack of 6MT and red interior (which I don't car for, but others do... it may be a real plus for some).

GrendelGT Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 For reference, there is a 06 black on black GT with 63k in great condition, new tires, 2 owners and no mods but with minor parking lot ding repairs on the Carfax in north Chicago. He had it listed at $17,500 for 3ish months and as far as I know he hasn't sold it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyjames Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Youre looking to sell to one of us or a person that likes that crazy interior Mid teens max. Agree. The person who buys your car is probably already hopelessly addicted to reading this forum. These cars are a blast, but they are all at best 5 years old now, so the general public isn't interested. Your low miles will be a draw, but how modded it is matters a lot too. Most enthusiasts want a (well-maintained) blank canvas and seem willing to pay a little more if they can find one.
