GTLEGACY007 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 What's up people, could use a little help here. I'm definitely going to be selling the LGT soon, and i'm wondering what the best route to go is. I recently pulled all of the aftermarket goodies off of the car that I had stock parts lying around for, or could easily acquire. So here's how the car sits now- 2005 LGT OBP, just clicked 70k miles, all factory options including cold weather package, clean title, located in Northern California. Interior is a pretty much flawless 9/10. exterior has a few door dings, nothing major, typical 6 yr old Subaru paint, and the passenger side rear tire has very minimal curbing. I'd say overall the exterior is an 8/10. In addition to the stock options, it's got the following modifications: Interior Diode Dynamics LED kit Exterior 20% Tint AVO Grille w/ GT badge Tinted Front Signal Overlays Tinted Signal Mirror Overlays Smoked Tail Light Overlays with Oval Cutouts Tuning Now Stock Drivetrain Kartboy Front Shifter Bushings Kartboy Rear Shifter Bushings GroupN 5MT Transmission Mount GroupN Transmission Crossmember Bushings Exhaust Now stock Suspension Rallitek Springs Rallitek 19mm Rear Swaybar Rallitek Rear HD Endlinks Perrin LCA Bushings Braking 04' STi Brembos- front Stoptech Street Series pads- front Stock LGT rear calipers- painted black Hawk HPS pads- rear Techna-Fit SS brake lines all around DBA Street Series slotted rotors all around Wheels/Tires Rota Gravels 18X8 Hankook Ventus V12 235/40/18 FastWrx "Carbon" STi overlays With all that being said, i'm trying to figure out what a realistic asking price for the car is. I'm also contemplating trading the car in to a dealership, just for the convienence of it. I'd realllllllly like to not do this, as i'm sure they'd give me way less for the car than I could private party, but I can't go very long without a vehicle, so if I were to sell the car to a private party, i'd be at the mercy of whatever cars were on the market at that second, and within the following couple of days. What are your guys opinions on how much the car is worth, both to a dealership and to a private party? Thanks in advance. Here's how the car looks: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb223/0honegt/Legacy/IMAG0043.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 No clue, maybe around 10-12 grand? You never get back what you put into the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It would be worth more if it was stock. So your list of stuff droped it's value Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightballrj Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I agree with frank_ster in most instances. That is unless you can find an enthusiast that likes the way you have modified the car. FYI I just paid $13,500 for my basically stock (Cobb STS and an aftermarket grill) 2005 OBP LGT Limited with 68,000 on it. I just gave him what he was asking for it on Autotrader which is actually 500 less than KBB's value for a "good" condition car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack-V Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 $6.72 I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Strip it down to stock. Sell it off for fair market value in your area. Or strip it down and trade it in at a dealer and demand that they give you top trade in dollar for it. Then, sell the mods on this site for a few Grand. But don't bother selling it with all the mods privately or at dealer trade in. You won't get anything extra for it all. If I was in the market, I would offer you fair market value for it as is, but nothing more for the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nospmoht04 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 FYI, dealer wanted to give me $14,500 in New England for my '07 spec.b with 74k after I sent it stock. I reconsidered and kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubarYOU Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just paid $14,000 Canadian for my 05 GT limited which was a wholesale cost because I work at the dealership. It has 66,000km which is roughly 41,000 miles. We were going to ask $18,999 for it. Up here where I live in Calgary these are very rare cars generally 05-07 limited are listed for 18-21,000 depending on mileage and if its a wagon or sedan.

GTLEGACY007 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hmm.... mostly confirmed what I'd suspected. I know i'd eat whatever mods I left on the car, just takes so much effort to pull all the parts haha. Looks like i'll be on the lookout for some stock parts to replace all the aftermarket with. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodax Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Man, this thread is depressing for all the people who mods their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I sold my last vehicle with all the mods on it -- an enthusiast bought it. Going back to stock can be a real pain in the butt sometimes, especially if you don't have your OEM parts. I saved the DP for my SpecB so I can (maybe) go back to stock when I sell it. Then I can sell my DP and AP separately from the car. Whoever buys mine will probably know it was modded because of the aftermarket gearbox, though.

Gire Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I sold my last car, a heavily modded Acura, to an budding enthusiast, but it was for only a grand higher than street value (I had previously turfed all the OEM parts in a dumpster when i had to move houses). The seriously low clicks were a benefit more than anything. And it took 3 months to find the right buyer. With this car, I have kept ALL OEM parts, knowing that a de-mod back to stock is the best way to sell the car privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPjeep2002 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 When I sell mine, I am going to sell as is. It would be too much of a pain in the ass to go back to stock on the little amount of time I have. I know I'm going to eat the cost, but that's what you get for having a hobby that shows no return for the love you treat it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
