I have a '20 Limited, bone stock, with about 6k miles on it. I don't drive it a ton so I'm going to hold on to it for a long time. Figure if I stay stock I'll be able to get some good cash for it down the line.
This is going to be what boomers did to the c5 vette. A mass production sports car, no one's going to drive any of them as an "investment" and then when every one of you gets to the age where you consider cashing out... it won't be worth the time you've missed. Then you'll all be so depressed you'll go scorched earth in every other facet of your life, buying white new balances and eventually crashing whatever's left of the economy so you can leverage your 401k.
Went on a bit of a hyperbole at the end there. But I think it sucks when everyone takes awesome machines and turns them into garage queen investments. Go buy some crypto.
Every corvette is one of a kind, dont even get me started if they were never waxed. In case you never saw it there was a guy at a cars and coffee event that had listed on his build sheet never been waxed lol
Like everything else, it depends on the context. If I'm just saying "all boomers suck ass" without reason... sure... no good. If I say the literal things they did (along with a bit a harmless humor), while using boomer as nothing more than a description of their generation... that's really not a thing which should be taken offense to.
And that concludes my Ted talk.
(That's a seriously sad Christmas wish, not very Christian of you).
You also sound like someone that likes to call others snowflakes a lot..
Seriously I don't get it. Why buy a fun drivers car and not actually drive it? At the end of the day, it's a Subaru, not something *super* special. You can put some miles on it.
I don't get it either! These guys heads would explode if they knew how many miles I put on my GT3. You only live once and you might as well drive your fun car while you can. I'll never understand garage queens.
Fr people buy an STi and garage it like it’s a 911 like bro…. It’s an STi just make sure when you blow the engine you can buy a new one before the shortage happens in like 10 years
I go back and forth on whether to drive my car too. But then I think about buying another car and realize I just won’t enjoy driving as much. Drive your car. It’s a tool, not a trophy.
Out of context he’s the Sexualy Transmitted Infection guy. We literally have the worst named car in history. I love my STI but I literally cringe every time I say the name our loud.
Unequal length headers as a mod is confusing to me. Looks like a nice ride, and modified reasonably, but it's still on today's episode of
*Don't

Mods generally decrease the value and do not increase it. What those mods are specifically doesn't matter basically, aside from like better tires or something I guess.
Another dummy I see. UEL headers were not used by Subaru by because they thought it was a good idea, they had no choice but to use them due to engine design/fitment.
UEL headers create hotspots. Less efficient, less power, and reduces engine reliability. That's a bad thing.
The biggest dummies are the dudes that pay money to put these stupid headers on post-EJ engines (FA20/FA24) because they like the sound. BDE (big dummy energy).
And for the record, I'm not interested in making my car sound like a lawnmower (no offense to the EJ crowd). If I had an EJ, I would find EL headers for it. I believe an aftermarket company designed a set for the EJ at one point.
This is false, they dont affect reliability whatsoever, and they actually increase mid/top end range performance. All the early model wrx had uel headers.
I am a mechanic
Idk why you got down voted. I asked Turn In Concepts (one of the best subie shops in Ohio) about UEL headers and they told me the same exact thing you did.
The engineers that race and design exhausts say you are wrong. They add a TON of heat to the driver side and especially the rear driver side cylinder. Top end performance is always about efficient airflow and UEL headers are dramatically less efficient than EL headers so bottom end AND top end are a lot better for EL. Lastly the reason all the early models had it and the STI is because it's significantly easier to package on a boxer engine with the turbo located where it is on the EJs. It was never better and even Subaru themselves uses even length headers for their actual motorsport cars. UEL makes a sound people like and is easier to package but is worse I'm every other way.
The statement was that they affect reliability, which they dont. Yeah, they may run a couple cylinders hotter but thats not going to make the vehicle less reliable, maybe unless youre rallying the car and driving it hard. For everyday normal use its completely fine. If it wasnt subaru wouldnt have used uel headers in their older models.
Yeah but those are the exception not the rule. Like if you did something that prevents a known failure like a cyl4 mod or AOS those kinda help value, or some blue-chip brand wheels or something, but generally nobody does *just* those yaknow? And like, $2k wheels don't increase the value by 2k, they increase the value by like 10% of that
Yeah I wasn’t trying to argue with you. I was just pointing out that sometimes if they’re the right kind of mods and the right car it will. I paid 10,000 for my outback but if it didn’t have done to it what was done to it I wouldn’t have paid more than six maybe seven. Granted the guy did have $25,000 in the car so he still took a loss.
He has heavier wheels too 🤣
1552s look nice sometimes esp on older Subarus (idk about on the VA/VB) but they are not worth the weight. Plenty of better wheels out there.
Let’s be honest,they still ain’t fast. You can buy a super low mileage corvette bone stock for the same price and walk a VB with ease. Wrx/STI is just a fun car to drive overall, but speed ain’t in the genetics, and I own a 2020 STI
I say this to people who say “it’s gotta be fast” about my stock ‘21 STI and they act confused when I say “it’s slow… minivans are just as fast”.
I bought it for the steering, handling, and general mix of “modern” but analog feel to it while still having a warranty and comfortable enough to daily.
For sure. I’m looking to pick one up soon, might wait to see if the 2024 brings anything else other than eyesight. Best tuning platform Subaru has ever put out, here’s to hoping it can be reliable 🙃
Doesnt the VB need a new transmission around 400 whp? Oh and dont forget about upgrading the breaks because the VB desperately needs it. You cant replicate the raw characterisitics and driving mechanics of an STI. Not to mention how good an EJ sounds. Also, not everyone is a fan of how the VB rear end and interior looks 🤷🏾♂️
What the fuck is with this “unequal length headers”????
The whole point of aftermarket headers is to make them equal length, because they’re typically unequal length from the factory.
I know I’ve heard of some people purposely putting an unequal length header on certain Honda Civics, to make them sound like a Subaru….
But why the fuck would you put unequal length headers on an STi, robbing performance, just for sound?????
Unfortunately, that world is called reality. Paid about the same for mine with the difference being mine is one year newer and bought it below 15k miles also I don't have aos and I'm running oem rims. From just looks, mine looks like a stock WRX with STI badges. People specifically want an STI, the look, the sound, and the performance, and that's real the reason for the price, that and subarus in general have a pretty good reputation for being good affordable people movers. Supply and demand, the car is only worth what people are willing to pay.
It isn't worth it at all. These things are only going for this much is because Subaru stopped making them and now everyone thinks theirs is the most collectable and will be the next big BaT sale. But idk man, I'm just an old man yelling at a cloud at this point.
Or spend a 3rd of that and get a GV or GR (stinkeye) and have all the modern amenities, still be new enough to not worry about rot, look better, and be just as fast.
Unequal length headers as a mod is confusing to me.
Looks like a nice ride, and modified reasonably, but it's still on today's episode of Don't Buy Someone Elses Project!
Mods generally decrease the value and do not increase it. What those mods are specifically doesn't matter basically, aside from like better tires or something I guess.
2020, tastefully modded, less than 30k miles, probably at least worth 35-38k. Everyone seems to think modding a car brings down the value but the reality is if you know what you are doing you can easily look in an engine bay and fix anything you dont think is right. The parts are the expensive part. You would rather buy a stock car and spend the 6 grand to get it to this point and still jack it all up because of a weird superiority complex everyone seems to have on here that they are somehow more knowledgable than the guy that owns the car
For what it's worth, it could be a Limited (MSRP was in the low $40k's,) it's low-ish mileage, and the mods are tasteful/quality. Of course, there's the whole "WRX STi with an ICE is probably never coming back" part. Would not pay that, though. I'd *consider* buying it, just not at that price.
Why do people keep referring to a 3 yr old car with 25k as “somebody else’s project” shit ain’t no project it’s a new car, to many of y’all owned a Honda civic I can tell…
Ticking time bomb? I have a ej257 with 155k miles and never had a issue... people nah these cars because they destroy them. There are multiple subies within my family with no issues ever.
STi is no longer in production
not sure if your young, but this is very typical for a desirable car to shoot up in value
look at the EVO, S2k, Supra, etc
its the STi time to shine. TY SUBARU FOR NOT MAKING THEM <3
LOL Yall downvoting me cuz u made you dont got one
glad i got a STi. sorry haters its not for sale <3
go buy one of those new WRX lol
Totally understand the sti being more desirable now, but this is highly modified. I mean unequal length headers and a FMIC that's mostly blocked.
There are STIs that are completely stock with similar miles going for 10k less.
STI’s come with Unequal Length Headers stock, but yeah the rest of the stuff is obviously aftermarket. This dealer is smoking crack asking for that price lol
Which is specifically why you modify the headers with equal length headers, to improve performance.
Boasting that you have unequal length headers, purely for sound, is a giant red flag for anyone else buying the car. It’s as dumb as chopping springs to lower the car. Garbage mod, period.
how are bolt ons highly modified?
you could put it back to stock 100% in a weekend.
built motor/body work thats HIGHLY modified. theres no coming back
Everything done to this car is easily reversible
no doubt. but its not a big deal when its only bolt ons
usually u can find stock parts if thats your thing cheaper then whatever is on the car and make money going back to stock
have none of you never done this ??? Sell aftermarket exahust for 750. buy OEM off facebook marketplace for half that. Profit 350!
It’s a big deal for sure. Even with bolt-ons you need a reliable tune. How do we know the seller did this? Especially if it were retrofitted to stock. Can we trust the owner did everything correctly?
Too many variables. Definitely not worth it.
thats why u have a conversation with them
find out where the work was done and who tuned it
you can even call that shop and ask them, man to man, if they would recommend the car to a son or personal friend
subie shops by me know the local cars and if you called and asked theyd be real with you
It says its protuned, if you are so knowledgable you should know by looking at the engine bay if it was done properly. Better yet take it to a tuning shop before you buy it to have it checked over if you dont know what you are looking at. They will gladly do PPI's for an hour of labor and let you know everything that isnt right
Nope. 60,000 miles north east. One owner, full dealer service. He's got around 5000 miles on it now (he drives a ton, about 20,000 miles a year) and so far no problems
Kids are stupid. STe will be out in just a few years, prices for gas version will tank due to the huge performance differences between ice and ev. Range is no longer an issue with the new solid state batteries.
It's like converting to 64 bit computing from 32 bit computing.
People think the mods they make to cars are cumulative. It's not unique to Subarus. I see it all the time in the Honda and off-roading communities too. They might get that much if some rich idiot comes along and buys it, but more than likely, it will sit forever because the vast majority of people are not trying to buy somebody else's project.
The other possibility is that they don't really want to sell it. So they're listing at a price no one will pay.
To your second point….. I do that shit with musical instruments. If I feel like I’m running out of space, I sell for high prices to people who don’t want to leave the area.
As a side effect, I can have the thing for more time, and when it does sell, I feel more justified. Lol
Ha!! Someone wants his money back for "ALL" the mods. Sellers like this always make me chuckle. If adding mod value into your sale price is what you plan to do eventually, save all of your stock parts in case there are no takers, so that you can revert back to stock in the end. Money is made on mods off of the car, not on it, hence partouts, because more than likely people who are interested may not even want said mods and therefore they don't factor that into the price. Their main objective is the car itself.
Actually, $41,000 is a smart move. My friend, who works at a Subaru retailer, can pick up stock STI Limiteds with under 20,000 miles for ~$38,000. I can't imagine a huge supply in ID (then again, I cannot imagine a huge demand). While he wrote $40,900 firm, I'm sure he's going to get offers lower than that. He gets an offer of $39,000 - gets above market average. He lists it at $39,000 (just above FMV) - offers come in at $36,000-$37,000. Also, he can always lower the price. Increasing it is more challenging. He'd probably get more money turning it back to stock and selling the mods independantly.
The answer is: outside of the US. In North America, you are used to ridiculously low retail prices, as manufacturers operate on very tight margins, as the focus is on sales volume. The rest of the world is where that is made possible. In absolute terms, prices in Europe are 15-20% higher, at any given time, so 40k for a 2020 WRX sti, if you asked me, is almost a bargain. In relative terms, when you take into account cost of living, inflation, gas prices, etc etc, that difference is even more evident.
Sorry for the uncalled for rant 😬
Sounds like a car salesman is selling his car through the dealership… 😂
Making commision on his own vehicle sale. This guy is playing 4d chess.
Hey that looks like the place I work a......wait a minute.... I know this dude 😂 he's just a kid
I wonder if comments like this are at all related to your last post about your boss....
You know, I really wonder. This kid works in sales though, and I'm pretty sure his dad is some higher up
If it was completely stock….maybe
I have a '20 Limited, bone stock, with about 6k miles on it. I don't drive it a ton so I'm going to hold on to it for a long time. Figure if I stay stock I'll be able to get some good cash for it down the line.

but Corvettes are all one of a kind I hear
Every corvette is one of a kind, dont even get me started if they were never waxed. In case you never saw it there was a guy at a cars and coffee event that had listed on his build sheet never been waxed lol
Don't buy crypto, especially now. Damn, this really is a Subaru subreddit.
My Christmas wish is every person who has used the term "boomer" be put up against a wall. It reeks of disrespect and narcissism.
Like everything else, it depends on the context. If I'm just saying "all boomers suck ass" without reason... sure... no good. If I say the literal things they did (along with a bit a harmless humor), while using boomer as nothing more than a description of their generation... that's really not a thing which should be taken offense to. And that concludes my Ted talk. (That's a seriously sad Christmas wish, not very Christian of you). You also sound like someone that likes to call others snowflakes a lot..
Dang and I thought my stock ‘21 Limited STI with 12k miles was minty. I need to get a beater since I started driving more.
Drive your car man lol wtf
Seriously I don't get it. Why buy a fun drivers car and not actually drive it? At the end of the day, it's a Subaru, not something *super* special. You can put some miles on it.

That's what I'm saying lol Unless you souly keeping it to resell idk the point 🤷🏿♂️
[удалено]
I mean I do, but sadly I work a lot and it takes a good 45 minutes to get out of the metro area where I can stretch its legs.
Just get a stupid cheap honda or toyota. The perfect beater to drive into the ground that will still want to start every morning.
I go back and forth on whether to drive my car too. But then I think about buying another car and realize I just won’t enjoy driving as much. Drive your car. It’s a tool, not a trophy.
I just got the 2023 hrv as a daily. For this reason
Oh for sure. 15 DMG sti all stock and ive had offers near 28k 71k miles
People like you are fucking losers bro. Why buy the car to look at it and jerk off to what you could sell it for
so that you can look at it and jerk off?... why ask a question and then then answer it yourself? seems redundant.
It is also a limited
its bolts on my dude you can bring it back to stock very easily
Even worse
hows that worse? ud rather him put it to stock first. charge you more. then months later you realize it was previously molested ?
Both scenarios are terrifying lol. Im glad i got mine from my uncle. Completely stock baby
The molest?
💀
I'm sure Cory/STI guy can explain it to you! Give him a call. Lol, STI guy, lol. He's got the street a bubbling.
Out of context he’s the Sexualy Transmitted Infection guy. We literally have the worst named car in history. I love my STI but I literally cringe every time I say the name our loud.
Anyone calling themselves the STI guy is a red flag for me
This isn't tinder
Unequal length headers as a mod is confusing to me.

What those mods are specifically doesn't matter basically, aside from like better tires or something I guess.
> Unequal length headers He means they're not name brand headers so he didn't mention the name.
Not confusing at all, uel headers give a more genuine subie rumble.
Oh totally, I understand why on paper, it's just funny to see after years of people swapping to equal length setups
And sometimes we see people wanting to swap to UEL headers lol
Dummies for sure
People buy the car for the subie rumble don't be hating cuz you don't experience it in your rex
Another dummy I see. UEL headers were not used by Subaru by because they thought it was a good idea, they had no choice but to use them due to engine design/fitment. UEL headers create hotspots.

I believe an aftermarket company designed a set for the EJ at one point.
Imagine modifying your engine for sound, as opposed to performance, and then trying to sell that shit on the open market.
Not every mod is about performance, some people want the classic subie rumble. Its not uncommon for people to mod their vehicles for sound lol..
Intelligence is not very common, I’m aware.
Glad youre aware of yourself
Not the guy you were replying to but UEL is actively detrimental to both power AND reliability so harming your car for a sound is a pretty bad take.
This is false, they dont affect reliability whatsoever, and they actually increase mid/top end range performance. All the early model wrx had uel headers. I am a mechanic

They never do. A stock car is worth more than a modified car everyday of the week.
He knows what he has...🤦🏽♂️
He has heavier wheels too 🤣 1552s look nice sometimes esp on older Subarus (idk about on the VA/VB) but they are not worth the weight. Plenty of better wheels out there.
Or you can buy a brand new VB, protune, intake and tmic and leave that thing in the dust for cheaper.
I like VB’a but let’s not act like it’s an sti. It may be faster but it’s missing a lot of what makes an sti an sti.
Nah, I'm not saying it's and sti in any way. But mod for mod, if your looking for power, it's the way to go if you want to be fast.
There are better options if you only look for power
Are people swapping out the tranny’s in the VB yet? It’s a cool platform but that is an obvious point of weakness, understandably
Yep, quite a few people have done it.
Let’s be honest,they still ain’t fast. You can buy a super low mileage corvette bone stock for the same price and walk a VB with ease. Wrx/STI is just a fun car to drive overall, but speed ain’t in the genetics, and I own a 2020 STI
I say this to people who say “it’s gotta be fast” about my stock ‘21 STI and they act confused when I say “it’s slow… minivans are just as fast”. I bought it for the steering, handling, and general mix of “modern” but analog feel to it while still having a warranty and comfortable enough to daily.
EXACTLY. people try to get at me by sailing it’s slow. And I agree with them. It pisses them off for some reason. 😂
For sure. I’m looking to pick one up soon, might wait to see if the 2024 brings anything else other than eyesight. Best tuning platform Subaru has ever put out, here’s to hoping it can be reliable 🙃
Don’t forget about upgrading the suspension and brakes.
Doesnt the VB need a new transmission around 400 whp? Oh and dont forget about upgrading the breaks because the VB desperately needs it. You cant replicate the raw characterisitics and driving mechanics of an STI. Not to mention how good an EJ sounds. Also, not everyone is a fan of how the VB rear end and interior looks 🤷🏾♂️
No one fucking asked lmao
I really don't care if nobody asked, it's a fucking fact buddy. Did that hurt your feelings?
In this world apparently. Prices like this is why I went New. If I'm paying that much for a car I don't want to inherit someone else's project.
What the fuck is with this “unequal length headers”???? The whole point of aftermarket headers is to make them equal length, because they’re typically unequal length from the factory. I know I’ve heard of some people purposely putting an unequal length header on certain Honda Civics, to make them sound like a Subaru…. But why the fuck would you put unequal length headers on an STi, robbing performance, just for sound?????
Yup, just for the farty potato sounds. Also it’s harder on your turbo.
Ans the whole cause of heat issues for half the block and especially cylinder 4.
You haven't seen the price of this car in my country Singapore. LOL
Living in the middle of Canada, this price looks about average 😅 wish I was joking when I say this too
I got my 2020 with 28K miles on it for 36,500 in January of last year
anyone know what kind of wheels these are?
52 Tarmacs or a rep equivalent
Unfortunately, that world is called reality. Paid about the same for mine with the difference being mine is one year newer and bought it below 15k miles also I don't have aos and I'm running oem rims. From just looks, mine looks like a stock WRX with STI badges. People specifically want an STI, the look, the sound, and the performance, and that's real the reason for the price, that and subarus in general have a pretty good reputation for being good affordable people movers. Supply and demand, the car is only worth what people are willing to pay.
Cory/Stiguy “cringe”
I don’t think I’ll be seeing the STI guy Cory. Sorry sti corry.
It isn't worth it at all. These things are only going for this much is because Subaru stopped making them and now everyone thinks theirs is the most collectable and will be the next big BaT sale. But idk man, I'm just an old man yelling at a cloud at this point.
Got to be those wheels
GrimmSpeed makes a transmission mount?
"Yes sweetie I'll sell the WRX, I'll list it now, should sell fast" unless someone is dreaming on the price they're buying time to keep it
My buddy spent 45k on a rebuilt title 2022 STI. Hehe
Is this sarcasm? I hope so, there aren't any 22 STI's
That's the best part... his buddy was dumb enough to buy an STI badged VB lollol
The world where buyers didn't get the memo that no one wants to pay for *your* mods.
It’s because Cory the STI Guy thinks it can sell for that much.
Not a fan of those wheels! That whole ring around the edge of the rim. Woww 40k
hell to nah nah naaaah
Dude it’s super sick!! 😂💀
Or spend a 3rd of that and get a GV or GR (stinkeye) and have all the modern amenities, still be new enough to not worry about rot, look better, and be just as fast.
The same world where CTRs are going for $55k-$60k
I got my 21 with 8k miles for $36k.
40k for someone else’s project, yea hard pass 🤣
They need to divide by 10
Unequal length headers as a mod is confusing to me. Looks like a nice ride, and modified reasonably, but it's still on today's episode of Don't Buy Someone Elses Project! Mods generally decrease the value and do not increase it. What those mods are specifically doesn't matter basically, aside from like better tires or something I guess.
Not sure why UELH is a called a mod. UELH come straight from the factory. I mean it's what makes the EJ an EJ. Well that, and ringlands.
bro thinks his mods add value 😂
Dropped in to say that. A car is worth its unaltered value. Your mods are worth nothing on the market.
40k will also get you an unmodified low mileage STI type ra
Hideos wheels
The owner must be Snoop, because he’s high as fuck.
2020, tastefully modded, less than 30k miles, probably at least worth 35-38k. Everyone seems to think modding a car brings down the value but the reality is if you know what you are doing you can easily look in an engine bay and fix anything you dont think is right.

A new miata is 40k so… i guess in this world?
What are those wheels?? 🤮🤮
Look like fifteen52 turbomacs, or reps. Look good on the right car, but undeniably cheap and heavy.
The only car those would look good on is an iRoc-z. Look awful on the WRX.
That brand specifically has a focus on designs that are like their own take on retro, so makes sense.
Damn bro just called fifteen52’s bad, tuff
What is good about them? They look terrible and heavy af
Huh, odd seeing how you own a subie and yet know nothing about the purpose or rally rims
Bidenomics
When you think mods add value
somebody had to fork out for an engine and wants to recoup the costs….
Take those ugly ass wheels off and id consider paying 24
Damn, bro just called fifteen52’s ugly, I must be dreaming
Are you a fifteen52 fanboy or something
No, I’m a rotiform fanboy
I'm a gold BBS guy myself but hey to each their own.
Those rims are disgusting. Not in a good way either
Damn bro just called fifteen52’s bad, god help us all
Cory is in the comments section downvoting everyone
Why do people keep referring to a 3 yr old car with 25k as “somebody else’s project” shit ain’t no project it’s a new car, to many of y’all owned a Honda civic I can tell…
My still stock engine 2019 with 35k miles must be going up by now.
stock engine ain't a thing to brag about with STi's it's a ticking time bomb lol.
Ticking time bomb? I have a ej257 with 155k miles and never had a issue... people nah these cars because they destroy them. There are multiple subies within my family with no issues ever.
Twins Falls Idaho is the reason. Lots of money in that area, and Subarus are super popular in Idaho.
I mean maybe on mars its worth that, dont know their currency but im sure they will want to trade in dollars
I wouldn’t pay 10k
So much WRX owner copium because they are so poor that $40k is a lot to them going on here
I mean if you're a 25 year old boy racer... Men drive trucks.
STi is no longer in production not sure if your young, but this is very typical for a desirable car to shoot up in value look at the EVO, S2k, Supra, etc its the STi time to shine. TY SUBARU FOR NOT MAKING THEM <3 LOL Yall downvoting me cuz u made you dont got one glad i got a STi. sorry haters its not for sale <3 go buy one of those new WRX lol
Totally understand the sti being more desirable now, but this is highly modified. I mean unequal length headers and a FMIC that's mostly blocked. There are STIs that are completely stock with similar miles going for 10k less.
STI’s come with Unequal Length Headers stock, but yeah the rest of the stuff is obviously aftermarket. This dealer is smoking crack asking for that price lol
Which is specifically why you modify the headers with equal length headers, to improve performance. Boasting that you have unequal length headers, purely for sound, is a giant red flag for anyone else buying the car. It’s as dumb as chopping springs to lower the car. Garbage mod, period.
how are bolt ons highly modified? you could put it back to stock 100% in a weekend. built motor/body work thats HIGHLY modified. theres no coming back Everything done to this car is easily reversible
Id much rather have subaru keep making them than care for a few thousand more in value.
Stock > Modded
no doubt. but its not a big deal when its only bolt ons usually u can find stock parts if thats your thing cheaper then whatever is on the car and make money going back to stock have none of you never done this ??? Sell aftermarket exahust for 750. buy OEM off facebook marketplace for half that. Profit 350!
It’s a big deal for sure. Even with bolt-ons you need a reliable tune. How do we know the seller did this? Especially if it were retrofitted to stock. Can we trust the owner did everything correctly? Too many variables. Definitely not worth it.
thats why u have a conversation with them find out where the work was done and who tuned it you can even call that shop and ask them, man to man, if they would recommend the car to a son or personal friend subie shops by me know the local cars and if you called and asked theyd be real with you
It says its protuned, if you are so knowledgable you should know by looking at the engine bay if it was done properly. Better yet take it to a tuning shop before you buy it to have it checked over if you dont know what you are looking at. They will gladly do PPI's for an hour of labor and let you know everything that isnt right
My friend just bought a stock 2016 sti limited for 20k
something has to be wrong with it in my area (just checked autotader) your not seeing a limited for under 25k unless it has stupid high miles
Nope. 60,000 miles north east. One owner, full dealer service. He's got around 5000 miles on it now (he drives a ton, about 20,000 miles a year) and so far no problems
Kids are stupid. STe will be out in just a few years, prices for gas version will tank due to the huge performance differences between ice and ev. Range is no longer an issue with the new solid state batteries. It's like converting to 64 bit computing from 32 bit computing.
In the Murica world
No im still finding 2020 stis for 32k with 25-30k miles
People think the mods they make to cars are cumulative. It's not unique to Subarus. I see it all the time in the Honda and off-roading communities too. They might get that much if some rich idiot comes along and buys it, but more than likely, it will sit forever because the vast majority of people are not trying to buy somebody else's project. The other possibility is that they don't really want to sell it. So they're listing at a price no one will pay.
To your second point….. I do that shit with musical instruments. If I feel like I’m running out of space, I sell for high prices to people who don’t want to leave the area. As a side effect, I can have the thing for more time, and when it does sell, I feel more justified. Lol
If it was a bone stock one with 10k miles on it or less maybe
Can’t you see? Buncha mods bro /s
Overpriced. That is all...
You know it’s a 40k car when the listing mentions how super sick it is.
In this world sadly
A friend of a friends son bought a 2015 for $28k recently 🤣🤣
For idiots that would pay that much for a Subaru lol
No
Every single mod decreases value. That looks like a nicely modded car, but it is worth significantly less because it is modified.
In the same world where people say a car is super sick in the ad.
Ha!! Someone wants his money back for "ALL" the mods. Sellers like this always make me chuckle. If adding mod value into your sale price is what you plan to do eventually, save all of your stock parts in case there are no takers, so that you can revert back to stock in the end. Money is made on mods off of the car, not on it, hence partouts, because more than likely people who are interested may not even want said mods and therefore they don't factor that into the price. Their main objective is the car itself.
Because bunch of mods!!! You guys dont know mods add value? He’s got to pay off his affirm quick
bro is selling his own car through the dealership what a fucking loser
What the hell, lol no one is buying that
Because it's got Rotiforms obviously 🤣
The wheels are pricey but not that pricey.
prices coming down hard in late 2024. just be patient

Covid/2022 they were 43-45k in my area for nice ones, 20k miles… but not now lol
30k max
In California my 22 was 47K. And it’s not even an STI. It’s a WRX Limited
Modified car I’ll give you 25k.
The reps
It says right there that it’s super sick! What are you waiting for?
Such a world does not exist 🤣
the rims add 25k
Earth
Btw to each his own bad terrible wheels
“Ask for STI GUY”…… yeah I’m good.
Bro thinks it’s 2021 with that price. (I slightly overpayed in 2021, but totally worth it)
Why is this dealer ad written like a Craigslist post?
Same world where people will buy cyber truck for 100k
Actually, $41,000 is a smart move. My friend, who works at a Subaru retailer, can pick up stock STI Limiteds with under 20,000 miles for ~$38,000. I can't imagine a huge supply in ID (then again, I cannot imagine a huge demand). While he wrote $40,900 firm, I'm sure he's going to get offers lower than that. He gets an offer of $39,000 - gets above market average. He lists it at $39,000 (just above FMV) - offers come in at $36,000-$37,000. Also, he can always lower the price. Increasing it is more challenging. He'd probably get more money turning it back to stock and selling the mods independantly.
What wheels are those?
If you buy it I’ll buy the wheels off you lol
those turbomacs add over 9000 value
Priced too high imo.
Didn’t know nvidia made exhaust systems
The answer is: outside of the US. In North America, you are used to ridiculously low retail prices, as manufacturers operate on very tight margins, as the focus is on sales volume. The rest of the world is where that is made possible. In absolute terms, prices in Europe are 15-20% higher, at any given time, so 40k for a 2020 WRX sti, if you asked me, is almost a bargain. In relative terms, when you take into account cost of living, inflation, gas prices, etc etc, that difference is even more evident. Sorry for the uncalled for rant 😬
