jim martin Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 From front range of Colorado, a popular Subaru area, It has ~150k miles, body in good shape, runs well but needs: head gasket--coolant leaks out slowly cv boot on passenger front new windshield Should I just put an ad in the paper? Sell it for parts? Anybody have an idea how much? THanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTrain Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 If everything else is in order, in Montana you could get about $2000 for it...should be similar in your area.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 $2000 WITH those problems? I think you could get 500 as is or 2000 if you fixed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 in my opinion, ant decent car with a title should not be parted out, but fixed instead. i myself would buy a car with a bad head gasket, knowing i could fix it. perhaps you should pitch your sell to someone who would be wiulling to fix it themself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Too bad you're not in the NE. Take NY for example... if the chassis isn't rusted out, it's worth repairing the head gaskets or slapping new engine in there. 'Course, nearly everybody out here has got that "cars are meant to be replaced, not repaired" attitude. , so you'd probably have to find another Subie freak .

torxxx Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 prices are high for soobs in alaska, but with leaking head gaskets, new windshield someone wouldnt pay 2 grand for it. 500 bucks fix the head gaskets and new winsheild - 1500 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickytrus Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah, I just bought that car.............. leaking head gasket(oil) needs a clutch and an ok bod............................ paid 2 hundred............. for it..... in the northeast........... hopefullly,, all will go well and for about 600 total i'll have a better car than what I am driving now... which some how is the same exact car right down to the color........... el bizaro!... though this one i just got came out of Colorado.... and it seems that maybe it is geared a little different.... So what is your car worth you ask.....????? go to http://www.kbb.com and be as honest as possible... or http://www.nada.com ................ these are blue book sites... These cars hold their value if the are not ailing........ micky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTrain Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 lol.. i guess the reason i said 2000 was that the day before i stopped at an used car lot because i saw a Loyale identical to mine. was just curious... anyways, it had a bit of rust, a dent on the hood like someone sat on it, and a cracked windshield. Also had 203,000 miles on it. original motor. Asking price.. $4000...ya a bit high, but subarus go for ridiculous amounts here in Missoula. So, hopefully y'all see where i was coming from.

mickytrus Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah, I have seen stuff like that too....... Used car dealers, car lots............ cars with 180,00 on them and people wanting 4,000.......... to me that car is used up........ doesn't matter how well you took care it....... some things just wear out........... I like kkb.com and nada.com ...... it actually is a good bargaining piece when you can say that this is what the nations database for sales on a car : says what the car for sale is worth.... It really helps sellers come down to reality..... and if they don't, I won't be the "as% for that seat" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
