Anthenium Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I saw this for sale on eBay.

Jerry DeMoss Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think the person who posted that one is smoking something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 would that be Canadian dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That would be about market price for that car in Vancouver, B.C., if it had the original engine and only 150,000 km. Two years ago, I paid C$6800 for one with 134,000 km on it, and a METICULOUS maintenance record. You can get them cheaper, but the cheap ones are often beaten on, and still expensive for what you get. Too many klicks on the body. They will probably take $5k or less. Subarus are much more highly valued in Canada, because we actually NEED the 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okanagansubman Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 i dunno. thats pretty steep. i dont think he will get that much for it. ive seen nice subarus for alot cheaper.(canadian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sure, Colorado, Minnesota, etc. Lots of snow, I know. But I also see lots of cars mentioned on here, that say they have never been put into 4x4, and they don't even know if it works... They don't last well here in Canada, either. The bodies rot. So a good one commands a premium price. EA-81's are very rare indeed. I have a suspicion the older Subarus weren't as popular, here, either, so there isn't the number of them there is south of the 49th. This also puts up the price.

ple1ades Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yeah after seeing how bad they drive in Canada they need all the traction they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenw22 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 This is in my province. It will be interesting to see how much money they get for it. Let me translate a few things for you: "Repaired" title - car has been totaled and repaired, probably poorly. body rust "just starting" - rust is starting to bubble through the paint and show. In reality, the car is probably full of unseen rust and is only a few years from being completely rusted out. I bought a car similar to this a few years ago. I paid $600, not $6000, and I was feeling pretty generous that day. I'd be surprised if he gets more than $2,000 for it. But hey, if someone wants to pay $6k for it, maybe I'll have to start importing Subarus and selling them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix165 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 i paid 1500 for a one owner, full delership repaired, 200,000km. 6g usd thats pushing it, for that i could get an r32 skyline sedan (and i really want one of those) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The point everyone seems to be missing is that it has a non-reserve bid of $51.00. Sure the BIN is high but most are. It looks like an every day POS. Nothing special and high mileage as well. Shouldn't go for much more than a couple of hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrickell Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If I was selling this kind of car on eBay, I'd probably start with no reserve and a ridiculous buy it now too, like this guy, as a joke. You never know, some idiot might do it. Can't hurt to ask. You won't get the money if you don't ask. That being said, for $6k, there better be dancing girls, a time travel device, the cure for cancer, and a box with the key to world peace in it that comes along with the car...

Anthenium Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Well, the Auction Petered out at $1,025.00, Reserve Not Met. Hopefully the guy ACCEPTED the highest bid, and got this "Prize" out of his garage. I paid $1500 for my Loyale, and think it was a bit much. If I had paid 4 X that amount, I HOPE someone here would come beat the $#!+ out of me, tie me up, and push me and the Soobie into Lake Erie, to settle next to Jimie Hoffa. Blame Canada!!!
