jg09 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 My GL-10. 1988, AWD, needs a new auto trans, 121k miles. Good condition body, sun damaged paint on roof, good interior, 13" gold Enkei wheels. Maroon in color. I'm gonna put a craigslist ad up as well as try and sell it to a buddy of mine who wants a project car like that. But with the tranny like it is, what do you guys think I could get for it? KBB says $1800 w/ a good transmission, but that seems steep, even if it was driveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 $750 would be top dollar considering the issues it has I would say. If it's a turbo then possibly a little less. The EA82T's aren't highly regarded in the community. Thing is - you can get a nicer, newer gen I Legacy for under $1000 any day of the week in running/driving condition. More power, better all-around car for the money. It's also not going to be easy or cheap to replace that 4EAT transmission. They only made them for like 3 years. Although on the good side they aren't as prone to failure in the first place as thee earlier 3AT. Just not a really desireable car being an EA82 and an automatic, etc. You would definately have to find *just* the right buyer to give you anything close to $750 for it. If you want it gone in less than a few months you'll have to take less than $500 for I would say. You would do well to at least consider looking for a used tranny and putting it in. Might only cost $100 or so and could easily bump the value up to around $1000 - $1200 to someone that just needs reliable transportation. I don't think you'll entice that kind of money out of a Subaru enthusiast as they typically aren't looking for that model. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Blown trans, EA82T, EA82 bodystyle..... $200 in my area, But they are everywhere here. If it had a good tranny and was in A++ condition, $1800 would be the highest price anyone would probably pay. I would say put some junkyard steels on it and keep the Enkies and try to get over $500 for it if you can, but that will be hard with a blown auto trans.... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg09 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 i have hook ups in the auto repair industry and i can get all my labor done for free by an ASE certified mechanic, so i probably will just go and get a transmission and have it installed for free. I forgot about my connections I now have available. And after that, probably sell it anyways and just get an Impreza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Give it a 5spd d/r sex change, that way you are not shoving another 20 year old boat anchor into it. It will last much longer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
