Rick B. Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 the car has mitsubishi plates because its at a mitsubishi dealership. it was traded in. 15k miles. the access port was unmarried when it was traded in. the dealership paid 27k for it when it was traded in, so they are into it that much. they are asking 28. they cant come down on the price of the car because they cant afford to take that kind of loss. but since im good friends with the owner, instead of coming down in price on the sti, they are giving me 8500 trade in value for my wrx, which should be around 4700.

wannaBstuntin Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 bens right, im not pissed. lol. let us know if u get it. I thought you wanted one though? Those wheels look sick Joe.

s_adbell Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 my car valued at almost 14,000, im paying 10,500, loan is only for 8,500 tho. i could wreck it and make money. my insurance company was not amused, the loan ppl were thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB is retarded anyways. i'm not sure if its an 06 or 07, thats why i asked. oh and by the way, if it is an 07, that would probably explain the motor going kapooey (along with his mods that werent properly tuned for i bet). 07's have a very bad factory tune and a LOT of people had issues with cracked ringlands. wouldnt be suprised if thats what the motor work was, new pistons lol.

Rick B. Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 its an 07. ive heard that its been hit or miss on the 07 motor problems. some have them, and some dont. who said that the parts looked like they were just thrown on there with no tune? i didnt realize that parts looked different after getting a tune. anyway, dave over at metric subaru was able to get some info on the car. it was bought in ct, thats where the guy lived and had the work done to it. its also where he had the warranty replace his motor. still trying to find out if the accessport used was unmarried or not when traded in. id go to the dealership today and talk to the owner to get the previous owner's contact info, but i have a meeting with a congressman later. seriously, i do. its to get a reference letter for the army.

xxscaxx Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 COBB? EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????????? yeah rick, make sure that accessport was unmarried b/c then your kinda screwed, lol. i was just saying that you should find out if that car was test driven by anyone b/c if there is NO accessport still married to it, then its running without at least an off the shelf map and thats not a good thing. the 07's had a bad factory tune, im pretty sure there was no recall for it so i couldnt see how it would only be some and not all, maybe some didnt have any affects, but it definitely came with a bad tune from the factory. no worry, all you would need is a AP or whatever and a base map and you should be ok.
