In all honesty, I wanted to keep my WRX, but the reality was it needed a full rebuild with 191k miles. No cash to rebuild and really no space to Properly store it was the final decision.
The dealer gave me KBB trade in, which is $1500-. The seats needed to be recovered as the cheep katskin covers were not in good shape as well the steering wheel leather was worn through to the wheel. I probably could have gotten way more if I sold it privately but I just didn’t want to deal with it.
I really hope someone will scoop it up and do a proper rebuild and tune, it was a fun car. The first gen USDM WRX’s ushered in something special, it was the beginnings of a very cool linage.
I agree the BRZ is a much more fun car to drive and live with. Sure it’s smaller but really it’s worlds above my 02 WRX. Way better in all aspects even though it’s not as powerful. Better suspension, Way better LSD, Way better transmission, Way better interior, etc etc etc...
