I think there were only 1 twin that was on sale at the dealership (used). Rest were private. I'm surprised not a lot of owners are selling it. Felt like '18~'20, I saw more twins on the market. Average around 20~30 of em way below KBB price.

Haha thankfully I haven't had that, cuz I didn't actually put my car on the market... BUT I know what you mean, cuz I have sold several wheels on FB and dear god, they're so... ridiculous (good way of saying it).

Could be a lot of people are waiting for gen 2 reviews/test drives.

. Prices being high right now are a bit tempting...

Like we said in the other thread on this the fact the price is higher right now is meaningless since all used car prices are up. The only way this would be a good thing would be if only the Twins have gone up. They haven't. In fact in comparison I doubt they have gone up as much as a low mileage Corolla or Camry. Around here you can get almost what you want for a low mile, late model pickup truck right now.

FB marketplace has been the best to deal with for me

I mean it is still pretty shitty, but far far better then craigslist.

I get what you mean and def agree. Just at least in my search of certain cars, other than WRX & STI... or Subie in general, most of the car have been ranging in KBB price rang (for private sells & not dealership).

& honestly, I'm not expecting twin prices going up nor gonna go up. Just stating it's crazy to see some FS of the twins are way above the KBB price tag.

I have 3 cars. Selling one now and replacing later was what I was saying. Would be a gamble on how long supply issues would last.

Yep. In that case you could clean up.

It was typically $20/lawn 15 years ago. No one pays in change anymore.

But it did pay for my first car.

It's dead-even for me. Just as many tire kickers and vanishing ggghosts. Rhaggy.

Well I don't want to know how they earned those quarters then!

soundman98 · 05-13-2021, 08:45 PM

If it was anything like my school, individual cigarette sales!

I get way less spam on FB which is a big bonus to me.

Surprisingly TOB was in the good condition than expected. It was whistling, so it was due anyways. I wasn’t expecting clutch fork cracked or anything (cuz it’s a stock clutch).

A client told me to watch this after I told her about how I was messing with some Gen Z kids and their lingo. Wow... -____-
