Selling my STi...

[Jumpem]

I have it listed on cars.com, and put it in the local autotraders. I tried Ebay too.

Am I asking too much? I didn't want to lose too much, but I guess I may have to. Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Link to one of the ads.

 

That's what you get for selling a brand-new car TWO MONTHS after you buy it so that you can buy a house with your GIRLFRIEND and rely partly on HER INCOME to afford it.

The house is out of the picture. I want to pay off debt and save money for a house next year.

whats the car cost new? like 32?

that should be a good price, get the right buyer at the right time and it so should be sold

Yeah, they range from $31k (invoice) to $34k around here.

Yup. A few people emailed me, but none of them were that serious. I'm about ready to just try and sell it for $26k to pay it off.

Forget about what you paid for it because it's a sunk cost, suck it up, and accept the market price

If the only reason you don't sell it is because you'll feel bad about what you've lost so quickly in depreciation, then you're better off just keep it.

I wish I could take it off your hands

agreed you're better off keeping it for now...wait maybe 2 years to sell it

But then I lose even more money. When you add up the payments, insurance, winter wheels and tires, etc it will cost me between $8-9k to keep it for the next year.

I'm planning to buy a used 05 STi... too bad i haven't come out with the money yet... have to wait.

@Jumpem,

It's actually pretty cheap. I have State Farm right now for $850/6 months. Geivo and Progressive have both quoted me around $550. So if I keep the car much longer I am going to switch.

Those are such nice cars, but damn they are ugly as all hell.

I've always tended to be financially conservative, but cars are my weakness. I'll buy one, be thrilled for a few weeks, and then feel like crap for wasting money.

Why is the wing so large?

It's stock. I don't love it or hate it. It fits the car, but I wouldn't mind if it came without it.

That is the dual element spoiler that's very similar to the one used in the STi WRC rally racing car. It matches the car well. I love the styling of the STi maybe because i'm a rally racing fan.
