    What to do with my subaru... need help and ideas??

    So,

    I've been away from the forum for a while. My car has been sitting, and the brake master cylinder seems to have gone by itself. It has growing rust, and I'm pretty much just done with it.

    Do you think anyone would have interest in buying it outright, or should I try to part it out? It has TONS of performance, JDM, etc parts. I almost want to sell the thing outright just cheap. I have over $10k in the car.. and will never get that back.

    If anyone has seen my car in the past, here is it:



    Just needing some ideas what to do with this car. Its not in very good cosmetic shape anymore, but has a TON of parts on it someone may want. I have bought a new car (2011 Honda CR-Z), so I will be very sad to let this car go. I don't want it to sit around anymore.. if anyone wants it. Hit me up!

    Need ideas on what I should do. I want to move, so I don't have a lot of time..

    If you do decide to part it out I'd be very, very interested in the front bumper, fogs, grille & bumper beam.

    Your car looks pretty much JDM.
    Anyway, If you're making decision to part it out, I will buy those set of rims without tires If possible,

    Honestly, the car is in good working condition still. Engine was rebuilt at subaru dealer back a couple years ago.

    Needs an inner tie rod, and now apparently from sitting it has developed a CEL code and the brake pedal is going to the floor (I'm assuming its the master cylinder has gone bad since there are no leaks).

    The CEL code is a sensor on the transmission.. I forget what the code is, but I can pull it again.

    Essentially, I just dont have time to mess about anymore. I want to move, and I have 2 other cars I need to get rid of. I would sell this thing for dirt cheap just knowing it was going to a good home. I have the following:

    Eibach Springs + KYB GR2
    GTB Bumper
    JDM Headlights
    JDM Fog lights
    JDM Grill
    SPT Exhaust
    Custom Mid-pipe
    Rebuilt engine
    1" lift spacers for suspension.
    LW Crank pulley
    LW Flywheel
    2 Intakes

    Etc, etc, etc.

    If i had a heated garage, this car would be an easy fix up. Just needs some welding, or bondo work + paint, or even better.. plasti dip!

    I've never owned a garage, and I'm just getting sick of working outside in bad weather conditions. It sucks, but.. i dunno what to do anymore.

    Honestly, its not that 'nice' now. Rust has taken over, and i just dont have the facilities to properly fix it up. Its mostly all body work it needs. I would like to get like $2500 outright for it, may take less. Engine has been completely been rebuilt by subaru, new axles, new rear diff, bearing are all good. Just looking to move, and wanna sell it to someone who will fix it up and keep running it!

    Try listing it in classifieds, here and LGT. You may be able to find a good home for her. I might need a second car but after summer, otherwise I would have picket it up.
    98 GT -- Intro to Subaru. Cooked HG, dead suspension, and lots of ricer mods.
    02 Outback H6 -- No more HG issues, but ate two 4eats.
    09 Subaru Tribeca -- slow and ....um fat, definitely fat.
    13 E350 S212 -- No more Subaru!! Why does that make me happy?

    Most of the car would be a decent grab for a clean shell. If there's no frame rust most of it would be repairable but you need to take some good pics and then let the market dictate your price - particularly if you are in a hurry to get rid of it.

    Best of luck - hope that you stick around though!

    turbo swap would be awesome

    I wish i had a heated garage so that fixing everything myself wouldn't be so miserable. Or a lift.. or both!! I'm just getting really sick of working outside in the arctic cold weather, on the ground, on my back. Getting too old for that crap! :P

    Well if you still have it when I'm ready to buy, I'll fly out, buy it and drive it back.
    Think of it as a fall back if you Dont sell it.

    Ide love to have those wheels, front bumper, and headlights. Hate to spend money on mine at the moment though cause it hardly ever gets driven anymore and just sits in the garage. My bumpers and headlights are crying for help though.
