How much did you sell your msp for?

I'm thinking about selling my msp in august and getting a wrx. What did you guys sell your MSPs for? Please post mileage, asking price, selling price, and anything else that might be helpful. Trade-ins too. Thanks!

Trade in's will probably net you anywhere between 13 to 15 in our market conekiller.
Of course your mileage will be low-normal.....
 
Ive seen them on autotrader for $15995 with 14000 miles and $15988 with 8575 miles. Hope that helps.

ooh dude get an 04...the curves on those look hella nice...wingless too(band2)
 
Wow if I can get $14-15k for it that would be perfect. I've got 10,500 miles on it now, but I'm going to try to drive it as little as possible from now till august (when i'd be selling it).

Discreet: Yeah I'd be getting an 04 most likely, blue sedan no wing...hotness. You'll probably still be boosting higher than me though lol :)

Anyone here successfully sold them at 15k? This is some good news. Thanks for the replies.

Don't know about selling it, but I got $13,500 for a trade THREE MONTHS after buying it. The dealer I traded it in at called a Mazdaspeed dealer and they told "we can't even give these things away, I wouldn't pay more than $12,500". Sucks :(.

Hmm, yeah that's what I was planning on getting for it, Joe. But looking at autotrader etc they're all selling for 16-18k. If I can get 17k for my car now, then I'm definitely selling this week and getting a wrx. I think I might post an ad for 18k and see if anyone bites. While yeah, you used to be able to get these cars for relatively cheap, I think now the value isn't as low as people here say because you can't get them anymore, so if someone wants one they'll have to pay what people are selling them for, and that seems to be 16-18k. Someone one hear said he had 3 people contact him after posting an ad for an msp at 18k.

Do you guys think I should take out the turbo timer before I sell it? I could reuse it for the WRX, and people won't have to worry about buying a "modified" car, could make value go up. What do you guys think? I'm quite excited right now. If I get 17k for the car then WRX here I come. If I can get 15-16k then WRX will happy by early summer.

Id listed it for 17-18k why not? See if you get any calls its worth a try! I would take off the turbo timer and put it on the rex because most people do not care for mods.

That sounds like a major dealer line to me. I know you worked with a pal to get your newer car but it still sounds like a line.
 
I was told be the dealer to wait until the rebates were done, then the prices would go back up.

Since they are all gone, then I would list for 18K... s*** why not. The WORST you should get would be 15K in our area.
 
yea all the rebates were bringing down the value of our car. They were selling for like 16500 with the rebates.
 
Let me know how that goes, I was actually planning on doing the exact same thing around aug-sept. An 04 in either white, black or silver w/ no spoiler is the definition of hotness. Hopefully you can get at least 15 by then. And maybe they'll let an 04 go for a little cheaper at that time of the year. Hey, actually if you want check this guy out: http://www.jspek.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6517 His payments are nuts though.
 
Now that they are dissapearing, i think the value will hold/go up. Before the market was flooded...now if someone wants one they pretty much have to buy it used. So now I think the value game ball is in our court now. Try for 15,000+. screw it

sorry there is no value on an econobox car.

i got 13,700 on my trade in with 11,500 miles on it.
 
Well, I am selling mine also. We called a Mazdaspeed dealer and asked them what they thought we should ask, they told us to try 17,900.

sucks for you then.
you traded it in. you will get more selling it on your own.

Value is determined by those who are selling...if everyone bends over and gives it away for 13,700 then of course the value will go down.

If people are looking to buy these used, then the SELLERS are determining the market value, unless of course you trade it in.
 
i talked to one of the guys w/ an autotrader ad up right now and he's asking 1500-2000 grand more than he expects to get. you're outta your damn mind if you pay 17-18K for a used MSP.

No s***. If you hype it up, make it seem better than it is, and rarer than they are, then you can do whatever you want. Anyone on here would be out of thier mind to pay 17K for a used one, but there are other people who don't come to forums and just pretend to be ballers and s***. They'll pay for a 'mad tyte shizzle msp yo' and work double shifts at the Taco Bell.

Just because you got that on your trade doesn't mean that all that it's worth. I was the dealerships job to get you to pay as much as they can for their car and as little as the could for yours...
