Legacy 3.0R Value

[TNHSTI]

Hi guys so have sold my V7 STI and are on the hunt for a nice 4th Gen 2005+ Legacy 3.0R in Manual - just wondering what should I expect be paying for one around the 80-120ks mark? - according to turners auctions one sold on there with 150ks for 7k - which I thought was very cheap?

 

Most manual ones on tradme with 80-120ks are around the 11-15k?

 

What should I be paying for one?

Sounds about right. Unless it's a one-off quick sale.

So why would one on turners gone so cheap? - just typical of turners?

Turners sell cars for so cheap sometimes... People literally just go there and see "oh just another legacy" and move on. So as long as it goes over their 'reserve' it'll sell.

Plus they often sell repossessed, damaged, stolen recovered etc as is where is hence cheaper prices.

My cousin in law (heh) picked up an 06 facelift, manual for $10k a few months back.  About 100km on the clock.

 

Dealer maybe a few grand more.

 

I sold my 3.0R spec b manual with 140 on the clock, mags, HKS intake and exhaust, adjustables for $14k like 3 or 4 years ago now.

I picked up a 2005 3.0R Spec B manual with 123,000 for $10K a few months back (dealership).

 

The paint was pretty rough, was absolutely covered in super fine scratches (was maybe attacked by birds?) which was maybe the reason for the low price. A cut and polish fixed 95% of that though so all good with me.

 

Honestly <$12K is a good deal, <$10K is a bargain IMO. Wouldn't pay more than 12K unless it had full NZ service history or something.

Would a 2005 White 3.0R wagon in manual with 44,000kms for 15k be a good deal? - immaculate condition

[TNHSTI]

anyone?

Does it have a 6 speed.

[sobanoodle]

I personally wouldn't spend that much on a pre-face. Even with 44k on the clock.

true but there are hardly any face lift ones around in manual

[Dairusire]

#worth. But in all seriousness. You will loose LOTS of value on those in a few years. Just be warned.

So what would you suggest? get a higher km facelift?

I would if I were you. 14k is a lot of money for that year and as has been said will depreciate quickly. Yes it does have low k's but still not worth the money to me.

Find a higher k's facelift that has a good service history

[Dairusire]

^ pretty much that.

Or find a higher ks prefacelift for a lot less money. Again as long as its got some sort of service history then I would not worry about higher ks. My 05 2.5 had about 170k on it but was well serviced and had a good service history so I didn't mind. It drives like its only don half the ks

[TNHSTI]

managed to twist his arm to 14.5k on the 44k car iam thinking of going that way, planning on keeping it for ages so not to stressed about loosing a bit of value, or do people still think i shouldn't?
