[boxerboost]

(Edited/Cleaned post now that I've got proper pictures)

Hey guys,

For sale I have a 2001 WRX Swapped 2.5RS!

Black Coupe, 5 Spd

130k on Odometer, Roughly 128k on Engine

¤ '03 2.0 Turbo WRX engine and drivetrain

¤ Harness merged by ECS

¤ Install done by Meyagi

¤ New Headgaskets

¤ New Timing Belt & Pulleys

¤ New plugs, fluids, etc.

¤ Grimmspeed Lightweight pulley

¤ Kartboy Short Shifter (with knob & bushings)

¤ Eibach springs

The Bad:

This car does have its share of surface rust that needs to be addressed, and the tires are driveable, but will need to be replaced shortly.

There's also normal wear and tear/scuffing that is to be expected with a high mileage car.

Other than that, the car was swapped properly, runs well, starts right up and is pretty quick to boot!

This is essentially the perfect "base" for someone to make a pretty serious car out of. All of the hard/annoying parts have already been done!

I don't NEED to sell this, but I just picked up a '05 FXT that I'd like to start playing around with.

$7,500 and its yours!

What year and color xt did you get and glws

 

[boxerboost]

Black '05 XT Subarude.

I have taken a look at swapped RS's on nasioc, and they go for a decent amount more than what I'm asking.

Sorry Nathan, I find it very hard to believe you could manage a complete swap for $2,500.

(without doing 100% of the labor yourself, including the nightmare of merging the harness)

They usually go for quite a bit more on RS25, but are in pretty damn good shape. So 2-3k less for a swapped GC with some rusty rear quarters doesn't sound too terrible. There are a couple on RS25 for less but they have early swaps from older JDM Imprezas in them.

How bad is the rust. Older rs' are coming up in value a lot. If the rust isn't to significant I think your price is fair.

 

[boxerboost]

I'll get pictures and video tonight. There IS a fair amount of rust, but it's all solid/surface.

To be completely honest I'd rather be able to let people know about the rust, when I could probably just sand a lot of it off and prime over.

I much prefer the honest sale to the "now look what you have to deal with that you didn't know would be a problem" approach.

 

[Matt]

Honesty is greatly appreciated.

The next person that complains about price is getting put on vacation. The only haggling you should be doing is in person when you go see the car because you want to buy it. Get out with your "whaaa its worth its not worth this".

GLWS op, I think I have your old motor in my legacy? If mikey did it, I'm sure it was done right.

 

[drvsdwz]

pruned as well. GLWS. I am sure you will find a buyer, I have no doubt

 

[Matt]

That's not to bad. Typical rust areas for a gc. Its a good starting price for a swapped gc. Good luck.

 

[IBratmanI]

Looks to be mostly surface rust anyway. easily fixable, and pretty cheap fix too. GLWS!

 

[Legwagon]

GLWS car looks good!

 

[K3rn]

7500 is a damn good price for that rig and that rust work is nothing to fix GLWS

 

[boxerboost]

Thanks for all the kind words, everybody!

 

[Meyagi]

this is a nice car, it drives good and its quick! No corners were cut by Brian when the swap was done, it will make someone a nice starting point for a fast wrsx

 

[boxerboost]

updated w/ better pictures.

and a video walk around

(pardon my annoying voice

)

 

[boxerboost]

Bump...

Want this thing gone.... The lowest I'd be willing to go (only for Mainely folks) would be $6,800

Make it happppppen.
