Help with value of an old Subaru

But it is now. And on kbb.com you should be able to specify that you have it for appraisal. I think 1993 is just about when FHI stopped making fwd cars. For the US market anyway.

These depend on the buyer. To me real spoiler would cancel out the addition of fog lights. But you might fine a rice kid for whom it will be a plus.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ increased wear and tear on the engine. I'd probably not buy something with K&N. But, then someone may not even open the filter case to check what's there.

Dynamat is low grade sound deadener:

But still might be a plus for an audiofile who does not want to spend hours applying this stuff himself.

Good luck selling it. Probably the buyers will lineup as the winter gets closer.

My point was that it is a selling point, not that KBB wouldn't take that into account.

Obviously it's not my thing anymore either but that isn't the question. There is definitely a market for the 2.5 RS look so the question is how does the value of these additions compare to the defects that exist (ie: the hood.)

But it's sound deadener none the less and has eliminated pretty much all the raddles.

Does anyone ELSE have any input? :-)

I think the mods and the damage you list, on this age vehicle, might be a 'wash'. Of course, it may mean the car sells more quickly at the same price than similar vehicles, but you also may have limited your 'audience'. I think your best bet is a male college/HS student. The audio stuff is no positive for a retired couple or a secretary for instance.

I dunno, I just wouldn't expect the mods listed to help much.

I was kind of afriad of that. I am really hoping to get a little more out of it but I could see how that might be true. Thanks for the input Carl.

In my experience, unless you can find "just the right" buyer, these items won't add much, if anything to the value of the car. I'd advise that you pull the audio stuff (except for the Reference speakers; too much trouble to get at 'em) and put the OEM cassette back in. If you didn' keep it, find one at a scrap yard, or contact me and I'll see if I can't get one for you. Probably cost

I personally would give 1700 tops -- if everything like cv boots and fluid changes (were routine?) and good. rear end noisy yet? hows the struts? keep the radio. looks alone gave me a price to shout and for the impreza 1.8 liters. That year was the last 2wd EA82 (1.8L @ 38mpg )loyales as well (I absolutely loved that engine and 2wd 5spd -- my 93 Loyale is still passing the 2.2 automatics) So... if to find a loyale in equal shape for less money same year.. I would walk by your Impreza.
