| | | Posted by Nismo I sell cars for a living, just put the basic jobber parts which should be cheap if you shop around and get it passed saftey, best place i find to sell cars is facebook. craigslist is a lot of sniffers and time wasters. If you can ROI 500-800 profit thats not bad
| Yep hitting up the junkyard for the tie rod & tire... no experience tinkering with exhaust systems & have a buddy who works at a muffler shop, he said they should be able to get a new exhaust pipe on there for like $250. So bought it for $800, putting down a max of $700 to get inspection ready, If I can sell it for $2000 I'll be content, but based on what I'm seeing other people sell these for, I think I should be able to get $2800, if not more. Posted by Samurai I tried selling my 2000 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon on craigslist and facebook… if you fix the car, you're never going to get your money back out of it, at least in my experience.
| My first course of action is to try and just sell it as is, for $1500. I'll gladly take $700 net profit for zero work. If no interest, then I'll fix it up, then try to sell again while using as a commuter car... I drive about 1k miles per month for work and sick of getting like 18 MPG on the tacoma... So the worst case scenario is I have another car I can hang on to and use a second car, and eventually trade it in... which isn't ideal, but not the end of the world, I suppose.

| I paid $1500 for my Subie.. put tires, timing set, exhaust, tune up, brakes front and rear and bought a catalytic converter for it. Tried getting $1500 for it... nothing. I ended up letting it go for $850 just to get it out of my driveway. reason I heard most? oh, it's a manual shift. no thanks. The whole reason I bought it was BECAUSE it was a 5speed. People are just lazy mouthbreathers.
