blackwrx Member 181 Member For: 20y 3m 22d Posted 16/03/05 09:12 AM Share Posted 16/03/05 09:12 AM I took my car into the local dealer the other day who was going to do a nice price on the XR6T driveaway, but then they turned around and offered me $22000 for my wrx so I told them politely were to go. I have been speaking to the local performance mechanic who has done a lot of work on my car and he told me to put my wrx in his window for sale for $32000ono.Then I will be going to perth with the cash to pick an XR6Twith:18 inch wheelsleatheralarmpassenger airbagprestige soundhard cover and wing6 speed manualFor $45500 drive away!The dealer wants me to sign up now as the car will take 5- 6 weeks to arrive and he thinks I should sell my car before then.Is it worth the risk, should I order now befor eI have sold my car?I am still unsure of which colour to get either black or lightning strike, I have been told that these two colours will have better resale value!What does everyone think?

Just tell the dealer you will take delivery once your car is sold. If it sits in the dealers for a few weeks, it wont matter.

I tried that when I sold my T and they also came back with a pathetic offer just as they have done for you. I managed to sell mine through the trading post in 3 weeks which wasn't too bad. I for one will not be trading to a dealer anytime soon!!

If not then selling the WRX before you order would be a good idea.

I tried to sell my 98 EL XR8 on carpoint before buying and with no luck...ended up trading it in and wearing the trade in price (which was crap).I now have a black T and love the colour when its clean...nothing beats it (I think)but you have to be at it all the time and cringe if its out in the rain...but you already have a black rex so you know what is involved Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16388-i-have-decided-to-sell-my-car/#findComment-232196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
