Selling good things! - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 08:10 AM

1. My front and rear brakes for others that will fit. Basically a deal where you give me cash and your brakes (assuming they fit properly and are in good condition). Since I know nothing about brakes i'm posting this for you guys from Wiki.

The more powerful brake system for the 06-07 WRX employs 11.5 in (292 mm) vented front discs and now uses four-piston calipers instead of the previous versions two-piston calipers. The rear brakes are all new, with 11.3 in (287 mm) ventilated discs replacing the previous 10.3 in (262 mm) solid discs, and two-piston calipers replacing single-piston calipers. The calipers are painted red with the SUBARU name in white overlain.

2. Dark Gray/Urban gray STI trunk. Another situation where i'm trading for stock wrx part and cash.

3. 10" Sony Xplode sub.

4. Enkei G5 wheels in very nice shape! Size is 17" and brand new these wheels still sell for 800-1k for all 4 and they came out 3 years ago. I'm looking for stock wrx wheels and cash. If anyone doesn't know what the G5 wheels are I can post pictures but they are black and silver/grey.

Anything people think they want on the car can look at it but nothing is aftermarket besides what I posted and the HKS Hi Power which is already sold.

Keep the offers reasonable as I need the money to move in a couple weeks, so this isn't a case where I can negotiate low.

I'm confused... you're looking to downgrade the stock brakes on your WRX for cash?

Libila · 2010-04-29, 09:46 AM

I'll take you up on that brake swap. I've got stock L brakes.

Yes because the stock brakes are worth alot more than older WRX's on the 06-07. I know it seems stupid but I need the money and the dealership is going to rip us off on trade in anyways by lowballing and offering wholesale value of like 7k-8k. So I'll take everything I can to make a profit... as long as my car is running.

Will they fit? I should of specified i'm mainly expecting WRX owner brake swaps from the bug eye and peanut eye models. I suppose if we test and it works well that's fine. What's your offer for all 4? I think Austin just sold his front 2 for 400 plus

Kevin M · 2010-04-29, 11:01 AM

Older L brakes will be very obviously not the right brakes on your car. I'd stick to bugeye-size rotors if at all possible.

Sorry for cock-blocking the deal Tim.

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 11:02 AM

Haha thanks Kevin. Damnit Tim! Don't mess with me, I don't know crap about the value of brakes or sizing. Yea Kevin i'm mainly looking for bug eye or peanut owners to swap and cash. Good lookin out. I miss this forum lol. It's been so hectic and stressful around here lately I haven't even had anything to talk about car wise.

Not that anyone cares but wish me well guys. I'm moving to Salt Lake City in 2-3 weeks. Lower cost of living, way more jobs, nicer people. Plus they have a ton of insanely pretty girls! Anyone ever went to SLC?

100_Percent_Juice · 2010-04-29, 11:07 AM

How much cash were you thinking? Send me a pm.

100_Percent_Juice · 2010-04-29, 11:09 AM

We should also trade center consoles.

Plus the whole killing the next owner because they don't have brakes adequate to the horsepower of the car.

Also, I don't think the 4/2-pot WRX brakes are worth "a lot more" than the regular WRX brakes. Seems like a crap load of work to do just to put ~$100 in your pocket, especially if the dealer you're trading it in to notices and now you have to run around trying to get your brakes back.

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 11:24 AM

They actually are worth alot more than 100 bucks.. that I know for damn sure. I can care less about the dealer lmao. I've traded in about 5 cars. They run the vin, do a physical inspection on the body, check the mileage. They don't even test drive it 90 percent of the time. The dealer is out to screw me and the owner of the car before me did alot of shady crap... so I don't really feel any guilt. Of course i'm not going to put insanely bad brakes or anything ;p. Just want to make cash for my move.

LOL you want the gay chameleon paint the last owner did on center console? Or the clock pod that says "Ass bag" because P burned out.

Oh that reminds me... I also have a nice CD player Sony faceplate if anyone wants to trade one.

GusGus91 · 2010-04-29, 11:32 AM

Joel you don't want his center console unless you plan to repaint it. It's god awful. But if I had the stock click there I'd take the thing that says ass bag lol

100_Percent_Juice · 2010-04-29, 11:35 AM

Fine then. I will trade you center consoles straight up. It will add value to your trade in.

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 11:37 AM

HAHA. Sorry Joel that was funny. I can totally see the dealer saying "What's up with the sparkle chameleon paint? This doesn't look OEM".

100_Percent_Juice · 2010-04-29, 11:41 AM

I'm being totally serious about trading center consoles. Where is Rob when I need him.

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 11:42 AM

Check your PM Joel.

szucchet · 2010-04-29, 01:06 PM

what are you going to get since your trading in you wrx?

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 01:09 PM

In SLC i'll probably buy an older Jeep Wrangler when I get a job. That way I can pay pure cash. Now I know why people avoid car payments if they are smart with money lol. My Insurance is 200 a month and car itself 260 a month. Just buying a car outright will save me like 350 bucks because insurance is high on WRX's. I REALLY want a 5.0 mustang GT to build myself.... but they aren't reliable for the bad snow Utah can get.

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-29, 04:24 PM

Lol. Is it a big job? I don't want to do anything that can really mess crap up and cause problems since like I said i'm not the only owner of the car.
