So, I'm moving to Europe, lucky me.
However it means I need to sell everything. Storage is not viable as I'm gone for a year to forever.
I've got a 2003 Forester, which I consider to be in good condition. 187,000 kms, log book servicing, bodywork A1 and as far as I know, mechanically sound (I'm currently writing this in the passenger seat on my way to Byron Bay for a family week from Melbourne). Current market value is around the $8000-$10000 mark. (carsales.com, carsguide.com etc)
I don't have the time to do a rwc, carry out any work, re-register it in NSW, then sell it. It needs afew minor things as far as I can tell, parking light, rear discs/pads, heat shield on the exhaust tightened, maybe more. On top of that the 200,000 service is coming up, so that $700 to $1000 for complete overhaul plus timing belt.
To my mind, our asking price of $5000 as is, is potentially a bargain for someone who knows Subarus? I wouldn't advise someone who knows nothing about cars to buy it thinking they are getting a $5000 car, because they are not.
It goes into the garage at the end of the week, as if it hasn't sold at the bargain price then I'll just have to do the work and ask family to sell it. But then I'll have to put the price up.
Question is, do I sound suspicious? I genuinely feel like I'm being as honest as I can be to get a quick sale!
