Default Any interest in trading your S2000 for an 03 WRX?

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone is interested in possibly trading for a 2003 Subaru WRX. It has 30k miles on it. I am the second owner and the car is in great shape. It's silver with a spoiler. I have never had any problems with this car, it has been a dream. The only reason I am considering trading is because I think it would be fun to own a S2000. If anyone out there is interested please email me.

Thanks.

You didn't mention it, but I assume you'll be adding some cash to the transaction?

From KBB:
03 WRX, 30k miles, excellent condition: $18,340 private sale.
03 S2000, 30k miles, excellent condition: $22,465 private sale.

I have a hunch that it'll be difficult for you to find a local owner willing to do such a trade, but best of luck to ya.

Seemed reasonable to me. Why so arrogant?

He never mentioned that he was looking for a same year or newer S2000. Based on the private party #s that Elistan posted, I've seen plenty of '00-'02 S2000s go for less than that.

with the changes slated for the 2006 MY WRXs, I would be doubting that he will be able to get anywhere near blue book value...

Thanks altiain, I was starting to second guess S2000 owners.

I realize there is a price difference b/w S2000's and WRX's of the same year and mileage. I am not asking to trade 03 for 03, come on be reasonable.

Just seeing if anyone out there is tired of their S2000 and looking for a change. If not I'll hang on to the Subie.

Better reserve your judgment... Ian's got a Miata (no S2000)

I doubt you'll find someone to trade - but good luck!

And, IMO if you want to come to events with your WRX you'd be welcomed.

Watch out Kaiser...he doesn't like it when people spell his name wrong.

And you really don't want to piss him off if you're going up against him at an autocross!!!

I totally agree on your other point...we like all sports car enthusiasts over here.
