Default whats my car worth

i did post this on sussex but it seems its like an old western town over there.Tumbleweeds going past and the obligatory old guy with a white beard cackling away on the board walk in his rocking chair...Any way here goes..

i may have to sell the car soon due ill health(back problems).I was wondering if you can give me a rough idea what it would be worth in its current condition.


no longer has red flaps......

Wrx sti v2.1995
Approx 130,000kms.Ive only done maybe 12,000 since ive owned it in 4 years
When i got it found out the gearbox was knackered and i didnt like the handling.
Second hand gear box fitted at jaffa sport,Brand new d2 racing coilovers imported from NZ,camber adjust front and rear.36 damping settings. .Up rated the front brakes to 4 pots as the sti 2 only had 2 pots originaly.Polybushed the front wishbones and roll bar,at tones again.22 whiteline rear roll bar fitted.Uprated rear droplinks fitted.
Nur spec s rear box,better than r as not overly loud on long journeys.brand new afterburner rear lights fitted,brand new facelift crystal black head lights and side light fitted.Aftermarket front grill.Brand new seibon carbon face lift bonnet.Brand new carbon version 5 rear spoiler.Recently fiited brand new black mud flaps.Black and yellow cusco graphics.Recently fitted leds to top of headlights.Not to everyones taste ,easily removable.Rota gra allows recently sprayed yellow to match graphics.Wheels fitted with avon zz3 rears with 4-5mm of tread still and prada spec 2 fitted on front with same amount of tread.I can honestly say i havn't driven the car into the ground as most of the time the mrs was in the passenger seat ,so i must think of her as well.This is proven by the rear tyres which i replaced 2 months after buying the car and there are still good now.
new battery fitted last winter due to old one not liking cold weather.Now she starts 1st time with no rattles or even tappet sounds.

All parts that i have said are new means i purchased them brand new.

Most go to increase power i decided to go the other way and improve the handling.I would say now she will go round courners and roundabouts at far great speeds than normally possible.There is little to no body roll,no bonnet lift on acceleration.Just stays flat.10" sub in boot which can stay with car.ONly thing i would keep if i sold her would be the headunit.

Any advise on value would be much appreciated..

11 months MOT 4 months tax.
rocker cover gasket changed at tonys.
Crank shaft oil seal and cambelt replace by stuart from sussex mobile services.
Front splitter could do with painting as has chips.Slight rust on one arch and i mean slight which has been there since i bought the car and has never got any worse.

If i have to sell i have to get something that will not put to much strain on my lower back,but that does not mean im buying a daeoo matiz or something along those lines.

Best to do a trawl on pistonheads to find a similar spec one. I would say around the 2.5 - 3k depending on bodywork and interior condition.

IMHO I reckon about £1800.00 - £2300.00 tops. Probably sitting somewhere in the middle.

It also depends on how quickly you want to sell it?

Good luck if you have to sell though mate.

Yeah I'd say it depends how quick you want it gone. I had mine up for ages, no one actually came to look at it. First person who did put a deposit on it. Got a fair price for it in the end but took the right person. Worzles estimate seems in the right ballpark though, I'd aim for the top end if you're not in a hurry.

Best of luck
