    245/70 bfg a/t
    variable boost on turbo
    injecter pump turned up
    free flowing exhaust (all been dynoed)
    snorkel
    dual batteries
    new fan
    uhf
    electric brakes
    new stereo
    bilstiens
    lra springs
    arb winch bar
    spots
    draws and fridge slider
    new alarm and central locking

    Has it ever been offroad?










    Sorry, I couldn't resist.
    From what I've read all the extras make little difference to the value of the vehicle, it's more based on overall condition and service history. How much life is left in the tyres? Were the engine tweaks professionally done? Electric brakes implies it's done some heavy towing which might explain the replaced engine. How many kms on the clock? (the vehicle has still done the ks even if the engine hasn't) What brand of snorkel? Lots more questions about vehicle history come to mind which would all impact on its resale value.

    Ummm... no.
    Am thinking of purchasing the car for myself and selling the missus Forester as we need a bigger car, the thing is i know the history of this car and it will suit our needs as a everyday/ tourer type.
    It is in ok nic, needs a bit of a tidy up here and there, like the rear windows don't work and windscreen is cracked, but thats about it.
    My only concern is the ABS, occasionally the anti lock brake light comes on, and the ABS has come on twice before, but hasn't done it for ages, i'm sure i can fix this though.

    most likely dirt on the sensor - if not then most likely a faulty sensor or a breakdown in the wiring - in a worst case scenario the modulator may have dirt in it and the innards might need replacing (can be expensive)

    The car is likely to be worth somewhere around $10 - $12K

    I wouldnt expect more than about $10,000 for it as it sits probably less but would be worth getting as when they are well looked after they go for ever.

    Would she swap for my Jeep? (I wouldnt do it to her Im not that mean).
