    Inexpensive ready to enjoy 818 for sale.

    If you are looking to own an 818 but do not have the time to turn a wrench, limited space to build or you just want instant gratification (like I do) this one is for you. Customize to your liking, pick a color and make it your own. Pro-built so you can trust it, add your final touches and you have a little rocket for the summer.



    Donor build with 83K miles on 2002 donor (new clutch, timing belt and accessories all replaced).
    F5R upgrade steering wheel
    Also has carbon defusser and chnards
    Body work professionally completed and ready for wrap or paint.
    High-end aftermarket seats.
    Very nice stereo with hidden sub under dash.
    JL Audio
    Back up camera
    Ruff racing wheels with new Hankook Evo 12 tires.
    Wired and prepared for seat heaters
    new brakes, calipers and slotted/vented rotors.
    Cup holder
    USB and lighter plug/charger
    Wiper kit installed
    trunk kit
    Rear carbon spoiler
    Professionally tuned by SMG (tuned to be a very safe but a very fun toy) roughly 265hp

    Again very well built and wonderful to look at. Will make a fantastic addition to ones car collection.

    Price $16,590 (which is exactly $10,000 less then I have in the car).

    I agree. This is priced, ahem, VERY attractively! You must really want it gone NOW! Too clean of a build for the money IMHO.

    Good luck with the sale!

    Thx guys. Thinking about doing a Hot Rod. I got to enjoy the orange 818 for a year and after trying a Hot Rod I'm thinking it will be great to try a 3rd version of Factory Five fun. This is definitely priced to move. I found a Hot Rod at about the same state that looks like a winner. Buy this deal of a century!

    *Dave you saw this car, it was at the open house last June.

    An absolute steal, if someone is interested in building an 818 you can not finish it for what this car is selling for, it will cost you 25-30k painted and done minimum.

    If I don't sell it soon I am going to buy the hot rod anyway and this will get put in the loft till spring (wrap it and raise the price). Must be someone that wants this smoking deal!

    Maybe post it up on bringatrailer.com? Hopefully the success that Grassroots had might rub off on yours?

    For those that asked for the Dyno sheets. See below. I have 8 interested parties but no one has come to see it or sent a deposit. So it's still available.

    No interest in partially completed (rolling chassis) 818S? Hope to see it at the Mooch Fest if you don't sell it by then.

    I would not be interested in a trade for another 818, thank you though. I just want a hot rod now :-).

    What does the F5R community think? Should I get it professionally painted and re-market raising the price to reflect the cost of the paint job. Will a painted car make a difference in selling this car? Let me know your thoughts please.

    IMO paint, stance and wheels make a car. I can't say you would recoup the cost of paint but it would make the car stand out better IMO. The 818 is a hard resale for some reason. This is a very fair price and a very nice car. Making them completely legal to get titled and inspected is a big deal, IMO.

    As soon as the weather warms up, it should be much easier to sell, especially at this price. Good luck Jim.

    Have you received any quotes on paint ? may be a wrap ? I imagine you are in the 4-5k range for either of the 2 ?

    I'm truly surprised it has not sold yet, that's a fantastic deal, there is no way you could build one for that.

    FFRSpec. Car is paint ready (had the body work already professionally done). If I bring them all the body panels they will paint everything for $2000 plus materials.

    508wrx. I have it Here ib this site, Craigslist and Subaru specific groups on Facebook. Most other site require I have a minimum number of posts or be a member for a minimum amount of time.

    I would put the new nose on it, if it doesnt have it already. More so than paint.
