How Much Should I Pay: 2007 Subaru Impreza

Question From Robert: 2007 Subaru Impreza Sedan 4dr Sdn H4 Turbo MT WRX TR with 9,787 miles. This has cloth seats. I thought it was a bit overpriced at $23,995. What do you think?
Queen of the Road: Hi Robert. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Wow, $24,000? Are they kidding? Geez, they must be really desperate. You could buy a NEW Impreza for less than that…

For a 2007 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX with 9,800 miles, wholesale prices range from $18,000 (being in above average condition) to $16,700 (being in average condition) and $15,500 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $17,100 to $19,800. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
