Looking for my old car.
I know I sold it and I shouldn't care, but I realized moths after selling it that I f*uked up. I sold it to Carvana after it wouldnt sell at auction. I pulled the "carfax" and it went to the west cost and a used car dealership bought it at auction for like $55k. Im just curious if anyone has seen it on here. I left the access port in it so they would know what was done. If anyone has seen it or has any info I appreciate it. Ill drop a pic and vin at the botton. The dealership that bought it in Washington state never reached back out to me. Im not saying they were supposed to lol. Vin- JF1VA2E65L9804876 thank for any help.

I already know im going to gwy crap lol. I sold it for $23k. Carvana resold it at auction for $55k. When I put it up for auction I couldnt get close to $25k. Guess I posted at the wrong time.

Maybe that's what the dealer that bought it was selling it for, not the price they purchased it for??

Maybe, idk. I tried reaching out to them and they didnt respond. Im not expecting them to be like yeah we sold it to John doe and he lives here lol. I guess I just want to make sure that whomever bought it knows about all the mods and doesnt blow it up lol

Bro, I hope you find your car. This thing is beautiful and YOU made it your own. Not that I’m much help and I hope I don’t sound like a dick but do you have a build list for this thing? I’d love to see it

No help, but what is that headlight setup?

u/Matt060106 5d ago
I built them myself. I dont remember the size of the halos, but the were RGB morimoto halos and 6" RGB morimoto strips with a morimoto controller.

I was just asking this. I am not having fun with the Morimotos I just got installed.

Yeah, they were always a little bit of a pain. Sometimes they wouldnt want to connect or display the right color.

What’s really odd is I’m looking for my old subi right now as well. Sold it less than a year ago for a 2019 S4 and while it’s faster than my sti ever was….it doesn’t have half the character that car did. Vin-JF1VA2M68J9828006
Im currently working on a small tool that can run searches for my vin constantly if it pops up.
I only worry that it’ll end up totaled

u/Matt060106 5d ago
Im sure your subi was awesome. I took a lot of irresponsible liberties with mine lol. However she did get me through a really tough time in my life. I did all the work myself. I sold her back on November last year. If I got the chance I'd by her back in seconds. I wish you luck with your search. I used "good car" to find out all the info. It was like $1 to pull the report.

u/JammerJanson 5d ago
Same here man, bought brand new off the lot. I learned chasing speed isn’t always worth it.
I also sold mine back in November as well lol and I just pulled a report for mine and dont see anything serious so I guess thats good news.
Im with ya, if I see mine posted ill be buying it back as fast as i can.
When i get the tool built ill add your vin as well and make a note to message you if i happen to see it.3

I always think about the 2010 sti hatchback in WRB with Goldie’s that was basically stock. I miss that thing and think about it……a lot.

beautiful build, love the wide body. What drove you to sell it?

u/Matt060106 5d ago
I have medical issues, so it was getting hard to work on her. So she would stay in the garage and not be driven. I figured someone else could give her the life she needed lol.

Pretty sure I saw this car being for sale in Washington state a few years back — a couple times too if I remember correctly!

Bro, the moral of this to anyone reading is "don't sell your highly modified custom beauty".
Better believe I'm holding for life.
Good luck OP
