Hi everyone, I’m new to the thread here and just have a quick question about value on a trade I’m considering. I know this is a ST forum so some of the responses will be a little biased but I’m leaning towards completing this transaction anyways.
To sum it up I’ve been offered a straight trade for my 2011 WRX hatchback. Some info about the vehicles are as follows:
2015 Fiesta ST
Completely stock except for some minor cosmetic upgrades and interior upgrades like weather tech mats, and RA mudflaps.
47,000km
No accidents
2 sets of wheels both with relatively new rubber
Full navigation and moonroof package
Outside of car and inside of car in immaculate condition
Black colour
2011 WRX Hatchback
Completely stock except for some minor cosmetic upgrades
95,000km
One accident valued at less than $1,500
2 sets of wheels both with summer set requiring replacement very soon
Base package
Outside of car and inside of car in immaculate condition
Blue colour
My only real concern is the value of the trade. I know that some of the 2015 ST’s can be found for pretty cheap. Would I be better off just selling my Subaru separately and then purchasing an ST or does the value of the trade here weight in my favour? I know that the Subaru will hold it’s value better than the ST but at the current moment would it be wise to compete the trade?
I will most likely follow through with the trade regardless but looking to get some insight. Both cars are in excellent working mechanical condition. The Subaru would need potential work in the future where as I don’t see any potential issues with the ST.
Thanks!
