idosubaru Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. old vehicles like this can command a good price but the demand is also very small so you wouldn't expect a quick sell like you would with other makes/models of more mainstream popularity. it's all about timing really. if the right buyer is in the market they would pay alot for it, but few people will do that for older model soobs.

75subie Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 does the lady have any idea what it is worth?if she doesn`t, i would offer her 2-2500 for it.i don`t mean to take advantage of her, but don`t pay more than you have to. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I'd have a hard time paying $5k for an old Brat. I'm not sure you'd ever recoupe your investment if you look at it as an investment. If your looking for a driver, your $5k might be spent better elsewhere. If your looking for a toy, it still would be a little pricey for what your getting. I'd be inclined to agree with 75subie, $2-2.5 would be something that would make it interesting to me.

83projectbrat Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 well i plan on paying around 2500.00 but its been serviced at my dads dealership since new, so we know the car. i guess its worth what ever someone will pay for it but its probably one of the nicest ones out there. ill get pics if i decide to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Isn't the '82 that odd year that was kinda all alone in production? It would be nice to see a Brat that hasn't been cobbled and compromised. Just the unmolested condition is worth it... to the right person, but I have to agree, they are few and far between. I talk to old car buffs/collectors all the time and when I mention my 2 old Brats they smile and say, "No kidding? I haven't seen one in years!" It isn't a mainstream collectible car, but they are appreciated for the fact that they weren't expected to last like a Cadillac, Porsche etc. ... they were only toss-away toys. Seems everyone has at least one fond memory of riding in a Brat as a child. They do bring smiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 the market has been up and down... a while back there was a '82 red brat on eBay, with only 75k on it. showroom like condition. it went for $6200. I've also seen some rust free ones with just depends on who's looking. that color would be the Aztec Gold as seen here for 1982. I think it was theonly year that color was offered on a Brat http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/brats/bratcolors/bratclrs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
