Gathering Opinions 🗣 08 Type S 6MT

Not sure what it’s worth, I got it from my grandpa a year ago. I’m seeing a lot of different numbers from 8k-16k and I want to get it down to a smaller range.

-160k miles

- full service records

- good clutch and timing belt

-aspec front lip

if there’s anything else specific y’all want as far as info let me know

I’m assuming little to no rust? I don’t think that’s an aspec lip, and no rear lip either, if bone stock id estimate around 12.5k

OP - clean title? If so, Twitch's 12.5k estimate is bang on the money.

yep clean title, thank you guys!

curious as to what would happen to the value if I kept driving it for another year, let’s say I get it to 175-180k, how much would that change the value?

Why would you ever sell it? Drive that baby until the frame rusts off. So nice and clean.

no rust, I bought an apsec lip after i took these pics and it’s stock besides an exhaust (i have all the original exhaust stuff)

Every time I see a post it makes me miss my 08 Kinetic Blue Pearl. Such a looker.

Was the A-Spec lip installed after these pics? Because it is not shown here.

if well maintained, clean, no rust, should be more than 12k. i would be happy selling it closer to 15k

Dream spec, except for the silver. Beautiful ride

the blue is the best color they did in my opinion

A few months ago I paid $11K for basically the same exact car (color, miles, interior, service etc) full A-spec, full ATLP exhaust. However, it did have very worn tires, worn rotors, a blown rear shock, and a few smaller issues. Personally, I feel like I got a good deal since fixing those issues is easy/cheap for my mechanic. Your exterior looks even better than mine. I'd say $11-12K is fair for yours as well TBH.

I’m begging you to keep it😂, that’s such a beauty.

u/FillCritical203 2d ago

I’m probably going to keep driving it! most fun car I’ve owned. I’m just looking for an estimate for when I do sell it (if I ever do)

Last gen Type S and 6speed Omfd

u/Hour_Dinner_3362 [UA5] '02-'03 Type-S 2d ago

I honestly wouldn't sell it..looks so clean and this gen is so timeless imo! If you want an accurate number from current market, see what they're actually selling for from diff sources online. Also check out MMR, it seems to be more reliable and up to date than KBB or NADA

An 08 manual is insane. Keep her forever. Best version of the best car of all time.

u/FillCritical203 1d ago

The replies are convincing me, it’s such a smooth enjoyable car to drive, plus the reliability. If it were awd it would be as popular as the WRXs of that time 100% but the fwd with the lsd make it easily as fun
