Hello there, long time lurker here who has greatly enjoyed viewing this form.
Got a question I am hoping this community can help me with.
It is looking like I'll be working from home for the foreseeable future and after evaluating my total mileage for 2020 I have to wonder if I am better off selling my Type R to somebody who will actually drive it. I tend to get my motor thrills on two wheels instead of four and just don't find myself pulling it out of the garage more than once a month anymore for a trip into town. Story is, I purchased her brand new in March 2019 after a pretty exhausting search through northern California and more one "walk out" on sales managers (Truly the worst part of buying the Type R). Almost gave up for an STI, but a SCP one came off the truck the same night I hit "the last one" dealership on the way home.
Came from the dealership with a fair amount of kit (see attached) and I have tracked everything I added. Current mileage is 9960. First maintenance was done with the dealership service on December 24th 2019 at 6605 Miles (before the minder). I recently did a service myself on November 24th with an oil & filter change, a manual transmission fluid change, and switched the air filter to a K&N (kept the stock as it looks clean). Stays indoors with the cover on it when not in use. Has MR924 Rims as I found the stock 20s to be the only thing I didn't enjoy about the car as a commuter/DD. Still have stock tires & rubber. No damage anywhere.
I checked vroom and other online sellers are at about 32-34k, but at that price hit vs what I paid I'd be inclined to just sit on it and give it to my daughter when she gets old enough to enjoy. What would you guys recommend I list this at Market is in northern California 530.
Thanks.
