96 LSI value??
I have an opportunity to get a 96 LSI, Red / Tan interior in very decent shape for its 168,000 miles. More mileage than I was interested in but good maintenance and upkeep still has me pondering it. Any opinions on it's value?? What have other readers / Forum members paid for a similar car? Thanks for your feedback!

I paid $6.5k for my '96 LSI in Aug '06. Looks/runs great and had about 83k miles.

Price
Examples--3 years ago, I paid $2995 for a 96 LSi in good shape with 148K miles. It was a PA car and had the normal bolt rust, but no body or frame rust. Interior in great shape.
A little over 2 years ago I paid $7995 for a 97 LSi in perfect shape with only 54K miles. It was bought from a dealer (Appleway Subaru) in Seattle. Of course, I drive a hard bargain and have been accused of "low balling" an offer. This definitely works sometimes if you are not in a hurry. The 168K miles on the car is question is a lot of miles unless some key work has been done. Like transmission rebuild. Even though the later model trannys last longer---that is a lot of miles if original. Lee

My guess without seeing the service record or the car is $5,000 to $7,000. Because of the mileage, probably $5,500 to $6,000. Good luck with the purchase.
Be sure to register at Northwest SVX if you get the car to find out about the local events.

Also, waiting for warm and dry weather to install the PWR radiator, silicone hoses, RX8 wheels, Raceconcept brake set, Koni struts, Earthworm's bushings, Alcyone hood ornament, Stebro exhaust w/Euro resonator and powdered coated stock calipers. As you may have noted several of my cars went to family members including dau, granddau, son and nephews. Two of these (dau/granddau) went to Baton Rouge LA. I suspect that my granddau is the youngest driving SVX owner. She got the 94 for her 16th birthday. Lee

Are those RX8 wheels I spy? They fit the car really well. What size are they?
