Looks like the WRXs are going around 14 at dealers. Same sort of thing I'd like to buy later this year.

Re: WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

If you dont want to spend it all, your not going to get close to an evo. I high mileage one goes for at least 13k. You could get a 02-03 wrx for under 10, maybe an 04-05 even.

If you bought a high mileage 2g, or even a 1g and put the rest in to mods you'd have yourself a pretty bad ass car.

Re: WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

You're not getting an Evo for that price, and honestly you're going to need to spend most of that $12k to get a nice WRX that doesn't have a ton of miles and issues.

Re: WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

Yeah that was the other car i was going to link to. Both are very nice cars for the money and you would still have money left over. Evo is going to be hard to find. and WRX is well... a WRX.

WRX=$$$$$ to mod and $$$$$ to repair.

It's like the Japanese version of Audi and BMW.

I couldn't imagine how many miles a WRX would have at $7500. I've seen some decent 2.5 RS' in that price range. If I buy one it'll be to get groceries, not mod.

Re: WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

A while ago there was a maroon 02 that had ~100k on it. I think it was priced at like $7500. But it had black varnish all over the rear seats and door panel.

Re: WTB 2gb GSX, WRX, EVO

I had an 03 evo before my srt-4 that I picked up in California for $9800, it had 99k miles on it. Great car but I ended up selling it a few months later to pay tuition. I have seen a few evos in my price range...I'm pretty much a craigslist whore, im on there everyday. As far as an eclipse/talon goes I would like to get one as close to stock as possible. I'm not saying that some of these cars arn't nice but I would rather do all the work by myself so I know it is done right! I'm sure alot of you are the same way*

The wrx has 102k miles on it and its even at a dealer...I checked it out, pretty much a flawless car, I talked him down to 7k but im having second thoughts.. The car is in Cambridge if any of you are interested.

Interestingly, I had an Impreza and the valves went out right about there. I know some of you guys are mechanics but I'd never consider buying a car at 100k miles...*everything* is on the verge of going out at that point.

I traded in my `01 BMW 325xi in on my Evo for only $6k. It only had 85k miles on it but it cost me an easy $6k in that previous year in repairs. The $14k (asking price) WRXs that I was talking about averaged 48k miles.

I looked at that car with a friend, not flawless what so ever, has a big dent in the passenger fender, the front bumper is cracked all to crap and should be replaced, and it has a big shitty fart cannon welded onto the stock exhaust. I wouldn't buy it.
