New advice on buying a new car

[CornFed2.4]

Black evo looks nice lower miles too. Plus its got the 5 speed.

[HiImBrian]

Just found out the black evo has a slight oil leak from the oil pan, has a few broken clips and switches inside. Not a deal breaker, but it sounds kinda beat up. The kid has only owned it for a couple months. I'ma call the dealership he bought it from tomorrow.

[HiImBrian]

bahaha! I listed my rs for sale at like midnight and 2 ppl already wanna buy it! I guess selling privately might not be hard after all

[A//// Guy]

Buy a new car already!! lol

[HiImBrian]

up to 14 ppl asking for my rs! these co ppl are suby crazy. If all goes well I'll have the 06 wagon tomorrow

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Sweet! I'm looking at an is300 either today or tomorrow. I found a pretty clean one with a 5speed locally. Hopefully someone doesn't snap it up before I get the chance.

So how is it? Not a fan of subies really but still looks nice.

The wagon has a fair amount of body roll stock, but a set of stiffer sway bars will fix that up I'm sure.

The turbo is super quiet, so I'll have to look into getting rid of the stock intake at some point.

Otherwise, the car drives great. The clutch is pretty stiff and grabs great. Really tight shifter and the car really starts to move at about 3000 rpms.

Only downer to the car that I didn't realize initially is that there are pretty big scuff marks on each side of the rear bumper. These didn't stand out to me when I was looking at the car because the guy lives on a dirt road and the car was fairly dirty. The guy I bought it from was older and really nice, which kinda caused me to trust him more than I probably should have. He kept going on and on about how perfect the car was that I was sorta upset when I saw a few flaws in the body. Oh well, they're fixable if I decide to do so.

Always gotta look at a car thats been washed.. but nice pickup!

noted. I'll look into it when the time comes. Right now I'm so busy with work there probably wont be too much changing on the car for a while.

Real world ftw!


Looks like a nice pickup, enjoy!

Yea intakes are kinda worthless on the tiny stock turbo. Just made mine laggier. Ditch the snorkus (giant silencer in the fender) and do a downpipe and tune. That will get you all the turbo noise you need and keep the exhaust quiet as long as you keep the stock catback.

Check! I think I've been convinced to hold off on sway bars till it goes stage 2.
