My thread died last night.

I've boiled my choices down for a car /o/, and I need some opinions.

I can get a 2016 focus st for 24k or I can get a 2013 WRX Hatchback that's CPO for 24k.

Which one should I get? I drove a 2010 wrx and I loved the turbo spool noise, but the 16 focus st just had some cabin exhaust note that honestly was more annoying than anything. But, I'm just looking for whichever car will have higher resale in about 3 years or so and obviously which one performs better. I love how quick the wrx felt. ST felt super slow in comparison.

(yes, I know that's an STI in the pic)

Which brings me to my third option. I can get a tuned 14 WRX STI with 14k miles on it for 31k. Sure, the monthly payments will be higher, but I figure the resale at 60k 4 years from now I could probably get 25k for it.

But the boost sounds great and it's definitely wayyyy faster than the st, but the st has the interior beat by a long shot. The WRX is awd too.

Subaru will hold better resale by a long shot.

Ford will be more reliable long-term.

Look for a stock Evo X/WRX STI instead,

You can change it yourself. They're charging you a lot because it's a gigantic pain in the ass to rip apart your door, replace the regulator that is nestled in the sheet metal and probably surrounded by wiring and cables then putting it all back together to look like nothing happened.

If you had to choose which car is more superior, would you say a 2001 S2000 or a 1988 Fiero GT? My friend says his 1988 Fiero has some better qualities than my S2000 and I've whopped him at autocross.

Im pulling my hair out right now and im hoping some /o/ can help. I went and checked out a 92 Nissan nx1600 that has 100k miles, completetly clean, every service record, two owners, absolutely nothing wrong with it. But it has a $300 maaco paint job. The door jambs are all white, ttop jambs are all white etc. It doesn't look the best but it's meh. The problem is the guy wants $2800 for it. Kbb says $1800 for excellent and obviouslly this looks like shit. My gf and everyone is saying save more and get a nicer car but I just want a car at this point. I want to offer like $2200 but even after taxes and fees that feels like way too much. Pic related, the car.

How do I get this out? There's no easy way to get into it seems. There's a thing underneath it and there's no easy way to get in from the front.
Would it be ok to spray water into the fins? It seems like it would be able to get the grass out but I don't want to get anything wet that I shouldn't.
Car is a 2010 Mazda 5 for reference.

No, a radiator (directly exposed to the elements in so much as a sprinkling rain) shouldn't get wet. You have to use a dry wash, similar to drycleaning clothes.

They'd make it for a few years again and then end production again.

Ford can't sustain enough of the fullsize SUV market to support two platforms. Go buy an Expedition EL, throw a diesel under the hood and find some 1 ton axles for it.

WRX if you need AWD.

I picked my 201w MazdaSpeed3 over a WRX because it was $5-10k less than an equally equipped subaru.

I'm happy with my decision.

Is it illegal to drive without a front bumper?

There's a wrecked miata for sale near me, it has no bumper, fenders, or hood. Would it be illegal to drive without these? The car IS older than 25 years, so I'm guessing I'll be okay. I live in NC if that makes a difference.
