that is to much. you could buy a brand new wrx for 25k

are you actually planning on making a 600hp monster? you could also get a brand new STI for like 33k.

What are your plans for the car OP?

>>16421494
I would get the sti
Why?
>6 speed
>adjustable differential
>bigger turbo
>more horsepower
The wrx will be a 5 speed and just a detailed version of the sti I have driven both cars of those years and obviously I favor the sti better.

Unfortunately for both cars they both have timing belts. So that's something to think about later on.

Check for the head gasket meme and any other leaks.
Wrx of these years are prone to steering rack leak/failure
So check those boots.

>I'll be taking my loan out to 84 months at 2.99%
>84 months
You can't afford either of those cars if you have to finance them for 84 months.

>>16421520
I can't really afford payments than 300 a month at least from the last time ive done my budget. That's why im looking for used.

>>16421525
Nice to know and good info, I wasn't entirely sure if the extra bucks are wortg it for the sti. What else should I look out for? My current car had a belt issues so I'm not entirely concerned.

Then I would agree with wolfy on the STI. you will get more bang for your buck. also if you were planning on power modding it the STI is a better starting point.

Who is selling the cars because someone always does something to WRX's. Go in knowing those cars got the shit driven out of them at least once, probably regularly depending on the owner.

Good luck OP sometimes you really can find a stock STI with lowish miles. hope you find what you are looking for and get good deal.

It's a local Subaru dealer, I'm hoping to get the deal also. I plan on doing something to it but I'm not entirely sure what, I'm a little more on the niave side about pulling engines and finding compatable parts, so all in due time.

OP if you buy a car worth more than 10% of your annual income it means that you're financially irresponsible

You don't make anything as long as your using a loan to buy something

Cars should be purchased in cash and only cash

>>16422008
>Blowing money by buying a car in cash
>Not investing it at a higher rate of return than the interest on your loan
Why would you willingly give up money?
