Are those prices in US $? If so way too much. People try to get more for their modded cars but they are usually hard to sell and often the owner ends up parting the mods out. It's also not a good idea to buy someone else's modded car, best to find one stock or close and mod it yourself. That way you'll be able to follow your own mod path and know who did the work.

there are so many things to consider when buying an modded car already..
1.take a look at the driver..u can tell if he's babied the car or not..
2.ask for a lil test drive to feel the clutch and such..u mite hear weird noises..
3.ask how long the vf34 was on
4. have a few friends that has subies to come with you and take a look
5. if that' what u really want and cant find it anywere else it's up to you..remember depending on how you treat the car someone is willing to pay good money for it...

side note...i'm in hawaii..i picked up an 2002 wrx 5spd all stock with 4k for 19g's..picked it up on jan 1, 2005..it was my x-mas present..hehe..rite now i have 28k on the odo..an old guy traded it in for a volvo..can u belive that..lol

good luck..

Jan 05 I bought my 02 WRX Wagon with similar setup. Test drove the car and felt confident in the quality of the vehicle. Have had no regrets. If I bought stock it would mostly still be stock.

Since it looks like hte owner (previsous owner) is burningcadence....perhaps he can give you more info on the car....at least you have the benefit of meeting/talking with the previous owner...I did not.

Good luck

I perceive the value of a modded car to be less than that of a stock car, but I don't know if the whole market looks at it that way.
