2002 white wrx wagon, should I buy?

A local used card dealership has a used wrx wagon for sale, its got a lot of miles on it 77k but they only want 13,795 for it. Its in pretty decent shape from what I can tell though. Is that a good deal? They blue book retail for 16,900 should I wait for one with lower miles? This is in Sac if it matters.

It is probably missing first or second gear Pull a carfax, and make sure you put it thru it's paces before buying it.

hey

77k is quite a few miles. make sure to have one of the local shops that specialize in suby's do a compression check, and go over the vehicle in great detail. it might save ou from buying a trashed car that cleaned up real nice it is amazing what a good detail job can do...)

as said before, do a carfax. it is a must for any used vehicle. if they really want to sell it, havethe dealer run the carfax...

Thanks guys, I'll get a carfax report for sure. Where would be the best place for an inspection?
Would S squared do something like that?

Carfax is worthless. Huge accidents don't show up more often than not. People think it's great but it's a myth.

I would do what Josh said, or skip it.
