Quoted for truth. A well maintained stock rs will sell for 5k easy in w/ half decent body work.

They only brought around 13000 2.5 RSs into the U.S. in their whole 4 year run, thats about 1/2 the number of WRXs that were sold in the U.S. in 2002 alone. Hell just look at M3s, I'll bet the first time used E30 M3s were asking as much as used E36 M3s, people were rolling their eyes too. Now they are at least twice as expensive as E36s.

Bottom line is, 2.5 RSs are probably going to go for the same or more $ than similar condition bugeye WRXs for the foreseeable future, if Im wrong and in a year or two from now the bottom falls out ofthe 2.5 game and you see guys not able to sell them for 3-4k then feel free to come back here and bump this to laugh at me
That particular one does look clean and will probably go for a good price, but I see beat up ones with little or no maintenance done and tards asking ridiculous prices too. A CLEAN one is worth it though. I actually didn't think his asking price was out of the ballpark either, but not really for the mileage. HG, rear main seal and timing belt being done already are a plus though.

You guys all talking about the same rs thats missing 90% of interior because race car? Maybe its me but from the pictures it doesn't look clean to me.

Also wasn't there a much cleaner one that sold for 3500 in a day and immaculate one for 5k on our classifieds?
