Yeah, there's not a snowballs chance in hell that I'm paying asking price, even if it is what they're advertising. I just don't want to spend half a day driving up and back, and getting bs'd along the way, if it's a total scam ya know. Personally, I still love the body style, and would probably go up to 11 if everything is on the up. Mostly because I still miss my first bugeye

For sure, I love my bugeye as well!... is the Blue Book even close to that price with those miles? I would at least make them go down to blue book. You can also request the dealer to pay to have the car inspected at a shop of your choice or you can pay for the inspection. Either way it's a good idea to have a set of unbiased eyes look it over...

Yeah, the car is priced pretty close to bluebook, actually a bit less. But I tend to see mods as something that make it worth less, especially if you're not dealing with the owner. You have no idea what kind of tune it has, what has been done to the car to make it pass smog so they can sell it. At the very least I would take it in for a good tune asap. But having it checked over by someone that knows more than me, I did not know about. Thanks! I normally wouldn't buy a car this old, but they don't make them anymore lol And if the mileage is as low as they say, I would buy it.

My buddy went to check it out the other night, because he was looking for a Subie. Found one last night though.

But the one the OP posted, it looks worse in person. I think it's re-donk-ulously over priced. There was an issue with smogging the car. They only have one key for it, and it wasn't a Subaru key. It looked fake, almost. The rims hardly even look gold in person too. Almost like a silver/gold.

Car is definitely not worth it. I feel bad for who ever wants that car/buys it.

Awesome! This is just the kind of info I was looking to get here! Thanks a ton. It is way over priced, but looked in the pics. I think I'll wait until another comes up for sale, from someone in our community here. I'd feel way more comfortable with that.


Edit: I think those wheels are like bronze rotas or something anyways. Even if the car came in with a set of goldies off an '04 STi someone in the garage would have taken them!

for real, its easy for cars to look better in 640X480 pics then they do in person, and this one looks beat even in the piocs! so thats a bad sign. Look at this pic of the interior, you can even tell in the pic its beat! I had over 100K miles on my STI and it looked better than this, at 40K miles my STI still looked like new inside. Ans as was mentioned before, look t that steering wheel, how many people here with a WRX had a steering wheel that was that worn at 40K?
No way this thing has less than 100K on it

Counterpoint: One of our own I-club old-schoolers, Anthony just posted his 05 STI for sale for even less than this beat to s*** 03 wrx, yeah its got some miles but its easily way more car than this WRX mystery mileage mess here.
05 is the best year STI IMHO, if you're looking for ANY used WRX/STI this is the best deal your going to find!

Yeah but it probably had a consistent miles average. Some people have a spare fun car that they drive a couple thousand miles a year but generally speaking a car doesn't get 35k in it's first couple years and then 6k over 6 years unless it's A. been turned into a track car. B. Sitting/blown motor C. the person got a new job and didn't need it to commute anymore.


So to me there is a chance that it's legit but there's also a chance that it's not. That's scary. If they'll give you a warranty it may be worth it. But buying modded cars with an unknown history and a high price tag is sketchy.
