Wagon: OUT. 2.5RS: IN.

Earlier tonight I went to pick up Scott and Aaron at Autowest Subaru in Roseville. They were dropping off two WRXs for trade in on STis. Apparently Autowest just picked up an '01 2.5RS coupe the other day, and had it sitting on the lot. I hardly noticed it as I went in, so Scott pointed it out before we left.

It was hot.
I drove it. That was hot.
The price - also hot (my shoe is still smoking)
I bought it

Josey wasn't there, but I knew she'd love it - the RS was her first pick, the 2.5GT Wagon was our compromise.

HUGE, gigantic thanks to Eric (ericdared81 on these here forums) for making me an incredible deal on the car and for being so kick ***.

Here are two pics I took of it tonight when I got home from work. More tomorrow

'01 White 2.5 RS, 46,xxx miles





This car rocks.

Thanks, guys. Josey is thrilled with it. Like I said, this was what she wanted originally so it worked out perfectly. It also didn't hurt that the car we got is so clean. The engine bay is so clean it almost looks like the car was never driven

Thanks

Thanks for returning my old wrx guys. Much appreciated. So the two cars must have looked exactly the same on return Huh?

By the way the thanks also goes out to Eric from Truckee as well.
