freecreditreport.com
the idea behind a site like that is that you must be looking at your credit because you're trying to buy something, so they have tons of ads and "check here to here about great offers from so and so". The only thing I'm not sure about is if they make your info available to lenders just because you filled out a report. If so, stay away. tons of lenders pulling your FICO is bad for your credit score.

Actually, the goal of freecreditreport.com is to get you to buy their annual "credit protection monitoring" service. For like $80 you get unlimited access to your credit report and they notify you every time there's a change to your report. There's really no legal room for any shenanigans with your credit- bad, bad things happen to companies that use it inappropriately.
Corbic, Leases are usually a good idea if you plan to keep the car beyond the lease term, or if you won't mod and won't go over milage and know you want something different in 2-3 years. That $189 wouldn't stretch much past $200 a month after tax, and interest is ALREADY included. Compare that to a 60 month financing on almost $20k and see how the payment compares. Leases aren't a bad deal if you plan ahead.

Well I think I'm going to wait to get what I want. I'm expecting to get a better job in the Fall and I would also have saved more money by then.
I know this won't sound good.. but I have to ask.
Currently it looks as if come winter 2003 Mitsubishi will be in the 20-23k range with LOW miles. I've seen several 23-25k Evos in person, all nicely kept, clean sub 30k mile cars. Can't be said for many 2003 WRXs.
What would you get for 22k, a year old WRX or a 3 year old Evolution? This is a troubling question for me, seeing they are not even comparable as cars for the most part.
WRX will have cheaper insurance, cheaper feeding time and be more civil as a daily.
Evolution will be an Evolution and would be an Evolution for a daily... O_O.

How do you figure? I'm looking at $25,000 base, $27,000 with a few options. Figure a even if you are a great negotiator your still $23-24k plus taxes. My dealer has no problem selling WRXs and STIs (10 STIs since December, and they have a mark up as well).

I paid $23,200 for my WRX brand new in 2003. You can easily get that deal or better. You just have to negotiate, or find a bad *** sales guy (*cough ericdared*). And honestly, you can get a new EVO for $26k. I've seen em here in Sac for that much.

If your looking to get a used one I'd be looking to spend 17k at the most to make it worth the mileage.

EVO looses a lot of the practicality you get in a regular WRX.
And you can EASILY get a base WRX for under 22. if you'd like to pay 23.5 for one, I think myself, and about 400 other dealers on this site would love to sell one for that, but if you do your research, you won't pay that. Not by far.
Of course, it IS 271HP.....

What practicality does it exactly lose? All I can think of is fuel economy on an Evo is all over the place and insurance will be much higher.
