I've been looking at '02s and 03s but I recently found an 04 for $16k but sold way to fast. My question is, should I wait it out and find another 04 WRX for $16-17k or just get an '03? How often will I find an '04 for that much?

 

Depends. Do you like to look of the bug eye or the slant eye. As with any used car particularly turbo models; mileage, previous owner, maintenance record, warranty. Go with someone who knows the car. A quick glance will tell them if the motors been F'd with. Uniquely colored bolts, rounded fastners, ect. are good markers for tampering.

 

I like the look of the '04 but I dont know if I will be finding another '04 for so cheap.

 

Cheaper isn't always better. Hang around here for a while and you'll soon see these cars take quite a bit of beating,then... Pooof!!! Over night they're back to stock with a beat block, and I ain't no rapper fo rizzel nizzel. Or am I??

 

yeah. Probably not a "rapper fo rizzel nizzel." lol, and you aren't allowed to say that ever again.

Hrmm, I just picked up my fully loaded 04 WRX with every option, power moonroof, premium sound, heated seats (Heated seats in a wrx? lol) but yeah, I only paid 16,700 and that is with 35k miles on it. I had to do some hunting though, and I am paying to have it shipped from MA to Cali... :-P Meh...

 

^fo rizzel noobizzel?

 

I would wait it out and get the car that you want.
