I'm getting ready to buy a WRX. There are 3 for sale at the local dealer.
>'03 WRX in silver w/ 30,000 miles. Dark tint. $18,300 remainder of warranty incl.
>'02 WRX in WRC blue w/ 42,000 miles. It has an STi shiftknob and the pink Subaru oval on the grill. $17,500 remainder of warranty incl.
>'02 WRX in WRC blue w/ 95,000 miles it's missing the rear WRX badging. No warranty.
What is your opinion on these 3 cars? Is there any differences from the '02 & '03 WRX's? Is one year harder to modify than the other?
Need some input please.
Thanks,

What's the cost on the '02?
I would say go for the '03. It's got a bit of warranty left, so after you buy you could have them go over the car and fix whatever is broken
Plus, starting with 30k miles is preferrable, IMO to starting with 90k.
I don't think either year is "easier" to mod. If you get the '02 it could have the "clutch shudder" problem - most '03s (the later models anyway) had it fixed off the assembly line. Ummm..good luck with whichever
The WRX is an awesome car.

'03 clutches ROCK
did u have any $$ for downpayment? if you can step up and look some more try getting a brand new 03... i'm sure that you will get a good price and good interest rate- if u can find one...

So I take it you're happy with your '03 WRX? Glad to hear that!
I test drove an '03 WRX in yellow. They wanted $23,000 for the '03 that has 120miles on it , and $25,000 for the '04 that still has the plastic on it. WTF?

ask em why aren't the incentives better on the 03? 120 miles? thats at least 8-9 test drives. SOA has much better incentives that what we have here.SOJ so go fugure---offer them(if anything) 22500 OTD and see what they say- if they say... maybe... then you kow they have more room. it depends on the dealer though. keep in mind that operating costs are not the same at every dealer(location/overhead costs etc...)
