should i trade in my 02 wrx for an STi
and when should i buy it, is the 05' any different?

thanks brandon

 

thanks, but i really like the bugeyes too err i am at a lost

 

Just traded my premium package 04 WRX which was 6 months old for a New STI. Took a major loss but thats the car that I wanted. No regrets. Except for no radio.

 

I am trying to sell my 2002 WRX wagon privately, but no luck. It seems I will have to trade in. If you trade in, you only get taxed on the difference, right? Then is not that bad. I just hoped to get more $$$ privately. I only got 14,200 miles on it even though it is an '02. Never drove it during winter, and boy, do I baby it! I can't wait to see the changes on the '05 to see if its worth the wait.

 

Wait for the '05s. They will be out before long, and there is a lot of speculation about minor changes that, if true, will make it worth the wait over buying an '04.

 

yeah i speculated about that, i assume they will be out for sure by july

 

I think I'll wait a few years to trade in my WRX for an STi.

currently I don't have the funds to have a major lost on the trade-in of my 04 WRX.

I will first pay the car off then save some so I have a big chunk of $$ for the downpayment of the STi.

As of right now I'll just enjoy my WRX.:banana:

 

one of the most sound judgement calls i've seen here in a while.
i sell subarus, but always mention for my customers to make a "sound" judgement.

my clear advice to all suby sti "prospects" don't bury yourself unless you can justify the real reason. if u can afford it then do it. if u already have a wrx. . . keep it. . . .enjoy it. . . then when u have enjoyed it long enough... shop. subarus have the luxury of being one of the best cars in terms of holding value(versus other cars)

 

thanks gdogg, but i have decided. i figure i'd but the money into it anyways. so why not just buy a car pretty fast with all the STi bits and pieces i wanted anyways.
