i saw the same thing. i wouldnt bother. thats A LOT of miles on a turbo car man and that price is insane

 

[Burtonrider10022]

do it! make it a rally car!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

haha i know....but in reality only way to get that kinda mileage is highway.

damn i want an 04-05 wrx wagon badly.

 

[Fish]

Well, they are bullet proof according to syp.

 

[Mook]

they arent by any means...tho its an 04 so they dont technically have the glass trans' of the bugeyes...but even so, thats way too many miles. keep looking. there are lower mileage wagons out there at fair prices

craigslist is your friend

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

will you be my friend?

i'm going to still test drive it though so i can get a feel for the 5 speed. ive only driven an auto wagon.i really liked the interior

 

[Fish]

IIRC 04s and 05s had the weak third gear.

 

[Euro]

fuuuuuck that. Knock $5k off the price then I'd consider it

glass trans is in the bug eyes

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i'm cool with it. i'm not hard on cars and if something does happen a built tranny isnt that much. this will be our family car.

 

[Mook]

ill wait for paul (idaf) to chim in later today tho...he'll offer insight

 

[Euro]

Damn kbb still has it at $12,500

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i'm not a fan of the bug-eyes. 04-05 is what i want. i'm more than willing to wait for a good deal.

 

[Mook]

if ure just using that to test drive the 5speed and nothing more, than have fun...but anything else, avoid like the plague

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

its surprisingly hard to find a 5 speed wagon that close to anywhere i go. 15 minutes from work is more than worth it to check it out.

[bluzohh6]

they probably only paid 1500 to 2000 dollars for the car. Those miles are a joke. Don't pay anything over 5k

holy racecar

 

[Phreakazoid]

both of those cars are kinda lame, the first was has just way too many miles for what they're asking, especially for an 04'

Second one is

should tell them to knock of money for having to remove the stupid shit

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

hahah i was joking on the second one. craigslist ftl on subbie wagons.

I think that was more of finding a week old pizza to put in his car and snack on.

i have a good story to tell you over the internet. a bunch of people were at ihop with him and this kid alex told him he would pay him $20 to eat a pancake with every condiment that was on the table on top of it; including ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, butter and syrup. he put a huge bite in his mouth; chewed it for a few seconds then spit it out. he said it was too salty. thats what she said.
