i was thinking of saving up a couple grand, plus whatever i sell my hatch for put as a down payment on a 03 wrx.
what do you think i can sell my hatch for? probably on ebay.

how much difference in insurance should i see?

 

the wrx is faster in pretty much all aspects except on rolling races, but in the 1/4, and autoX, it dominates my car.

ive been wanting a "better" riding car and a car that i can actually take out and not worry about it missing from the parking lot.

 

the werks chews thorugh gas...

but other than that, it may be a good step up.

it is just another kid's car though.

 

they do bad on gas?

i also dont drive ALOT anymore.

mostly weekends and random places if im off.

not really worried about it to much.

what do you mean by another kids car???

 

are you looking for financial advice?

03 wrx = $25,343 with destination. add tax, reg, etc = ~28000 out the door for a stock no option WRX.

28000 -2000(downpayment) - value of civic = X

so what is the value of the civic? i'm not sure but lets say $5000.

so you still have 21000 you have to get financed on. 21000 over 5 years at 4% is approximately 480/month.

 

i think when all said and done though, i would like to walk in with 10K down and wrx sell for 23K out the door here.

 

never underestimate the price.

23,400 is the Invoice price of a 04 including destination.

WRXs aren't exactly flying out of the dealers so invoice price is very possible. Don't forget to add all the other stuff like tax.

Also if you want a 03 then you should be looking to buy now. I don't know of any dealers around here (CA) with any 03s left. All have 04s only.

 

will it be worth it to make the payments on a wrx?

 

yes

 

that's one of those questions that only you can answer.

because to me it's not. but I don't really like the car that much.
