Believe everything I post  Group: Benefactors Posts: 1,825 Joined: 28-December 02 From: Danbury, CT Member No.: 35   |
I've been looking at getting a new daily driver for myself. I was seriously considering a new STI and still am. However, someone local to me is selling a 2002 WRX with 38k miles that they state is in excellent condition. And, the price is very attractive.
Now, if I bought a new car, I wouldn't be concerned about some of the potential shortcomings with the car because of the warranty. But, this car is no longer covered by the factory warranty. So, I'm a little concerned. I know that there are quite a few folks here that have considerable experience with Subarus. Is there anything that I should be on the lookout for when I go to look at this car? Are there any major issues with this year and/or model? Thanks |

No guru here but I do know that you get a SCCA membership when you buy a WRX new. There are 3 - 5 in my region that joined the SCCA because of this. I know of 2 that have had the trans replaced, my opinion, because of the way the drive when AXing. I guess just like any used car (914) get a PPI done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
