    I'm in the market to upgrade from my '02 WRX. I thought I'd grow a quick thread on here to see if anyone was looking to sell.

    Thanks for your time.

    What will be the car's main purpose? Do you see yourself modifying it in the future?

    I do not know as much as some do on here, but I would say if you are looking at an STI, I would shoot for an 09 vs 08. I had tons of trouble with my 08 WRX, and heard they fix most of them with the 2009, I would assume it was the same for the STI. I would go 11 WRX though.

    I'm pretty much in the same boat... 09+ sti / 11+ WRX. Been chatting w/ KA-T_240 about his 2012, but it's tough to find the time to drive from Minneapolis to Moorhead just to look at a car :/

    My car is still for sale. Can work something out with you if you are still looking.

    08-13 STi's are mechanically the same darn thing, except in 11+ they stiffened up the spring rates and lowered it a hair. I also believe that 11 (maybe even 2010) was the first year that they offered the limited package for the STi with a sunroof, bluetooth, heated seats, etc.

    And I forgot to mention that the 11+ has different front control arms and you can also disable the hill start assist in 09+. Lots more info here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2179569

    Ok, back to the OP's original request...anything can be had for a price...give me a nice offer on mine, and I might be on my way to buy an Evo! haha

    This thread grew pretty well, but I bought a 2010 OBP WRX sedan. No major mod plans, just the simple stuff, flaps, tint, and maybe some exhaust.
