    I've got a 02 Wrx wagon that as the title says, unfortunately has low compression on cylinder 4. It's got 179,xxx miles on the chassis and trans. Clutch has been recently replaced and transmission shifts very smoothly. The car does still run and drive so if anyone is interested in driving it, it is an option. There are no mods on the vehicle other then Swift lowering springs and a OEM short throw and MOMO shift knob.

    My intentions were to sell my current Forester and do the needed repairs to this WRX. As most may know doing a complete engine overhaul can get pricey and I don't have the funds to drop up front on it. I don't want to let it go but it's just not in my cards at this time.

    I'm asking $3,150 for the car as is. I'm more then happy to show it to whomever is interested. Like I said it is driveable to anyone interested to check the clutch and transmission functionability. More pictures available upon request.

    Utah plates, eh?

    Are extra wives included with sale? ;)

    Nice looking car, at this price it should go quick. Good luck!

    Tempting. How much do you think you can drive it before it goes boom? Would it just need new pistons,rings? Have to bore it and all that? Trying to figure out my options.

    My guess is you aren't going to throw some rings and pistons and be good. Just a guess though.

    My thoughts exactly, I jumped into it pretty much planning on replacing the short block and getting the heads machined
