    Well, I had a car all lined up before I sold my Jeep to garage, but the s60 volvo I had my mind set on sold out from underneath me. Now garagealchemist is picking my jeep up on weds, and I need to find something nice (a car, with good mileage), to replace it.

    I feel it was the subaru world calling to me...buy a wrx.

    So, wagon or sedan, help me find one.

    I'm hoping to keep it under 10k, which is hard, I know. Mileage wise, the closer towards 100k we can keep it the better, but well maintained trumps higher miles.

    So far I've found these:

    I know you're on here, are you not selling the car anymore?

    This one, a bit further away. One of Se7enrex's finds.

    I went to both morries dealerships today, and they didnt have anything in my price range.

    I want a wrx, turbo, a little bit more frame/weight for ride comfort, and less road noise.

    I've had an RS. I liked it, but I'm looking for something a little bit more substantial.

    wow bullwinkle! you're quick.

    I know bill really well. I also know his car is 2.5k out of my price range from a conversation I've had with him.

    The other wrx's seem to be long gone, but that wagon of skids I'm raelly interested in.

    I just shot him a PM and will be calling him tomorrow to set up a drive hopefully.

    **in all honesty, a wagon is probably the best for me. I need the space, etc. The sedan would simply be bought for the "cool" factor."

    uh oh, competition. Lol, just messin with you.

    I'm also looking at VW GTI's. I just need something with good MPG and with enough room for sea bags and a couple of buddies, or a buddy and some boards.

    I have a bulletbox for the top of anything I buy, so space isnt a HUGE concern, but a niceity.

    ok thanks i want less as possible i just look for higher as well cause sometimes you can talk someone down i want 11k about..less would be great more would have to be worth it. here is another i went and test drove..he is not in a hurry to sell so i think his price will drop..it ran fan but needs belt done and the inside needs a clean..

    Lol, I'm an evil foreigner, came to take away your jobs and your cars :p
    Seriously though, I want an RS sedan more than a WRX and will buy one only if I absolutely love it, and I'm not gonna commit to buying that car tomorrow, so pa4sno has a chance ;)

    In case you miss it - you have a PM about time and location where Skid is showing his car tomorrow.

    dman, you're a good guy. I appreciate the help. I replied to your pm, but what I need to do is get ahold of skid and figure it all out today. I'll grab his # from his for sale ad and just give him a buzz during the day. Maybe I can meet him somewhere around lunch, ha. Poor guy is probably tired of showing it and letting people test drive his baby.

    If you could let him know I'm VERY interested, and can pull money together today and buy tomorrow, (if you back out) that would be fantastic.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Scid's wagon is sold, that was a hell of a deal for a nice ass wagon, but if it isn't sold yet, and I didn't have a car I would be all over it like no ones business, competition doesn't matter if you are gonna buy a car you want. You just fight for it.

    Well we already have a deal worked out, and I'm going over to meet him, hand over the cash, and get everything straightened out in the morning.

    Like I said, hopefully it works out!
