New Ru?

4k into that wrx and you'll smoke almost any car on the road including STI's.

 

well, now we know. looks like a loose loose situation, Wife happy+06' wrx= good enough for me

 

if you are going to stop by also please give me a call a head of time because I do have a couple of appt. 651-734-5485

 

26K is sticker for a 08 rex sedan. FAIL

 

AGREEDEDEDED, THEY CALLED AND I SAID THEIR TERMS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE, THEY WERE LIKE "WHERE ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO FIND ONE WITH THIS LOW OF MILES" i REPLIED " well, my car has fewer miles, when your custmer wrecks it I may be able to buy his seats and door cards"

we'll see if they counter offer.:laugh:

 

they called back and offerd after all is said and done total lone amount $27,915.00 in cluding my upside down loan amount. that is the total loan amount, and I think the wife would **** a brick.

 

I went through the same mental battle with my WRX. In the end, it wasn't worth it. I've already got so many mods done, I'd have to put all the time into going back to stock and putting everthing on my new car, plus all the loss in tax and the dealer making out ahead. If I had to do it again, I would have bought an STI, but I was barely comfortable spending the money on the WRX at the time. I love my 2005 WRX now and appreciate it greatly. I'll keep making it the car I want and have fun doing the work.

 

sounds like you know what I'm going through. why did I ever even think of doing this? I think it is those awesome STI seats.

 

I still kinda want it, but it is just not the right time.

 

I'll let you know!!:biggrin:

 

this one had a dp and tune

 

good dream?

 

By the time my car is fully tuned, I should be around 300 whp, with sway bars, and street wheels, my car is lots of fun, and probably more fun the 90% of all the STIs out there. I've got about $4k into it and I appreciate it more than I would have if I had just bought it off the showroom floor in the condition it is now.

 

I know, but.... to me it comes down to the milage 31,000 miles vs. 9,000 miles.

 

I didn't catch the sarcasm on the last part, sounded pretty sincer, I will Keep my car, and I'm NOT a fool, but I have my moments...
anyway, at least you guys can sleep tonight knowing well you had helped keep my mariage a happy one, and advised me away from financial disaster, MNSUBARU.COM derserves a big pat on the back, you did well today!

Thank you! from the bottom of my heart.

 

I'm allready glad i didn't buy it, the wife said it was a "responsable descion." I'm so getting lucky tonight!!!!

 

Good decision, not worth going further debt for that car. Even though I love my 05 STi, I am starting to get annoyed by my gears. Tranny is solid as a rock, but I end up shifting far too much at HPDE events. Have I made similar trades...yes (although not as much of a financial hit)! Would I do it again...if I really wanted the car and the wife allowed it. Wives are, many times, the voice of reason that you need to stay financially right side up. In your case, financially and vehicle wise, you're better off with the 06.

Now, are we going to see a WTB thread for mods?

 

can't believe I just saw this thread today...lol $19k trade-in for any 06 WRX TR is a good trade-in...IMO Plus the tax savings for your trade-in of $19k is....$1235...So in reality your trade-in is worth $20235, but still buying a $24k 04 STi with 30k + you owe $1500 -equity...even though your only paying taxes on $3765 which is good the neg. equity killz...plus adding back what u owe...FTL

Don't listen to Pete..."If I'm going down the hole might as well go down with the car u want" you'll end up losing both cars in the long run...

*Pete honestly your a ******* for thinking like that* GO OUT WITH A BANG! :roll:

 

i PROMISED HER i'D wait one full year from date of purchase to modify. SO.... maybe hypathecicals?

 

lmao my '06 remained stock for about 15 minutes.

fyi - it's about a 15 minute drive from the dealership to my house. lol!

 

she's worth it, .... my wife I mean. She asked and I promised, sucks, but a promise is a promise.
