    WTB: Bugeye wrx or 2004-2005

    Anyone have an leads on wrx's for sale? Looking to spend 7-10. I think the 04-05 is the best looking but a properly done bugeye is sexy as well. If anyone has any insight on one floating around let me know. Much appreciated

    Is that the place right next to the ford dealer? If so I walked in and offered 8 grand cash on the spot for a car with a window sticker of 9. He thought and said ehh we just got it in. I laughed and just left. Im sure he picked it up at action for 4. Would have made quick easy money..Kinda surprised me

    Honestly I'd skip a bug eye. For a nice non molested/riced out low miled one you will spend around 9-10 grand.

    Bugeyes ftw. They still command pretty good money. Watch nasioc.com for a nice bolt on car. I just helped a co-worker find a 45k mile 03 with a few nice upgrades etc

    Dude your telling me man!!!! Some of the guys on nasioc are asking 17 for a basic bolt on 2004 with salvage title. Half that sites members obviously dont want to sell their cars or are forgetting its not brand new anymore. No lie I have seen 3 cars on that site with realistic prices.

    As stated before the problem is all these I feel were beat to fuck by 18 year old kids... i'm going to take my time and wait for the right one. Or just buy my new Ducati during winter. Whichever comes 1st I have the cash in hand therefore I am king

    Yea lucky you...thats what I want. One that was driven by someone old that used it for work

    I seem to always pick the wrong car that holds its value due to popularity. I was on dsmtuners a few weeks back and some guy was trying to get 8 1/2 grand for a clean stock 95 eclipse gsx. Its like ok I understand its clean but sir you do realize your car is collector plate old now and for 1500 more I can go buy an evo

    You actually have the part wrong about all the 18 year punks being on nacioc.com selling overpriced beaters. That isn't a Honda website. There are a lot of Subaru enthusiasts over there that take ridiculous care of those cars. Pampering so to speak. There may be some a bit high in price on those forums but I would say you could find some very nice cars. Better than going used car lot hopping looking for one. Cheap and wrx can't be used together inthe same sentence. If you want a cheap, beat wrx you can find one for sure on craigslist or eBay. But if you want a well taken care of car with nice mods and service history you pay for that. The bugeyes are still some of the most sought after and you don't see a lot of them for sale that are decently priced but they are out there if you look. The guy that bought my 03 wrx wagon came from the twin cities to buy it cash in hand. Sold through nasioc.

    It would seem like a crap shoot. Most of the ones that ever come up "reasonable" ie what they SHOULD cost, are the ~02's, with the shitty trans.
    The non-bugeye command retarded money for an ok car, but there pretty much 2-3g's high at all times.

    Believe it or not ive seen a few evo's go for 10-12 that were mint. I guess i'm just use to being in a circle of car guys that finds amazing deals lol Like I said thats why u have to wait for the right deal.

    Nasioc I didnt say was the 18 year old kids with beat cars. I was more referring to the lump sum of used rex's I've come across. Most of the cars on nasioc are very well maintained. But there are a few cars on there that are a bit overpriced is all. I saw a great deal on a mint 03'... sold for 8!!! Sold the same day I emailed the guy!

    If you up your range a bit to 16-17 an 04-05 STi can be had. One thing to keep in mind wrxs/especially STis were made to take a beating. Also around here from what I've noticed from meets is I'm usually the youngest one at them with an STi at 21. They generally aren't beat on just driven spirited when it comes to the older owners.

    I know thats well over what you're looking for I'm not sure what you're want of a WRX is. But the extras about the STi make it worth every penny.

    just some food for thought.

    Yea I would LOVE an sti..but outta the price range for moi. The problem is after I pick up a wrx ill sell my jeep. However I cant risk selling the jeep and then having more money for the wrx. Still need transportation!! But it would be nice to have another $3500 to play with

    I knew of a Sonic yellow bug eye pushing 375awhp for 8k rare color, looks completely stock. I don't know if he's still selling it. I'll try and find out for you.
