She just started looking, and stumbled upon what I think is quite a find. What do you guys think?

Also, any input for the situation in general is also welcomed. She's thinking about spending around $20k for a car. I'd prefer to find one that isn't modded, but I also think that the STi is strong enough to take a little punishment from someone driving the piss out of it every once in a while.
I'd prefer an '05 STi. I like the body style the most (as does she), and i like that everything is "better" than the '04, from what I've heard. She's also looking at newer WRXs. |
Personally for $20k, I'd go with something a little more "upscale". The STi is a great car, but really more so for the autocrosser/track hound type. I don't know your GF, but most GF's end up liking something slower but nicer.
What's a used '08 WRX going for these days? Are they under $20k yet? Or maybe an '05 Legacy GT... just about as fast as the STi, but a ton nicer in both amenities, and usefulness... plus the insurance will be a bunch cheaper than the STi.
