New Car, Help!

[evoeater99]

right so i just sold my white 03\' WRX hatchback didn\'t want another suby cause that wrx was my 5th subaru in a row haha but it looks like i\'ve somehow convinced myself to get another. so heres what im choosing between (currently)

03 WRX Hatchback - Blue, Manual, 126XXXkm - 12000 ONO

02 Blitzen 6 Station Wagon - Black, Full cream leather interior, Heated seats, auto, 143XXXkm - 9250 ONO

02 Blitzen 6 Sedan - Red, Full cream leather interior, Heated seats, auto, 105XXXkm - 9990 ONO

03 WRX Sedan - Blue, Manual, Pre 100km service, 95XXXKm 11000 ONO

Any Help on making a decision would be great wanna keep it under 10g if possible, low k\'s & manual but those 4 cars above are quite appealing

why not go for the newer model legacy?

Prices are th one thing missing off that list of cars...the 03 wrx sedan would be my pick if you dont need a wagon just make sure its had timing done.

dude, umm, do you want a small sedan, a medium sedan, a hatchback or a station wagon? It kinda helps with your decision :

[evoeater99]

Pretty keen to but the price of them is the only thing. my mate has one but his is auto, so mine would have to be manual & lower K\'s to 1 up him haha will put the prices up, hopefully can negotiate their prices down a wee bit

I just dunno have had all & did like them all this time round though i have no preference haha hence why im struggling to choose

IMO with 10g you can pickup a nice v5-v6 sti and still have some change left over, A legacy or normal wrx will devalue very fast where as a sti will usually hold its value quite well. (Just my opinion)

[evoeater99]

Haven\'t actually looked at those yet, but will do now thanks! pretty well thought out opinion, i\'m all for cars that hold value

k so the red ones sold, thoughts on the black one with 143XXX ? and re sale have you had much to do with that side of things i know its chain driving but the k\'s are getting up there

I got a v7 sti last year for 10k put second hand wheels on it for 1.5k later on and just love it, this is my 5th suby and i had 2 type r before this one. Get an sti gdb. Thats my vote ;D

Do you want a fast car or a comfy one

You could get an older rocketship

You could get a much newer comfy car

Need to make up your mind what you want - if it was choosing between 2 or 3 of the same model we could give some useful feedback I guess

Don\'t settle for a BH when BP is in that price bracket

From that list the 03 wrx would prob have the best chance of holding value and chance of even getting resale (thats the shape after bugeye, right?)

[DacerX]

Go the Bp/bl it\'s just worth it, I was looking at bh/be before I got my ble and I wouldn\'t touch the older moders now, everything is just better. I have the h6 tiptronic and it\'s great everywhere. Would highly recommend it over the turbo

[Marky]

I suppose another point is resale-wise, most people won\'t look at the model year / kms so much as the shape of a car (some are the opposite tho)

Like... you can get a 2002 BH/BE, or a 2003 BL/BP (maybe 2002?) for the same $$

Same kms,both could have cambelts etc all done, but the later model one is still going to (in theory) hold value longer and gets you if nothing else a much nicer, more modern car for no extra outlay. Or worst case you get the previous shape and just want to upgrade anyway (see: myself, bought BG, want BH, update to BH, now want BP)

That said with the way subys depreciate it\'s a bit of a moot point I guess

[GorGasmSpecB]

If you go for the 3.0 then definitely get a BL/BP.
