what do you think of wrx's

My car needs things replacing, like oil pan, ac, and has lighting problems, among other crap. Plus it has auto and it would be like 2k in parts for me to do the swap

Im thinking of getting a wrx, any ideas? If I trade in my car, I highly doubt that I would be getting another BMW, if I wanted my dad to help me with any payments, or insurance.

well i dont have any ideas, but ill say this: get the wrx

**94bmw325i** · 04-12-2006, 03:43 PM

crap maybe I should have made a poll...

wrx, fix my car, other option, under say 17k realistically...

wrx, a lot of fun for a reasonable price.

**94bmw325i** · 04-12-2006, 03:52 PM

any idea what they are like reliability wise, im assuming they would be easier to work on than my car, and a bit cheaper parts wise?

Why do you doubt u'd get another BMW?

**donald1476** · 04-12-2006, 04:24 PM

I personally hate WRX's

Your budget is 17k? Then don't limit yourself. There are a few fun cars you can get brand new, with a full warranty.

**Rooz** · 04-12-2006, 04:43 PM

Dude, I can get you a very nice E46 for under 17k!

**94bmw325i** · 04-12-2006, 07:31 PM

BMW's are a pain to work on in my opinion, plus I can't really go rallying in my car, or an e46 BMW.

In the summer im doing rallying driving classes, so thats why I was leaning towards a wrx. I mean a full warranty would be nice, and I am sure I could get a faster car for the price, but im still thinking.

Oh and by 17k, I mean I would pay overtime, what is it 5 year payment?

For a used car... five years is a long time, new financing... 5 years is the norm. But if used, that would come to ~$55 a week +/- at a reasonable interest rate.

yeah that wouldn't be too bad, so do you think it might be 3 years or so then?

Storamin · 04-12-2006, 09:33 PM

It depends. I think after the car is 5 years old you can't get a 5 year old loan on it.

I did....

**94bmw325i** · 04-12-2006, 09:41 PM

ahh fuck it, I might as well just try and convince my dad to help pay the costs of fixing my car, get a nice exhaust, rims/tires, 5 speed tranny and call it a day. Would be way cheaper than trying to buy an 03 wrx or something.
