I was very reluctant to purchase a new wrx but after searching for 2 years and only finding a handful of semi decent wrxs that had not been destroyed i took the hit and bought new. a mustang, wrx, 350/370, g35/37 may have that first owner who beat the crap out of it, after all thats why you buy a car like that in the first place.

however i cant see paying for the SI civic. i remember when the 2000 si was like 16, 17k? and now they want 24 ish???? ugh.

again, used. you can get an FA5 Si for $10k if you look hard enough. I'd make sure it was in good working order, toss a suspension and wheels on it, and start saving my pennies for a real sports car. I understand your perspective completely, despite never being in the scenario. I feel like buying a used WRX is like buying a damn DSM. You really have no idea what you're getting yourself into until it's too late. I feel as though they are FAR less durable than people might suggest. Every WRX with some power is on its 2nd, 3rd, etc, engine build. That's not all that appealing to me. It's one of those cars I'd be terrified to modify. haha.
