I'm looking at an 02 WRX sedan to DD through the winter. Assuming the car is in decent shape with 100k on it I'm thinking it should be worth 6k+. Thoughts? Anything in particular to look for on these cars?
 
Just went through my 2004 WRX I picked up as a DD. Timing belt/Tensioner/Pulleys, not a hard job. I'd add steering rack bushings and front sway bar end links to that list, they are cheap and easy to replace.

Averaging 26mpg out of a tank in country driving, no complaints yet.
Small interior in the sedan, a blast to drive. I'd recommend paying a little more for a nicer car, you'll like it.

So the no Mobil1 is true?
 
Thanks for the tips guys.

$6k for a bugeye with 100k miles is a good price. . . if it's not a total shit bomb of a car, has not been beaten hard, and has not been running on mobil1.

At 100k it will need timing belt; plugs; change all fluids; hopefully wheel bearings and struts are in good shape; make sure that there is no coolant in the oil; compression/leakdown is a good idea; you should think about going with an aftermarket catless up-pipe to prevent catalyst breaking up and killing the turbo; 5 speed is probably a PITA to get into 1st and R while rolling, but make sure that the synchros are good; otherwise these are very good cars and a fvck load of fun in the snow.

If you need any further help with them, shoot me a pm or email ([email protected]).
