    Why a time machine? Well, the Subaru WRX wagon I just purchased has 27,000 miles on it.

    "But Charlie, that's not that impressive!" You say... Well, what if I told you it's a 2002?

    Yeah, now it's pretty impressive.

    I've located one blemish on the whole damn car. The interior: mint. The underside: unmolested. The exterior: a few lovebugs and a little scratch. Words cannot stress what a gem this car is.

    But pictures can...

    Very nice, & well bought. Bugeye wagons are my personal favorite of the WRX's.

    $11,100. $40 less than what KBB says it's worth.

    Probably could have haggled it down a bit, but that's what was left on the guy's loan (also, buying a car with a lien on it IS A BITCH. ARG!) and I really, really, really wanted it after I saw it. I mean, it might be the cleanest stock bugeye wagon in the States.

    It looks super clean. Good deal. I am jealous.

    Nice one! My MIL has one in the garage that just turned 4K miles. She was telling me on Christmas that she wants a new Mustang convertible...... When she bought the wagon in 2002 I got her 92 Corolla with 1800 miles so she has been driving the wagon a little more :)

    Not at all, you are driving yours.... I might never get it.

    I always wonder if there will be issues with super low mile stuff.... I would think yours will be ok because it got regular use vs one that just sits...

    So fresh, so clean.

    Love it, man. A WRX wagon is definetly high on my shopping list when it's time to sell my GC.

    I couldn't own that car.

    The conflict within me to keep such a nice stock, yet tunable car as a nice stock car and NOT modify it.... no thank you. I already have enough of that with my Celica.

    Thankfully no such qualms with the Cobra, lol.

    Hard to find a wrx with any number on the odo with no mods.

    When I got stopped and hassled for 'speeding' last week, I wished I had held out for a wagon instead of the sedan.

    No ticket, just a slow down warning. I was going about 30. In a 35.

    Slick wagon. You will want to mod it. At least some sway bars an a Cobb stage 1 reflash. ;)

    Here's a 33k mile '02 WRX in Columbus:

    It's been modded (lightly, tastefully) but comes with return-to-stock bits

    The current planned mods list:

    "Stage 2" (That's a downpipe, exhaust, and a tune for you non-Subie people, good for a surprising amount of ponies).
    STi struts and probably springs (though I'll do more research on springs for them).
    It's a shame the STi sways don't bolt up, so we'll see where the aftermarket goes.
    Wheels. Rotas, maybe the STi stockers. We'll see.
    Tint.
    The oh-so-stylish yellow film over the foglights.
    I was just shown the "koji" front lights, and I like that look.
    I'd like to eventually switch all the interior guage and switch colors to red.

    Did I mention that you can find "normal" (aka 10k-15k miles a year) bugeyes for under $10,000 these days?

    Did I mention you can practically bolt-on STi-like power levels?

    Did I mention how sweet the turbo is whistling away?

    Did I mention that with the seats down it's freakin' cavernous?

    Get one. We'll form a club of some sort.
