I didn't know you had a thing for bug eye wagons.
I was a little jealous when you bought yours.

If you wagon can stand being among the peasant wagons...

White was my color of choice. Oh well.
That car's probably good for another 80k. The mechanic that checked mine out said they see only one other wagon and that its got 180k and runs like a top.
Why does the one on CL say leather seats? You can see in the photos they are cloth....
I've been shopping around for another WRX as well. When I sold my 2002 a few years back, it had over 100 drag passes, 3-4 track days and 80k miles. Most of its life it had seen the basic exhaust/reflash power mods. Clutch had just started to slip. Oil analysis was perfect and the engine still made perfect compression. Great car, bulletproof and drove quite well on a basic shock/spring/swaybar upgraded suspension.
Great cars, and they're all over the place for 7-9K. I've even seen some higher mileage cars in the 6K range.

No power seats either.
I still think of the WRX as a 'new' car, but it is definitely grassroots. With clean higher-mileage cars under $10k, they're going to be showing up more and more around here. If you have a WRX wagon and a Miata, you've got just about every worthwhile aspect of motoring covered.
Osterizer, I think your mod list pretty much nailed the best bang-for-the-buck approach to these cars. I'm doing just about the same thing.
One week report:
I love this car.
Though I'm catching grief from my friends about it being a wagon, though. Berkley them, I've managed to get practicality with practically (hur hur) no downside!
Ever since I saw this I have been seriously considering selling off all my project/unreliable cars and buying a WRX.

Open up the exhaust and get that tune, they will come around.
I never realized that Austin
-Healey made a wagon.

$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.
11K left on a loan for a 7 year old car?

The previous owner is lucky the WRXs hold their value pretty well (sold for 44% of initial MSRP after 7 years).
SWEET!!!
Rally Time!!!!!
