2002 WRX central IL, $1750

I picked up this WRX to use as a donor for schennigans and possibly a Brat conversion and have ran out of the need for it.

Basics:

2002 WRX 5-speed, 220,500 miles, Illinois year round use car.

The good:

It's a cheap WRX.

Comes with timing set, water pump, head gaskets, head bolts, and a good set of heads to repair bad exhaust valve.

Clean title no Bill of sale only shenanigans here.

Overall body condition is pretty okay other then where rusted.  No huge dents, a few small scratches and a small crease in the front fender (Other then the rust obviously)

Interior is not bad at all.

It's all there.

100% stock.  Was just someones car.  It was dealer serviced until traded in when the exhaust valve went bad.  No modifications that I have found.

The Bad:

Bad exhaust valve.  Car runs, drives, stops, but I would not drive it far.

High mileage

No good tires.  Comes with OEM wheels and I can include a set of 17x7 Toyota wheels that have tires with treads on them but very old.

It's Crusty.  I'm not going to sugar coat it. It's not great underneath.  It was used year round in Illinois.   The sills are kinda missing and there is some through rust on the rear frame rails above the subframe.  Also the quarters have some holes. I will check the front and rear strut towers tonight to ensure they are not basically missing.  I had looked a while ago and they seemed okay but I will give them a good poke around before someone makes the commitment to come see it/buy it.  

Also both front lower arms need replaced.  Not like..  NOW.. but before substantial driving is undertaken.

This would make a good Rallycross beater, kids first car, winter beater, or Challenge car, or donor for a GC8 WRX swap, or 818 kit.   This is not an excellent repair and make it your enthusiast WRX.    Sill covers are intact and in the car.  

I would just like to get out of it what I have into the car+repair parts.  I don't have a ton of wiggle room on price as the car is probably worth more in pieces then whole.  Which is likely what will happen to it if it is still here after UTCC.

You forgot to say

no low ballers, I know what I got

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

I am just hopeful that I get to say "That's not going anywhere" after someone straps it to their trailer

In reply to nocones :

Well, hopefully it goes somewhere...

I am checking to see if this year WRX is suitable for he 818 donor from Factory 5.

Be right back.

"The parts needed from a 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza/WRX sedan...."

Well well well, let me do some number crunching.

Dan, if needed could the car make the drive back to Champaign?

Looking at ordering the 818 from Factory 5 and was met with this notice"

"Note: The 818 is not currently in production, and we are not taking more orders at this time."

So. looks like I'm out, sorry.

I can't be the only one thinking all that gear would go real nice in something like this:

So tempting GLWS

It's still here.   

One more try before it gets parted at $1400 firmish.  

Also willing to entertain trades for a 2nd gen Prius (body can be bad)

I'm shocked you've still got this. 
 

The want is strong. 

In reply to SV reX :

I could facilitate it being 2.5 hours closer to you....

Listed on FBM now.   Act fast to save me from FBM.

The want is strong, but the ability to take it on is very weak. 

Space prevents me 

This has sold.  Singleslammer offered to buy my Prius for me and save me from another 150 messages asking "is this still available" or "can I DD this".   This was agreeable.

A light bulb just turned on.  The recent text messages are better understood with this information.
