i finished paying off my SS a couple of months ago and ive been saving towards a down payment on a new DD. ive been looking at a couple different cars, E36 BWM’s, 03+ trailblazers, 04-05 WRX’s and bugeye WRX’s. im looking to spend between 6 and 12k . i like the 04-05 WRX’s best but most of them seem to be out of my price range. its seems the BMW’s last a while but can be high maintenance, ive also heard the subarus last a while too, is it worth paying 8k for either of those cars with 100k miles plus? any other cars i should consider im missing in my price range. ---

i’d stick with the KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid for those who don’t know)… Impala/Monte SS: supercharged 3.8l ones are bullerproof from my experience and a blast to drive Silverado/Sierra? not sure if you want a pickup but you can steal one right now. Tahoe/Yukon: I LOVE Yukons ---

Yea, if you have always been a domestic guy, a Subaru would be a jump. They don’t have the greatest suspensions, but beyond that they are awesome. For some reason used WRX prices have been dropping, and if unmolested are great, reliable cars. Get a set of snows for the winter and drive it for a couple hundred thousand… ---

For some reason used WRX prices have been dropping, and if unmolested are great, reliable cars. Get a set of snows for the winter and drive it for a couple hundred thousand… i thought they had pretty good suspensions? i am new to them though so i probably just heard it once from someone who didnt know any better and just accepted it. so a price tag around 8k is worth it for these cars even despite the higher mileage? ive never looked for a reliable car, always had camaro’s and junkers/shit ass beaters ( my last 2 winter cars cost a total of $800 :lol: ) so spending this much for a DD is new grounds for me and i just wanna make sure its money well spent. ---

I’d say so, honestly I can’t think of anything off-hand that would fail. Everything is still nice and tight after 100k+ miles. And I’m moving to a 92 legacy with 190k that feels just as tight. Look around you could even find one sub-8k hinthint ---
