Default 03 Impreza RS questions

I need a little feedback on this car, I will be in the market for a new daily driver soon, and was looking for something sporty for around 13k, automatic trans, rwd or 4wd, 4dr, ect..... and came across this

AutoTrader.com - Cars For Sale: Car Details

im not lloking to beat an STI or EVO with this thing but I do plan on doing some mods later on and was curious as to what this car is capeable of as far as motor mods and what the trans will handle, what will fit/swap over and so on. thanks a bunch

Mastro priced it high so you can whittle them down and get a "good deal"...

Thats a fine automobile right there that gets better gas milage than I do

Thanks for posting that if you don't get it I might!

Dont get the Lexus!!! older SC400's are usually mid-high miles on engine and there is somethign leaking or wrong. I used to have a few friends that bought used SC400's to turn into drag/drift cars and they would have to tear the engine down to get any use on it.

Stick with the subie. The price is a little high but mastro will work with you! My 04 WRX was 22K I walked out only paying 17,400 after taxes and title. Also that RS is an auto. thats what the price is a little high.

seriously, get the suby. hell, that thing only has 41k on it. my car is about 1.5 yrs old and i have 23k! i would stab at that. also, try and find a normal wrx if you can. if not, that would be a sweet buy. good luck man

Cool, keep up the good info, yall just might sway me the suby way. What kind of turbo options are there?, is the 2.5 RS the same block as the STI?, will stock STI parts swap over to the RS?, Compression Ratio?,Ect....


Thanks even more,



Shane

PS... Do they make automatic WRX/STI/turbo anything impreza?
