I've found some with 50-60k on them....

you could get yourself into a clean BMW for that money... spend a little bit more and super clean 5 series are a dime a dozen.

But if you want a sportscar, you have to remember that the bugeyes is a very quick, very fun car that compromises some comfort and luxury for a purpose-built feel. You won't ever feel like you're driving an econobox, and looking out over that hoodscoop is a religious experience. We've become spoiled now (especially those of us with STi's) but sometimes we've gotta come back to our senses and remember what a great car any WRX really is...
