Im Kinda new to this type of car. So I thought what the heck I might as well ask. I have now an acura intagre love the car but tierd of putting money in it and kinda of want something new. I road in my friends STi which was the 1st I have ever been in and loved the feeling better then the other cars I have been in,

Here is the prob, I have no clue what to look for in a car like that. I am going to get a used one a 04 or 05 later in the year. I am not looking to drag the car but I plan on doing auto cross with it in the future. What should I worry about? How should I og after the car when buying it. This is going to sound funny but what swagger should the car have when I am looking for it, what pin point things should I look at?

we need to make a sticky about buying a subaru lol theres 3 threads a week about it

 

Thanks for the link but what did you all do before you went and looked at your car? Im sure you did just go and say ill take that without questions.

 

i did, but thats because i read up on them for awhile.

North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club

that will have every piece of info on any importan subaru out there, including the sti.

 

bought mine new... just look for obvious signs up abuse like someone was beating the shit out of it all day... bring it to a mechanic do a compression test ect

 

You do the same thing when you buy every car. You check to make sure it runs right. Find out if the maintenance was all properly done and how well the car is kept and for mods.

 

yeah I bought mine new as well, make it a lot easier

 

^we all dont have that blessing, lol

and for OP... please read one of the 15 other "Advice on buying an STi" threads made in the last month.

 

hey i worked hard to get mine brand new... i sold so much coke and imported sooo many asian midgets but hey it was all worth it in the end
