10k more for

COLLECTIBLE


modding an esx is retarded, you buy it because its a limited edition car. theres nothing worth it if you plan on modding.

if you buy it, park it in the garage, and dont ever drive it. it will be a collectors item later down the road. for a daily driven car, its a waste of time

10k to say "oooooooooo i have an ESX car!" while every other suby owner will think to themselves "what an idoit, you know what i could have done for an extra 10k to my sti?"

but sweet looking cars nonetheless.

Collectible Subaru sounds like an 'oxymoron' to me. Personally, I buy cars to drive them, not sit around, collect dust and hope they appreciate.

buy an sti and go faster for less...unless you are into the car collecting thing, which I don't see as a subie thing unless its something like a 22b, s202, etc...

I have an Esx did a little bit of work to it. I love my car I drive it here and there. when my dad and I bought it we looked at it as a long term invesment. If you can afford it and have something else to drive I would say go for it. I get many compliments on how clean and nice my car is and its not to slow. Yes you can get an Sti and go faster for less but it is all about what you want out of YOUR car.

if the ESX stays low miles and well taken care of, id guess the ESX would prob be worth about 3 times more than the basic STi
