Default Thinking of getting an 05 WRX

I've always liked the cars, and im trying to find a newer car than my current one.

Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com

Is that a good deal for an 05 wrx with that mileage etc? And how can i compare the insurance with my '90 240sx? Would it be better since it has abs/airbags/4dr etc

not bad. Car looks good and price isnt to bad IMHO.

it will be more then your 240 (even with added safety), the WRX is crazy high on collision coverage. Shouldnt be crazy high but will go up.

I've been told by 2 insurance companies that Nissan 240s were pretty high on collision coverage too. You may get lucky and it could drop.

It's not going to get much cheaper. Ins co's love young drivers with "sporty" cars.

What I meant to say is the WRX is really high on collision, but compaired to 240 it wont be insainly higher (as compaired if he had a 4 door corolla).
