Please help me (WRX first car)

Asked by GrahamOfSalt Nov 15, 2018 at 11:41 PM

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I am 16 years old, have a full time job (while
still in school) and I've always loved the
2004/2005 WRX.. I recently saw one on
Instagram and that give me the urge,  is there
anything I need to know when purchasing
one? I want to do stuff to it visually not really
proformance I would like it to be reliable. I've
already bought an older truck and buying a
new dirt bike this winter for the next season
of racing so it will probably be mid next year
or later before I buy it. I don't know a whole
lot about cars but a little. Any information
would be appreciated.

Most old WRX's have been used and abused by young Ricky Racer types. I would not recommend one to a 16 year old. Too expensive to insure and I doubt you could afford the repairs. Avoid modified cars! Too many idiots over boost them.

Insurance will be very expensive. This is not a good choice for a first car.
