My brother said he saw a WRX for sale today for either $1,999 or $19,999 and he doesn't know anything about cars so he wasn't sure if it was an old WRX or a newer one. But I'm definitely checking it out tomorrow...

Now, all I have to do if it is only $1,999 is convince my pops to sell my Neon...

How much would you think a 1999 SOHC ATX sedan with 80,XXX miles would sell for?

We had a strip back where I was living. I've taken a few cars I didn't think I could. A thing is, never over-estimate a civic. It'll be obvious if it's done properly. THey used to come stock with 93 hp. :P It's not much better now. XD The best victory I ever had was over a friend of mine. I hate to talk about him.. Ok, bad lie. He had 93 civic with motor swap (I don't remember which, but it was a stupid move with all the options available) After I beat him three times in a row, he sold the damn thing and got a 99 Eclipse Spyder. Now... everyone sit down. He finalized the sale Saturday morning, and brought it to my car club meeting that night. While attempting to show off, he backed it into a pole and totalled it. Now that everyone's done laughing, he went and bought a Forenza, determined that he would beat me. Four times on the street and he still talked, so we met at the track. ((I only endorse track racing, BTW)) Time slips don't lie. He lost, no more mouth. The morale of the story? You can win, don't let them walk on you, and only race at the track! :P Later.

I have a WRX...muuuhahhaha. Great car. The turbo lag takes some getting used to though. Gotta keep it above 3k rpm for spirited driving.

I'm guessing it was $19,999. They only came out in 2002. Mine is a 2002 and it has a trade in value around $12k. It is probably a '04 or '05.

It's the '02 SOHC 2.0 motor. At the time I couldn't find a 2.4 in decent condition for a good price. I paid 500 for this one and it runs a lot stronger ((And louder.. oddly enough)) then the Neon's did. Only a few minor adjustments to get it to fit. No gasket problems that I know of either, I can't really complain. :P


My neighbor has an STI.. that thing scares the hell out of me..they caged a monster , put him under the hood and force-fed him air. XD
