    Default Serious question on the wrx.*

    Kind of new to the wrx's and was wondering what the Life ecspectansy was. Like how many miles before there kind of done. Buying a 02 with a good amount of mods at 97,000 miles bad or good? Thanks for the help.

    Things to be concerned about:

    -Previous mods with or without tune (this will be essential). If some joke ran an intake and turbo back with no tune for its entire life, expect to get ****ed in the end more than likely

    - Tranny, DIFFS going bad


    My 04 WRX took a **** on me at 85k miles and I kept up all maintenance and tune. They are great cars but they are not simple by any means.


    If you have the money go for an STI. But I would pass on the 02 unless you had the money for repairs in the future.

    yes, a modded suby with 97k doesn't sound so good unless you are getting it extremely cheap and plan on doing a swap eventually, probably sooner than eventually.

    Jorge, what happened with yours? Just curious, you can pm me if you want
