yeah, the rs appeared in '98 (with the gold rims). i think '95 was when the restyled imprezas appeared ('95-'01).

Matey (M80),

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... but a used RS will be around $12K - $13K when you turn 16 in November.

Insuance in MA for a used 2.5RS will probably cost you around $2K/year. Ask around, for a kid just turning 16 with a car like the RS is NOT going to be cheap at all.

The RS is getting slammed in resale value by the new WRX. Everyone is dumping their RS for the new turbo car. The market is flooded with RS for sale. I don't see any reason you won't be able to get one for $10,000 to $11,000 very soon. I tried to sell a '98 RS for two months and finally someone bought it for $10,900. The economy is slow and the RS is not the "one to have" anymore. Make an offer to someone desparate to sell and you'll be surprised at the deal you might end up getting. Good luck!

Heh, Jim, don't forget to at least buy some frozen peas to add to the noodles, at least they're healthier.
