Why sell so soon when you just bought it?
Lately I have seen a lot of 2011+ WRX/STi for sale. Why buy one when your gonna sell it so soon? Payments? Insurance? ???????????

the investment in the money just makes it not feasible to have buyers remorse.

People that don't know much buy them slap on a Dp and intake without a tune and hurt the motor and then sell them cause they can't afford a new shortblock

honestly for me, it was dealership. on the island i live on we dont have an official subaru dealer, only an authorized dealer, which is actually a mazda dealership. when they are not up to date with their subaru vehicles, it made it kinda sketch. the tip of the iceberg was when they wouldnt even cover the battery, which on 2011 wrx with less than 5k miles, i would expect it to be covered. i love subaru, but if not even a battery, what else if it was more severe?

Now I'll give you my real life story... I bought a 2011 base WRX hatch, then the tsunami happened. Long story short...I was able to trade it in 6 months later, with 8k miles, for $500 less than I paid. For me, at the time, it felt way to similar to me 2005 I had before. So yea, that's one of the reasons I did |

Some people are in jobs where they drive all the time. I had my Legacy GT for a bit over 3 years and sold it with 91k miles on it.

$500 a month on a WRX is insane to me though. |

I pay $210 biweekly on my '08 WRX simply because I put $0 down. The reason? I can withdraw my stock options from my work in 2 years and pay off the entire rest of the principle in one go, thereby saving interest.

This is America. We've grown up to have the mentality of instant gratification.
When we want something, we buy out of impulse without thinking. Last edited by Smoke; 01-26-2013 at 10:08 PM. |

I think it has to do with the younger generations trying to buy a car they can't afford; nonetheless, pay insurance and gas for it.

Some us like to trade in cars every 3 years or so, I like being able to try new vehicles out(I truly love all cars), you only live once. I have a new dog now, who doesn't fancy the loud exhaust, stiff suspension and quick movements. If I had my choice right now, I would probably be in a new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, I am pretty sure it will be my next vehicle choice, I really loved my 2006 JGC with the HEMI.

I have a 2011 and if I see the right car I will trade/get rid of my WRX in an instant for several reasons...
I like new cars I can get a great trade...guaranteed by Subaru Payments(although I almost always pay extra every month) will go down. It is cheaper than building a new garage to house more than 2 vehicles |
