Buy what you can afford. Period. That includes the 2.5i.

The wrx is a very stout vehicle. I've had my 06 for about 5 years now. The only thing I've had to replace (other than my scheduled maintenance) on it is a clutch and that's only because I went to two full seasons at the drag strip. Take care of it and it will be good to you without big issues.

The wrx really is a good bang for your buck in the long run. Every car, of course, will have it's cons. I actually have a good handful of buddies that are muscle car guys that said if they were ever to get an import it would be a subaru. They told me not to tell anyone though haha

Keep you eyes open for a WRX wagon. Even old and in need of some repair, it would probably be cheaper than new. |

They are not horrendously overpriced on the used market. They just hold their value far better than most other car makers. Would you rather buy a car and have it depreciate immediately?
Despite what you think, these cars do not go up in value. Some people just pay too much for them and ask for more. Just because they ask more money doesn't mean they are worth it. You can easily pick one up for MSRP (which is actually only $25,795) pretty easily if you are willing to drive out a bit. My BRZ was marked up $5k. I paid MSRP. Dealers are easy to talk down. |

i used carwoo.com to get mine. Negotiated a deal online directly through the dealer and had a price below MSRP set by the time I walked in to pick it up. Also used truecar.com to check the value to make sure I was getting a good deal.

Just remember that Truecar.com is a tool used by the dealers. It is still really overpriced. I'd say start the negotiation at about 10% under what the TrueCar price is and try to settle around 5% under the TrueCar value.

I did schedule an appointment to come look at it with my wife (after negotiations with her got to that point) and he had it pulled in the showroom, gave us the full tour of all the features, then the wife and I both test drove and put it through it's paces before we made a deal. I gotta say I did appreciate only having 27 miles on the car when I signed my life over, I mean the paperwork for it! |

One of my regrets is not buying an older STi
It wouldn't have suited my situation as well as I can fit a lot in my hatch and I move a lot for school, but I kind of wish I bought a STI wagon. Just from what I have seen, more mod friendly without as many problems with engine 'splosion, better chassis etc |

Oddly, I'm not sure why OP isn't looking in the For Sale section. There's a lot of people selling used Subarus, often with some worthwhile mods that most people already plan to do but cheaper to get into. Being young doesn't matter a ton. I've test driven a lot of new cars when I was in my high teens. I drove up in a junker, was not dressed well, and I still got good service from a lot of the dealerships around my area. It's really dealer depending, more specifically salesman dependent. Even at the same dealership, you can get a pretty wide range of response from one salesman to the next. |
