07+ Imo because I'm a transmission nazi (longer gears), and you get top feed injectors, which will save a decent amount of money if you ever decide to mod it later As you see everyone will have their opinion but 19k for a 04 seems high and low miles/old car just means a lot of lame things will need to be replaced gaskets seals ect.

I agree... Don't buy 04. Buy an 05 or an 07 to stay in the GD chassis.

They regooed mine. And they were falling apart. Hit a curb straight on sliding on pure ice at about 15mph and it bent like a paperclip. I should probably just replace my fronts with aluminum STI ones...

Hey guzie if no one wants to buy your downpipe message barmanbean on here. He pays like 110 just for the cats from the downpipe then you could just scrap the rest. Here is his thread.

Samir said he disliked the icy conditions because he couldn't work on refining his driving skills since he basically just worried about keeping the car out of snow banks. And yeah, from a spectators view point ice is pretty boring since none of the cars can get traction to go fast. Best you can hope for is a car losing it on a downhill in to a snow bank.
