Maybe.

If I can get decent trade-in, and sell/transfer most of my aftermarket WRX stuff. Mine makes 301whp now, so it's not a clear-cut case. If I had a stock WRX it'd be a no-brainer.

bemani · 01-06-2003, 05:21 PM

I'm just going to buy one. Forget trading.

aphex twin · 01-06-2003, 05:21 PM

to me thats a silly question. you can bet your arse im trading in.

ITWRX4ME · 01-06-2003, 05:22 PM

Maybe.

norseone · 01-06-2003, 05:23 PM

I am definatly doing it. Helps that my dads partner happens to own a SUBARU/MISTUBISHI/FORD dealership.

whiterabbit · 01-06-2003, 05:23 PM

i wish i could...not sure if I can get the money for my car

the sti is sweet

WRSport · 01-06-2003, 05:23 PM

Not selling my GM6, but I'm still buying an STI!

I drive a WRX wagon · 01-06-2003, 05:27 PM

My wagon is my first non-hand me down car. I dont plan to ever trade/sell my car. With all you guys trading your cars just means more used parts for my car

. I only have 2 options...swapping STi parts on to my car (2.5L USDM STi turbo swap into my car

) or saving up to buy the US STi

gjhsu · 01-06-2003, 05:34 PM

Two words: I wish.

I really wouldn't mind being a spectator for this car, though. I don't think I'd be good enough for it

jlevy · 01-06-2003, 05:36 PM

This was probably my first and last new car. I'd love to have the sti, but could barely swing the 24k for the WRX. Maybe when the kid's out of college...

My car is paid for and I can't afford to have a car payment anymore. So unless I hit the lotto...

DanzBorin · 01-06-2003, 05:38 PM

hate to rain on the parade, but how many are they going to sell? i bet it's not close to enough for all of the folks who want one...

SUBE555 · 01-06-2003, 05:39 PM

Waiting for an STi Legacy.

rexxer · 01-06-2003, 05:41 PM

House... STi.... House.... STi.... House.... STi

Tough choice.... I've only had my WRX for 9 months and I want a house.... but

is that an amazing car!!!

jblaine · 01-06-2003, 05:49 PM

I'm always a party pooper at times like this.

The new STi sounds incredible. I would like a ride in one, would like to drive one, and would take one if given to me.

However... I have a 227HP AWD car (90% paid off) with $5400 in mods (paid off) that I cannot drive to its limit by any means yet.

I'm fine for quite awhile.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Anyway I'm driving mine until it dies then I'll turn it into an Sti.
More DCCD 6-speeds will be around!

Andrew Bacon · 01-06-2003, 06:18 PM

I have significant mods on my RS, and it is almost paid off but I think that I'll wait to pick up a used STi when (if) thay start to become available, and I don't really want to be a quinea pig for a first year model of anything. That is my reasonable responsible side. The frosted side says YES, NOW please!

I just hope SOA makes as many 2.5 STi's as they do Outbacks, and I'm affraid that is not likely.

no_rex_yet · 01-06-2003, 06:22 PM

nope. no wagon, no trade. even if there were a wagon, i still doubt i would trade b/c the new nose looks silly on the narrow wagon body.

bring on the b4 2.5L twin turbo wagon!

cvalle-sd · 01-06-2003, 06:25 PM

I don't see how I can possibly afford one.

Ah, well. The Buddha said that desire is at the root of all suffering. He, of course was an ex-prince, so he "had it all" and THEN got all poor and earthy on purpose. Plus, I don't think they had the 6-speed back then.

Stripe · 01-06-2003, 06:34 PM

I would love get one, but I like my car and its paid off.

DanzBorin · 01-06-2003, 06:45 PM

i won't buy one, but my RS would love the drivetrain...

i might just have to source one in a year or so...

snowman4us · 01-06-2003, 07:02 PM

and i will buy your WRX's for dirt cheap....MWHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH

mlambert · 01-06-2003, 07:17 PM

I wont be tradin the wagon in, but I am looking forward to all the new STi parts
