The rust was nasty and was photoshopped out  ;-)  hahaha 
I bought it with 130k miles for exactly 5 grand.  Got three years out of it.

I saw this car at Goldstein's today. Not to bad aside from the quarters needing to be replaced.

A grand?  Depending on how bad the rust was, that sounds a bit low.  The gas issue was probably just a charcoal canister issue, or vent issue...  The windows just popped off their tracks, right?  None of it seemed very serious, and I don't see any rust in your sig pic, so you had less than mine, and I paid 4k for mine, with 216k on the clock.
You sir, are the reason this cars sell for so much.   :buck2:

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

Lol.  Okay then, that does sound perfectly reasonable.  Plus, I have no clue how bad the transmission was.

It's probably just me, since I always buy cars (even DDs) assuming I'll be doing work on them, but I feel like most of the mentioned issues aren't much to talk about.  I'm not advocating it having been sold for 3k, I'm just saying that compared to what I paid for my rusty-ass example, it seemed low (or did from the little picture there was for me to draw some info from).

I could just be justifying spending 4k on what should have gone for 2.5, though....  :buck2:

I'm really foreseeing a bad trend starting, mostly caused by me...

Not just you.  It's the stupidity of the Subaru conglomerate in general.  Go and shop for a used 06-07 WRX with moderate mileage (~60k).  Now go and shop for a BMW 330 of the same year.  Same or less money.  It's stupid when a 4-5 year old juiced up econobox sells for 25% less than new.  What's worse, people pay those prices and support the mania.
