I know you've been looking for a WRX for a while now! why don't you put it as a down payment for a new WRX?

any year in particular? id love to have an s14 w/ angry eyes (97-98) plus they're the newest. the prob w/ the older ones is that my father would be less likely to approve (id love to have a hatch also tho) =D

anybody know of any S14 of GC8 for sale? must be manual..thanks!

MR-2 or 240. My buddy out here has a really nice yellow MR-2 and I've taken a liking to it.

I like the 240 because I'm a sheep. baaaa baaa

it's just hard to beat what you get out of a 240 when you're talking about cost (as in very little). rwd, handles great, fun to drive, easy to mod, TONS of parts, etc, etc, ... the list goes on and on.
If you shop around, you can find a 240 pretty damn cheap, then use the rest of the money to mod the hell out of it and make it "your own" car. (if you know what I mean )

I got my '97 S14 from San Fran, ... I found it on autotrader.com and had a friend hand the money over and drop it off at Matson. People here would've been trying to sell the same car for $9-10k easy, but I got it for 8400 shipped. There are many, many dealerships that will ship it for you also, even some shops who will sell a "package deal" of the car and your choice of motor swaps anywhere from about $8k up to about $13k depending on the car, etc. You can get some deals on ebaymotors.com too.

anyhow, just a thought
