to buy or not to buy scooby??
Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum but maybe I will be a member soon. I'm looking at a 2002 Impreza 2.5RS with 69,000 miles for $11,000. It's dark blue with dark grey interior, fog lights, spoiler, cd player, and etc. Only thing is its an auto. Other than that I love the car, it's beautiful. Just wondering if there's much of a performance drop with the auto. I'd think there'd be some but how much? It's tough to find a nice subaru like this but is it worth it to get the auto? I could keep looking for a manual but I know it would be tough to find one at such a deal as this. Thanks for the opinions.

my good friend has an 00 2.5 rs, auto, and he says it gets enough bang for the buck, so to speak. i would never have a performance based car that is an auto, but, to each is his own....

I would buy that car if it is really as nice as you say.Yes they are hard to come by and especially one that hasn't been too tampered with.At least with an auto you don't have to worry as much about wear and tear with someones driving habits compared with a manual.
If your that concerned about power and speed,buy another type of vehicle.Problem is price and insurance......know what I mean!
Good choice,I'd pick it up and if you don't like it in a few months,sell it.You likely won't loose very much money.
Have a good weekend!!!!

I haven't checked what the blue book value is for a MY02 (model year 2002) RS but $11k doesn't sound like that good of a deal to me for a car with 69k on the clock.
For any previously-owned car, ask to see maintenance and service records.
