rpholz Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 So, I currently own a 86 XT and have a steady job now (thank god) and am going to the bank tomorrow to hopefully be approved on a loan for a new car. here's my question. I am looking for a 02' 03' WRX and was wondering what are somethings i should look for. I would really hate to be paying monthly for a broke down WRX. I work at tire kingdom and am use to doing a 22 point inspection so i am looking for specifics. things that will either gimme big headaches or leave me stranded. thanks so much guys.

Durania Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Tranny condition and modification level is the first thing I would look for.

It certainly is NOT the STi, that is the tranny to have. 02's are the ones most susceptible to breaking. But most of it depends on how it was drove.

I played with EA81s for a few years before getting my 2.5RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
