Default 1997 WRX purchase.

Hi Guys,

After saving(not really) for a little while i decided to get a car after selling my beloved Nissan 180sx and Honda Crx. So i drove down(family car) to the local Subaru Dealership and test drove 4 models of WRX's.. 2005.. 2002 2000 1997..

Ended up buying the 1997 WRX in clean Red with low KM's on the 2nd hand. I dont know why it seemed more frunty. More nimble and lighter...

Picking it up in 1 month (dont know why) But ill be posting pics and keys and what not that require me to prove that i own it


First thing ill be doing is heading up to the mountains when it snows this winter...

Pok.

So you bought the car and they are keeping it for a month? Thats odd.

Congrats on the purchase though. I LOVE that body style for the WRX (sadly they wernt imported to the US though :cry: ) Should be a fun car to mod though

Thanks man they are keeping it for a month for the engine rebuild and water pump change. And respray as that was the condition as the car had a few chips on it ...

other then that should be gooooooooooooooooooooood

and yes i agree they are the best looking shape as all the other ones took the shape of an alfa if u ask me ?
