I would first consider whether you are likely to leave the car standard or get the tuning bug ?
If you think that you will want to start modifying it, I would buy the STi instead of the WRX !
I have spent thousands on my WRX (and no end in sight !) and a lot of the expenditure could have been avoided by buying an STi in the first place.

Mate, you are the Anti-Minjeeta and one of the seven signs....
I got pissed to celabrate remortgaging my house to fit a new kitchen and bathroom, then awoke to find a 'You Have Won' email from ebay the next morning telling me I had outbidded 17 other punters for a 9 grand WRX.
It was the most irresponsible and stupid thing I had done.
Until I read the other email in my inbox which told me 'I had won' a pair of 400 quid night vision goggles.
5 Pints of Stella and don't know how many JDs and diet cokes were used in my research.
P.S. I know a nice man who'll sell you a Jaguar.

I went to look at an early bugeye STi (Jap spec, 2000 'X' plate) the other week that was up for sale at £4500 !
Basically sound but needed a bit of cosmetic tidying, I have a feeling it might still be for sale if it might be of interest ?
Other than that, you should get a very tidy bugeye WRX for £4k.
The way I feel about mine at the moment, someone could probably have it for £4 !

i prefer the 01 onwards mate ,infact i much prefer the 03 facelift but dunno if 4k would get me a goodn ?
ive seen plenty 01-02 for that price but maybe not an 03?would hope i coud get one with fsh etc .
do the later models have a better rep than the early ones ?
