Default what to buy for 9K?

Hi there,

With a budget of 9K, what alternatives should I consider to a standard 2001MY WRX. I need the car to be practical, reliable and have reasonable (sort of) running costs (i.e. regular servicing and the odd small repair)

Cheers.

Martin.

Sti 4 or 5 Wagon for that kind of money.

Jap import, in classic shape, 280-300BHP. Practical, well except for fuel consumption

Good find booboo,
I drive an identical car to this, same colour, history and milage. The only difference being mines a V reg with different wheels... I purchased it a year ago for 9100k and it`s the best thing I could`ve bought for the money. The car is so practical, its my everyday car and the running costs are reasonable. My friend drives an EVO VII and his running costs are easily double mine. The car is also bulletproof aswell but then again i`ve only put a filter and exhaust on it!!!
Would strongly advise you to buy something like this, you won`t be disapointed!

Ross.
