I guess it all depends on how long you are thinking on keeping the car too. By swapping over you are getting a car that's 4 years newer and with any luck will have less problems and lower k's.

Yeah I have been looking at a few builds, just checked yours out now and it looks sweet. They look so clean already, you just need to do a few bits to bring it all together and you have a beauty.
I planned on keeping my 02 for years, but I keep finding myself too envious of newer wrx models to keep hold of it. The bugeye look has grown on me but it is still a bugeye. In the beginning it was just the newest model I could afford, and I didn't like the gc8 interior much so I went for it. Over the last six months I've been eyeing out other models and I do think the peanut is one I can really love. So to answer that question, probably about 5 years or more haha.

Possible, and something I'm ready for. It's not the end of the world, there's always a private market out there. It will take a bit longer to sell and will put me out of a car for up to a few weeks while I find another car I want to sink my money into but I can deal with it. I think I have come to the point now though where I do want to move on from the bugeye.
Anything around the $8k mark will satisfy me.

You also probably won't get much for the bugeye as they normally sell for 10-12k at dealers, also if you get it make sure the 06 has service history and been looked after cause you don't want to sell a reliable car to buy a lemon..... |
Yep it has a full service history, and one female driver. I know, we hear it all the time LOL but I saw the evidence in the log book today. The car is bone stock, not even an exhaust or muffler, feels like a good start.
Thanks for the input guys
