[QUOTE=Jordiee;667159]06 wrx's have shit motors fyi mac[/QUOTE]


edit....buy before 2006 :)

Are you amac off OCAU?

So I've narrowed my options down to a peanut WRX, bug eye STi and maybe even the STi coupe that scoobygez is selling on here:

I'm really loving the look of the classic style coupe, as my lancer was a coupe before so I have a soft spot for them! Yes, I'll stick to cars before 2006, not only for the better engine, but because I can't afford anything newer! haha

Anyway, not much I can do now until I actually go out and test drive some cars and report back, I'll keep you all updated! Price is also an issue as I might only get 17-18k for the Mazda and was planning to only add a few k on top...

Cheers for all your advice and tips, it's all really helpful for a noob like me.

That's me!!!

Welcome, nice intro!

If you plan on keeping the car a while its worth shelling out a few $$$ now and get the perfect car than regret it and spend the next few years wishing you had something else IMO.

Its good to see prospective buyers joining, normally we just get the 'Ive just bought a wrx, tell me what to do to make it faster' types.

Welcome aboard my fellow ABC! We shall one day take over...

+1 for peanuts! But i am biased.

P.S. You do civil @ Curtin?

Better not be relating that to JDMWA..

Welcome to the club mate. If I was looking to buy a WRX again I would go for an MY99/00 STI. Just like others have said though I'm biased too.

Cheers guys for making me feel welcome, I've been reading around this site for the past few weeks and it's a great forum, glad to be a part of it.

So I've been searching for a decent WRX for the past few week, I was about to test drive Probe's MY05 WRX but we both had work commitments and couldn't meet up. I was planning to test drive it this coming Friday when he's back in town...

Until I saw Sethor's MY05 STi drop to 26k. It was outside my budget but from all the positive feedback on here and on facebook, I knew it was at least worth a test drive. Despite nearly stalling the car on my first take off (heavy clutch compared to the Mazda), my Dad and I fell in love with it right away, we agreed on a price, shook hands and the rest is history. Thank you so much to Sethor, a really nice and genuine guy. He's taken damn good care of this car and I'm privileged to have this car passed down to me. All log book servicing have been stamped off, all receipts have been kept, 20k km on the new EJ207 engine, it's everything I wanted.

Hopefully we can pick up the car by Tuesday evening. I still can't believe this car will be mine in a few days, it really is my dream car! My savings for uni fees has been depleted though (gotta go on HECS now :eek:), but for that boxer sound and turbo spool, it's totally worth it! I drive like a granny and the way Sethor drove the STi around made me wet my pants!

Thanks once again to everyone who has helped me and said hi. To be honest, the Perth WRX community was a factor in buying a WRX/STi, it's just a great community I'd like to be a part of. I hope to meet some of you one day, whenever the next cruise/meet is and I'll definitely need a Perth WRX sticker!

Cheers!
Alvin

I do mate! Have we met?

[QUOTE=ImPreSiV;667082]Welcome Alvin.

Probe is selling a silver MY05 wrx with STI motor and lots of goodies in it. It's a GREAT car and at $23k, excellent value for money.

I wouldn't be looking anywhere else at the moment if I was in the market

Happy hunting. When you get a car and need a sticker, let me know.[/QUOTE]

Mate I need a sticker!
