Unless you are hoping for 10 second passes.

Something seems mighty odd about the first post... can't quite put my finger on it.

Thanks for making me feel welcome! And despite popular belief I'm not a rapist... I'm just a 20 year old uni student in my 3rd year of Civil Eng! I have however, been told plenty of times I'm a really nice guy, so maybe it comes across wrongly? Who knows lol.

I'll tell you a bit more about myself; I'm ABC (Australia born Chinese) so I've been in Perth my whole life and love it here. I bought a cheap Lancer to learn in and got my P plates as soon as I could, when I turned 17. So maybe I'm too young to own a WRX, but I've been driving ever since I could. Dad bought me a Mazda 3 as the Lancer was getting old, and he said he'd like me to keep the 3 for for a year or two just so I get more comfortable on the roads. After driving for 3 years plus, I've never been in an accident and I think it's time to enjoy my motoring a bit more. I've been saving up as I work at NIB/Paterson's Stadium at the bar, so if you're ever down at the sports stadiums, look out for me! In my spare time I enjoy lifting weights (competed at 3 powerlifting competitions at Muscle Pit), basketball (been playing for 14 years) and I recently started muay thai! So that's how a rapist lives his life.

Cheers for sharing the links, the STi going for 20k seems amazing for the car it is, however, the mileage is close to 100k (expected for a car of that age) and the power on that thing is kinda scary for someone like me coming from a 108kW commuter. Even upgrading to a WRX would be a world of difference, the STi can be the dream for when finish uni!

There are three listings which interest me for now, but they're all asking for close to 22k though... I'd like to test drive them and see how they are, but my heart has decided I want a rex already! Just from the listings, which car would you have most interest in and is there anything that really stands out (good and bad)? Thanks in advance.

This thread he posted here is kinda worrying:

But I guess nothing's wrong with it?
STi engine is pretty cool too!

Self serviced, is that okay? Pig nose model is a plus, newer car and 2.5L engine! However, mileage on that is similar to the 20k bug eye model which would seem like better value...

Really clean car it seems, lowish kms and nice looking mods!

All three cars have been modded and tuned which is excellent, that means I can just plug in the key and enjoy the ride! It's scary to think that these cars make more power at the wheels compared to what the the Mazda 3 makes at the engine!!!

Thanks for your time!

Personally, try and fin yourself a low km Bug STI

so much better value for money....stay clear of the white bug STI for sale in ellenbrook, it is under finance with the owner only taking ou the loan in January, he is trying to sell it for a lot more than it is worth, plus the pain is shit.

A nice clean peanut is also a good option, as well as a very low km 06 WRX sedan, I have seen a few of them in the past months with ~ 60,000 on the clock for 22K at a dealer...shop around and wait for the right one to pop up

Good luck with the search!

Ah mate I was probably stressing a bit with my first post. The car is perfect but unfortunately I am moving north on the weekend of the 21st. The new motor hasn't even done 15k so it still has more HP to give. After owning it for 5 months I can't fault it. Test drives welcome.
