Hey, can i join in?
 

Hey mate,

I'm Alvin, nice to meet you. I've seen some Perth WRX stickers on the roads so I figured it's a good idea to join up.

I currently drive an '09 Mazda 3 but I'm looking to upgrade to a WRX in the next few weeks, exciting times! I'll have to sell the Mazda first though, and I'll have to add some cash on top so I'd have a budget of about $20k... I'm considering the peanut eye WRX as it should be in my price range. It's quite a performance upgrade!

There's some nice examples on carpoint, and there's also a few modded ones for sale in the forums here. The idea of buying a modded rex is quite appealing because I don't know much about cars, it'd be great to buy a beast of a car straight up and just bring it in for regular servicing. I'd like to learn a bit about the car itself too, it all seems really interesting.

Just wondering what precautions I should take when buying a modded car? Anything in particular I have to be careful about?

Cheers, and I hope to meet some of you one day.
Alvin

Welcome Alvin.

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.

Dropped to 22k by the looks.

Welcome Alvin - great intro mate. Nice to see some effort by a newcomer.

Hope your acquisition bring a permanent smile to your face.

Hello Alvin,

Yes you may join in lol

Depends what you wanna use the car for, but there are quite a few examples on this site!

Good thing about this community is if someone tries to sell a shit car, everyone bashes them.
