I've just missed a '98 wrx and phizzle's '99 wrx (not that I was probably going to get it anyway). So now I'm asking you guys. I have $12,500 cash sitting in front of me. My old '97 impreza rx just got written off by insurance because of some stupid storm...

I want something that is manual, awd, a little turbo (at least, so I can do something with it later - worst case), maybe around the '99 mark. Not stupidly old - been there done that, can't be arsed spending a fortune keeping an old car running.

Anywho, you guys are the ones to speak to. There are a few here for just over what I have. Tempted to try and get them down a few notches but I don't want to be an arsehole.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
