What sort of mileage are you getting?

I guess you can just answer this after you start driving it normally, haha

My buddy is a huge roobasu fan, they're fun little cars, just don't get too ridiculous on mod's.

Wow...even at 50k that sounds a bit steep. They can usually be had for around 10-12k with that mileage. You could of found a same year STI for 15k It thnk. Still very nice car and good color choice. Let the mods begin.

Edit: thought it was older model. IF it was like 03-04 then yea it would be high.

I don't know about that.

$15k doesn't seem like a bad price for a 50k mile unmolested WRX in mint condition.

Cool cars. I like the newer body styles a little better though.

Thanks for all the nice words guys! I'm getting a lil better gas then I did Daily driving my WS6. right now averaging 23 MPG- but thats with some pissed off teenage driving style and stop and go traffic mixed in. After I get over excitment of a toy it should easily get better mileage.
To answer some of the other posts- I don't plan on modding it too much if at all. At most the basic bolt ons (TBE, CAI, BOV, and possibly a FMIC) and a tuner. Although the more I spend on it the less I got for my TA. I'm with you Nine Ball- I like the newer styles a lil better as well, but this one was the first one i truely liked. Also the Price of this one versus the newer ones put the payment were i wanted it at.
In short so far My Subie is making a great car for a Daily!
