Thanks Fellas, that's good to know.
The only STI that I really love are the Hatches from the previous model and the sedan from like 2004

2012wagon

2014 orange sti sedan
And 2014 sti hatch

Are my favorites as well

that thing with 5 doors like i said!!!

2012wagon

Same here bro

Always had hatch and wagon aside from two doors
But wife's car and hatch not available

So whatever

KaMLuNg

iTrader: (5)

do they make an aftermarket turbo for the impreza hatch? i just hate how the front looks.. but there are body kits for that..

2012wagon

Ummm

Sell me what you are drinking

You can turbo anything

KaMLuNg

iTrader: (5)

ok so then lets take it another step... can you turbo the 2.0L to get it close to what the STi 2.5L turbo makes out of the box???

cheaper for what i would be buying a used STi Hatch for...


and go!

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Of course, you can with $$$$.

Would it be worth it? Hell no.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I was gonna say, you'd already be balls deep in a car payment, would you really be willing to do all that?

2012wagon

To do all that I wild rather have a used 2014 sti hatch which is still under warranty and you can get subaru gold warranty till 100 k and enjoy it, even with EJ

Also rockstar mentioned car payments- we don't have any payments and I like it that way, your ymmv. My Tsx $1028 a month was getting annoying. It's done and no more payments on any toys

1028 a month did you do a 1 year loan...


Edit: It's none of my buiznass... You don't have to explain anything to me.


Note to self: I should have went into the health field.... been a Dr. or something.

2012wagon

It was a 24 month loan 0%
Bought Tsx 11/26/14 . Loan expired 12/26/16. Paid of 12/25/15

So essentially paid it in a year

As far as wife's car, we saved $1000 a month for last 74 months (she owned her Lexus ) as her car fund. Thankfully she spent 29000$ on wrx (msrp 32,550) plus ttl. So the "wife" car fund has money left over which I am happy with

Edit: ca dmv is being slow as usual
No registration yet in mail
No plates
No title

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

They used to be even slower. I remember when I bought the Accord took them 1.5 months to get my my plates.

The Explorer it took 3 ish weeks. I guess DMV sent them to my Ford dealer and then Ford sent them to me. It had Ford's address on the return label. (wasting money, because I live 5 mins away, but whatever) I didn't put them on until September...

2012wagon

Yea lots of dealers here nowadays
Go to dmv and do paperwork themselves
Then they (dealer) mail you plates

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Damn...Florida ain't bad then! We get our plates in a 2 days.


No payments is the way to go, man...once we pay off the $16K on the wife's Caddy...we'll have 3 payment free cars too.

2012wagon

That is awesome !

Early congrats on no payments

Ya must have with patients parents here in la

Wow...scary shiet...what a beauty, too bad they can't stay on the fkng road.

2012wagon

aid had rs4 and rs6 before and Audi has been good to him even out of warranty

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Hmmm...
well, if I'm being honest...that S5 I had for a week was the best car I've ever driven.

2012wagon

There is no doubt the way the euro cars drive , the Japanese don't come close

I rather have a M4 sedan than my wagon or e63 amg wagon but long term maintenance and issues (even during warranty) is pain to deal with it

I am sure I will be giving in soon enough


Euro bug gets everybody

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I'd get a S5, but I'd have to lease. I'm too much of a panz to own one.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

The lease on that one I drove was 700/month...or pay 48K to buy it...wasn't in a position to do that (intelligently) so I passed. It was blue...6MT...

I agree, nothing drives like German...there's no way around it.
I was recently expanding my search and found that there were some S4's with 100K warranty I'd fk with.

2012wagon

My office car is already leased

I can't lease personal cars on top of that
Not worth it for me

2012wagon

Best is overpay for one at carmax
Get the 125k warranty
Beat the shit out of it till 99 k miles
Sell it

Rinse
Repeat

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

That's what I meant...purchase, not lease.
I have a friend that is a senior purchaser for Carmax...
I may do that when the time is right...

in the meantime, time to pay this 401K loan off instead of buying a new car when I already own 2.

2012wagon

Hehe there you go

My 529c are killing me
Sigh

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Exactly, keep yo car foo.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

LOL...I am!
I just forgot that I like to be financially prudent...living like a baller on a loan I kinda put out of my mind. Gonna feel nice to have my full paycheck back too!

2012wagon

^
Good on you
Being financially prudent and living below your means (especially if your partner is on board) is one of the most rewarding experiences in life

Allows one to have no pressure for jobs etc

Love it

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Agreed and judging from your stable...looking like that doesn't mean no toys later in life either.

If you do it corrects you can plenty of toys as well
Same as neuronbob. If you see his house, similar to mine . Not living in 10,000 sq mansions like our contemporary
Allows you to have paid off toys
No debt
Save for kids college
If I lose job tomorrow I can live 24 months without one

Being overly financial conservative has its perks
Then again having your life partner on board is key . My wife doesn't buy diamonds or care for range rovers so I am lucky

Two docs I work with
Cheap as can be
But their wives live million dollar lifestyle
So they are barely getting by
And fighting with wives all the time

You are almost there my friend, keep up the good work

2012wagon

Yup there is a cpo one . I don't like the color

But I need to get one more year out my tsx wagon before replacing it
