My buddy has a 02 wrx, his is the paste yellow one, i forget the correct paint color.
if you can get the brembos, trust me, they are nice, i have an evo with the brembo brakes and they are amazing.
why did the guy have a new motor put in the car?
i remember seeing this one on craigslist a while back..
BTW did he offer you the STi interior or do you have to find the parts?
AWD FTW!!

This car in was a front end accident hense the STi Front clip... I had it checked out at Walker Renton Subaru and they said it was repaired to standards and there is no issue with the repair now.

The Owner of the car buys subbies that have issues and fixes them than sells them at his dealership, so he told me he can swap the interior for the STi interior for like 700 Bucks

But when it was hit the owner before the guy im buying it from ran the motor while it was damaged... so it over heated so bad that you couldnt even crank the motor.

So it has a brand new long block, seals and gaskets water pump, timing belt ect ect ect.. essentially no big service till 100k miles other than oil changes and that ****...

Also have reciepts for all of it aswell.

I am really excited to get this car hopefully on Thursday or Friday this week ill be taking a lot of good pics aswell interior and out.

That's a sweet deal. I had a lot of trouble making my decision on what car to buy in June.
Sounds like you found a pretty nice car. And if I remember correctly he had it listed for like 8 or 9k.
Btw that is a pretty good price on the interior. The console alone for the 05+ sti is close to 300 bucks. It is wierd getting used to the awd turbo cars. It's the first car that has made first gear actually usefull lol.

Well I got the car on Thursday For a grand total of 10,211.00 bucks!

I love this car! This is my first Turbocharged car and its amazing, so much fun to drive and the AWD is cool.

The interior is spotless. No rips or tears, door panels are spotless.

I gave her a nice bath and cleaned the interior, so here are the pictures!

Looks sweet, but you do have some dead pics.
IMO paint the mesh in the hood black, more stealth look..
Nice pick up.
