Well guys I finally did it! Went to Knoxville and picked up my WRX
She is an 06 WRX TR. Completely stock and never modified. I had the car checked out by a mechanic before I bought it and she is in excellent condition mechanically. The timing belt was changed in July at 72k so I'm good there for awhile.
The only downside is the paint. It is not in the best shape but I used that to my advantage and got an amazing deal! I will get the car repainted eventually anyway. All said and done I paid right at $12.7k .
Current mods:
WC Lathe Werks shift knob
Kartboy short throw shifter
Lamin-x yellow fog light covers
Nice find. If the paint is swirly get it buffed. Someone who knows what they are doing can fix alot of that. Or if you can you want a product called rejuvonator from malco pro. I am assuming your paint is faded too. This will really make your car look fresh. Its alot cheaper than paint
Oooh maybe steering? I'd recommend that as well. That was a major improvement for me and mine is relatively new. I'd imagine on your later model WRX it would be greatly improved
From my understanding it is: non painted side mirrors, no side skirts, different less "boulstery" seats and that is it. Subaru was selling this version as a "Tuner Ready" model so I could be missing stuff but I don't think so lol
