I found a 2002 rex asking price $12,500 but it's got 90k miles. Is this even worth considering? It's the only one i'd ever be able to afford and i could make an offer. If it's properly maintained what should I be looking out for at this stage of its life? Strongly recommend against getting a car with these miles or think if i can get it for 11k or so it's a good deal. Supposedly it is modded and it's a wagon (which i want)
Ask him a question....what number transmission is it on b/c you might want to be concerned with the condition of that, especially if it is modded and has been for many miles. And 12.5 seems like a decent price for 90k miles
what do you mean by what # transmission? like has he had it replaced or the stock/vin whatever on the tranny? the blue book is like 11,500 i'd offer 11k see if he bites, cash $$
if you are looking to get a wagon, wait about 2 weeks and you can get one that is sold for about 16,500. Sol Drums car goes on sale then and i can assure you that car is in fine running condition and can spank just about anyhthing out there.
Alex, see if you can buy Brett's car, its got some serious modifications done to it, as well as looks great :wiggle:
People on this forum tend to take very good care of their cars and not tear the hell out of them. I recommend buying here if a comparable one is available. However, speaking to the 90k miles, we used to have an '86 GL-10 (yes, ancient Subie). When we sold it in 2001 it still ran very well with no major problems (well my brother wrecked it 4 times, but that's about it). The car is good well over 90k, i assure you but the transmission question is a good one. Basically, if he's done a good job of keeping it maintained as recommended and not driven the hell out of it you should be good to go. For myself, i'd look for what's on sale on the forums first and see.
right now the ceiling is basically 14k if Brett is selling his car for that or a hair over i could probably go for that
Here's another one for slightly more, but with less miles. Dark Blue wagon Also modifed, but the mods are listed. Too bad it has a BOV
Oh, and I looked up the wagon you are talking about on autotrader.com and it looks nice, but under the hood is where you would want to concentrate on to gauge the condition. And I have to ask another question... who in their right mind would sell a WRX?? he better be getting a STI... :wiggle:
