73k miles super clean stock black paint on black and charcoal interior!beautiful black/gunmetal 17'' ADR rims on coilovers, set an agressive low stance, and keep you stuck to the pavement. inside, the alpine dvd + extra monitor mounted in center console keep you entertained with music or movies!

However, you might not even want music when you're listening to the exhaust note of the < one-piece freeflow HEADERS/ UP-PIPE, frontmount INTERCOOLER, BOV, and race STRAIGHTPIPE exhaust coupled to a stromung muffler, all working in unison. ,

leave everyone in the dust looking at your custom taillights as well! also, with the turboxs utec computer management system installed, you can create different computer programs for street, as well as race!


Currently, the stock exhaust and stock ecu are being used in case of smog, and will be included with sale. also, smog will also be the responsibility of buyer!

$11K OBO.
BONUS! l will include a GReddy GRacer front lip with

When was the last time a cylinder compression check was done? Oil & filter changed? Tune-up & air filter changed? Transmission & rear differential oils checked & changed? Fuel filter changed(and how often)? How many small ''accidents'' including major or minor ones? Brakes & wheel bearings checked an/or replaced? Brake fluid flushed out & changed? Battery checked and/or replaced? Front & rear suspensions checked for wellness? Alignment done when? I'd honestly have to know this BEFORE l even made u an offer.

dont listen to this, 2002 wrx is were the worst models & have been known to blow their transmissions easily..since this car has been modified, u can guess he has trashed his car many times.. just at looking at the mods hes done hes a retard, esp when he installed a BOV which does nothing to his car ( the stock BOV is just as good as the aftermarket) & l bet hes running on 100% vent becuase he wants that ricer turbo sound from the turbo which actually hurts the car... this guys an idiot.

Not worth $11k, l would not pay over $7k for a heavily modded high mileage wrx. Judging by the mods, it has probably been abused as well.

First, wow, what a car! You really need to get down and dirty with this car, check it out from top to bottom and from inside to outside. Ask to drive it, take it to a mechanic (that you trust) and have a second opinion. l am kinda surprised that he is not asking more for the car with all the added bonuses. After you decide that the car is in GREAT condition, l would say it is worth more than 11K.

If it is been taken care & tuned properly for the supporting mods then yes, that is a great deal. On the same note l would be very wary of why he is only asking 11K for it with all those parts. It says he has a Utec EMS, but l would ask questions like ''who was it tuned by'' & ''for what parameters'' if he just says he mapped it himself ''it is easy'' l would shy away from it. Like any car the best thing u can do is research as much as u can on the vehicle, finding out what problems they r prone to have.

For early year WRX is always take it for a test drive & pay attention to the transmission: does it shift & gate properly? is there any shudder or grind? does it stick in a specific gear? does the clutch slip? if so it could lean toward the fact that it is been driven hard/ improperly. WRX is r known for their ''glass'' transmissions if not taken care of.

Secondly, listening. These things r known to throw rods & eating bearings if oil temperature or pressure is left unmantained, even then when the oil light comes on it is usually too late. Subaru is r known for noisy valvetrains, but search Youtube for ''WRX Rod Knock'' on what u need to listen for. A new 2.0l shortblock will run u 1500+other parts+plus labour(15-20hrs or so), an ST l 2.5l block about 2000, causing that awesome deal to suddenly not look so great.

The way he is describing it, it comes across as a pure performance car that is ''FAST FAST FAST'' driven hard & more then likely put away wet. Take it for a mechanical inspection if possible, & like stated before the best thing u can do is research till ur head explodes. Yes 11K is a nice price for one, but that is still 11g that u could be paying for a paperweight. is probably the wrong place to be asking about a tuned WRX the only place u should be looking for info & on a WRX is NASIOC.com (just please for the love of god use the search button first)

l myself own a 02 Bugeye MBP in color with mileage higher then that one, second owner, mint inside out, & runs like it rolled off the showroom floor; but l did not get it without a bit of patience & a plethora of knowledge. They're really fun cars & last forever even under spirited driving IF taken care of. So l say go check it out. It may be a case of his loss ur gain, but if not u better have the knowledge to be able to tell the difference.
