That sucks. At that point I would buy new though.

I’m a wrx fan. It maybe my next vehicle….or that new forester….have they gotten the head gasket around 100k fixed yet in subi’s? Or is that just the nature of a H engine?

Color is the biggest one. It's also a Mashup of the top level trim and the performance package that was only available on the mid level trim.

I guess. I wouldn’t get it and get another model cheaper.

WRX Premium is as low as I'd go and there aren't any in white within about 100 miles.

I could get silver or WRB. The 2022 WRX is due to be revealed in a few weeks and on sale this fall. It should have a hopped up version of the 2.4 Turbo in Jason's new Outback.

Not really a problem on the FA motor. They are actually fairly reliable, save for some annoying oil leaks, if you leave it alone.

Cam gears if you're even a little late on oil changes.

Other than oil leaks I haven't heard anything else.

What are your thoughts on a manual for a daily? I love a manual but for daily I would just prefer an automatic.

Other than that…amazing car, but 40k??? We bought my wife’s Tahoe for just 5k more.

I have a manual for a daily, no big deal :d ontknow:

An STi and a well equipped Tahoe are both 40k+ new, so not sure what is so surprising? Just because it's a 4 door compact car, doesn't mean it should be cheaper...
