Default Thinking about trading in for a WRX?

Yes, its a 2003 blue WRX with gold rims...thinking about trading my cobra in for it, what do you guys think? Then I wont need a winter car and its about the same fast as the cobra and a newer car...

MY step brother works for subaru of arlington ,and he says that they are high maintenance cars. I had the chance to ride in one and it was pretty impressive off the line....... And that wasit, after that I was kind of bored. Maybe you should look at your cost of modifying one of these Vs. your cobra.

I know the all wheel drive is tempting but trust me when the **** hits the fan in that car it spreads like no other. Oh yeah and your gas mileage assumption is based on grandma like driving. If you drive that subaru like you drive that cobra you are in for a big surprise . That turbo sucks gas just like a v8 when pushed,but ultimatley the decision is yours.. Not trying to discorage you just give you some tips !


Would you be pissed If you bought the car and got smoked by a cobra ?? LOL J/k

hmmm... if any thing the smart thing would be to keep or sale it, dont TRADE IN... they wont give you anything ...

IF you can get that loan you say and keep Your cobra, Dont leave your stang just yet
