Good engines. Just gotta replace the intake gaskets every now and then. I had a 94 olds achieva with one. My woman had a 94 grand am with one too. 220k on the original motor and still running strong.

Just make sure you check the gaskets! If they haven't been changed yet, they probably need it.

I bought it last fall but due to circumstances I had to park it thru the winter but before doing it I noticed there was no flid in the tranny ( figured that out on the drive home from the po's place this spring when i brought it out i figured I had a leak well after filling it and driving it s couple miles and not finding a leak but no fluid again i figured out the tranny was just so dry there was no fluid in the torch converter the first time i filled it... po musta done some tranny work and not refilled it.

Nice! I owned a 2004 wrx. Great car but insurance was outrageous. Right now I pay $110 for full coverage on a Toyota rav4 and a 99 Harley softail, liability on a 90 civic, the jeep and a dirtbike. For just the subie alone I was paying I think $114 a month. If you can swing the extra $$ they definitely are great cars. I personally would look at an 04 or newer. The 2.5 engines are a lot more reliable as the 2.0's were notorious for spinning rod bearings even under mild abuse and the transmissions in the 1st generation wrx's were cheese.

Picked this up for a grand. No rust. Transmission makes noise but I picked up a rebuild kit for $169 so that's what ill be doing this weekend.
