I wouldn't buy a used WRX. I'd buy a 2011 south of 49 for the same price as a used one here. The only way I'd buy a used one here is an older 04/05 model that I knew the history on, and mod it myself. They can be found cheap, and while the 2.0L is not as sweet as the 2.5L, the availability of inexpensive HP and the super-cheap price of the car make it an attractive package. (I know of a un-modded 2004 with 80K that the original owner is contemplating selling, and he's thinking $11K or so. If he does sell it, I'm thinking about snatching it up.)
