A $180,000 house that you buy for $45,000 is a "fixer-upper". How much did you pay for your $30k+ car?
Subaru spits out more Imprezas in a month than their whole run of SVXi. The bottom line is, if you want a car that doesn't need replacement parts (at least not today), doesn't have expensive, unique, or rare replacement parts, and has a book value higher than a full replacement of a suspension, set of brakes, new tires, and maybe a transaxle...
...you may actually want an Impreza.
