What to buy

Ok everyone. My SVX has been in the paint booth for the better part of a year. Were slowly getting the body kit together and the H.O.K. paint and gold camilion chips have been sitting in the corner since day 1 just5 dying to coat my cars beatiful body. I got a Mazda Truck for winter but would like to have some fun in the snow also. So I'm in the market for a new toy. So Here's the choices.

1. A 2003 Subaru BaJa bone stock 1 owner and beautiful. ugly but fun. a great beach buggie also. $12,500.00

2. A 91 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 lime green and purple grafix Jdm engine swap twin turbo 4ws awd lots of extras to mention. 500+ Hp (he has the dyno slips) $10,000

3. A 2002 Subaru WRX blue sti jdm 6 speed jdm engine 450 hp needs body work but I'm probably gona wreck it anyway playing in the snow. $17,500



Let me know what you think.


Look at my poor SVX

Economically speaking, I'd go with the Baja

But for fun in the snow, I'd go with the WRX

Despite the rarity of the VR-4, and the power, I don't think I could push myself to spend $10k on a 14 yr old Mitsu

I shoulda posted a poll sorry but I like you all to type. Polls to easy.
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS
The guy just called me on the VR4 and said he'd lower the price. HE's GOTTA PAY FOR SCHOOL He has reciets for over $20,000 and the 500+ Hp I dont know guys I'm Sweating. If I werent a Technician. I would be scared of it cuse It's gona break but I feel confident I can keep up with it. I like things Different I mean I got an SVX, dune buggie, VW Squareback, And a Fiat Pinin Farrinia Spyder 2000 that I made into a roadster The Gallant is almost dying to be put in the stable. But I always wanted a WRX sti.

The only thing keeping you from your STi (used) is a bag of money, say around 24 large. That's $7500 more than the WRX, which sounds like a good deal. If it wasn't dogged too badly, it will be reliable and fun. Let's compare:

Car_______Reliability_______FTD(Fun to Drive)
Baja___________10_______________5
VR4____________4_______________10+
WRX___________8 (mods)__________9

And the final rose goes to....................

02 WRX's are like A holes, go for the VR4. A bullet proof motor and sleeper looks (except for the lime green ) Not to mention a rivial to the Legacy Turbo that I migh one day bring to Reading to whoop your ass.
