Should i get this car?

Question

Just moved to california, i understand gas prices but idk if i should take fuel economy into such consideration over performance. ive found a 2002 subaru wrx with 91,000 miles for 12000 which i could talk them down a little. my question is which car should i get with where im coming from. i want hp but not too expensive (corvette) or horrible fuel economy help me out. also thinking of acura's trans am and camaro's etc. make some suggestions and please me out

Answer 1

Here's the answer to the question you didn't ask...how much is the insurance on this car?  Check with your agent first as I understand the monthly insurance on a WRX may be more than a payment, especially if you moved to SFO, SAN or LAX.  Otherwise, use the info. provided above about the vehicle value.  Since many people that purchase a performance car "use it and abuse it", make sure you take it to a mechanic that knows the car to check it out prior to purchasing it.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

first of all kelly blue book says that if the wrx is the "sports wagon" the high end wrx its only worth like 10,200... they also get like 18mpg city and 22mpg hwy.  the acura rsx's are a little more pricier for the same mileage and year, kelly blue book says 12,000. but they get 27/33 mpg. but they are also slower, and have alot less horsepower, they also seem to be more reliable... so way out the benifits... power and price, or mileage and reliability... i would not recomend any v6 ro v8 with the cost of gas right now... besides camaros and corvettes arent really that fast.
