semi-hard decision

[Clin10]

hello everyone, I only made one other thread on here early in the year, and now it may happen:

Insurance is killing me, and I keep getting revved on too much, then though I now have this:

But I think my parents may be able to trade my car and get some good value out of it now [since the 08's premired] and I may be able to get something of this caliber out of my local lot:

[one I am looking at is a 05 5MT OBP/tan interior Outback 2.5XT Ltd.]

depending on how this month goes, I may be able to trade up to the other side. I know it is a tank @ 3,500lbs; but only ~400lbs more than my current car @ 3,100lbs but has alot of the comforts, and some power to back it up w/o getting a ticket [250HP>177HP] hopefully I may be able to testdrive it sometime in the coming week to see how well off it is.

verdict: do you think it is a trade up, or trade down to go from a WRX-priced 2007 Impreza 2.5i SE 4EAT to a 05 OXT Ltd. 5MT?

thats a big upgrade! go for it.

can someone also answer this: is there any exhaust system for the OXT since the stockers are hidden VW style?

I am hoping I get it because it was what I was looking at in the beginning. a nice, competitivly insured turbo manual Subaru. it is either this or a 04-05 Forester 2.5XT.

Wish me luck!

thankie! haha. yea, I am a newbie, but only because I had my lisence for a shorter time than I have been driving. basically, I am a newbie to others due to my lisence. I have been driving little and little since I was 12 :twisted: but I like for others to think of me as the little kid who "can't drive" haha

What happened to the right front?

[Clin10]

What happened to the right front?

that came from when my car was at the dealer, it was inbetween 2 cars where it was, and I didn't notice the first scratch that is horozontal until after I got it home. the verticle one came from one of my neighbors who was mad at me, and he tried to key my car there until I ran outside [happened a week after owning the car]. the rear one also came from the idots who can't parallel park in my complex [I live in front of the rental office]

Nice car, I say go for the upgrade though. You'll love the turbo.

Great license plate frame too :grin:

thnaks bro. I REALLY want to test drive it badly. of all the turbo cars I've driven [only a 08 WRX 5MT] I want to feel one big thing....turbo lag!

which one, front, or back?

I meant more that the passenger's front door and fender look to be different paint from the passenger's rear door and quarter panel.

[StatGSR]

^ that would be dirt...

[deadlydave]

The front: Maserati? Hehe :smile:
