think its a deal? it seems super clean. stock, 2 owners, very low miles. comes with front and rear RS bumpers for $200. KBB value is 6500 here in CA. minor dings. just needs a rear diff flush and a tranny flush.

i think the wagon will become the project car and this sweet little thing will be my daily.

anybody have lowering springs that would fit? :p

that is an AMAZING deal. I can't find any imprezas under 10k $ for sale around here...

lowering springs for the legacy or Impreza?

Impreza. I have Megan coilovers on my legacy.

Yea it blew my mind when I first saw this. I had to jump on it on it. You just don't see these in CA either. If you do, they're RS models and around 10k also. The L model is so rare in this condition. Any '99 model in this condition is super rare. I'll post pics this weekend sometime.

So i picked it up and i found out it was really just a one owner car. The second owner works for JE Pistons and he was planning a build on it but never got to it. He's building his EVO instead! Poor guy, right?

His moving on, my gain :)

Oh and he threw in the RS bumpers for free basically! Brand new OEM!
I think I may just keep it lookin like an "L". I really dont mind this front bumper at all and the RS rear bumper seems to be the same.

RS bumper can house some nice aftermarket lights though...

Stick or slushie?

stick! only drawback is the tan interior. but it came with grey door cards so im partly there to a grey interior. If plans go right, I'll throw the '06 TR interior in here. Or maybe 04-05 WRX all black front seats.

I keep tossing numbers in my head though. Do I sell the wagon, which I put so much time into? Or do I try and flip the Impreza? I wish I could afford both. Any thoughts guys?

Yes I know. I'll hold on to them until I know what to do with the car. I hear the bumpers are harder and harder to find brand new, also.
