Question: Anything to look out for with these early 2000's WRX's? I know they get rust at the fender and quarter panels and being as I'm in New England and my budget is under $8,000 I think I'll have to live with rust. It's had an engine swap and has no leaks, head gaskets and turbo are fine as well.

Would you do it? I can't see myself in a Fiesta or a Fit, and I've always kind of wanted a WRX.

Is this a stupid idea for a daily?
No I wouldn't do it. A ~20yr old daily sounds like a poor idea.

Other scenarios:

- Sell the 1er and add $8,000 then buy another car - what does that get you?
- Put $8,000 into the 1er - what does that get you?
