New car question
I found a car that would be pretty cool and I wanted all of your advice.
I now have a 2000 Acura Integra GS-R, 39000 miles with a AEM CAI and dont plan on doing much more to it. I was looking in the paper today and found a '02 Subaru WRX has almost 60k miles and has a TurboXS stage II kit pushing a little over 300 hp for $20k. I dont in no way need a new car but I have always liked the WRX. I just wanted to see what your thoughts were. I know some of you are much more experienced car buyers than I am. I plan on going to drive it tomorrow.

price is high according to kelly blue book it should be under $18,000 with no mods. if you like it buy it, personally if i was you and had the money i would wait for the WRX STi

Mileage is high. Especially with an upgraded turbo and more boost. I'd be careful, especially at $20k

its a stage 2 kit without a new turbo
TurboXS UTEC Computer (Pre-programmed) 4" Stainless Steel Downpipe 3" Stainless Steel High Flow Cat 3" Stainless Steel Midpipe 2.5" Stainless Steel Muffler Assy Resonator Box Removed so its its not a larger turbo just a more effecent ECU a little more PSI and a new exhaust system
