2008 WRX w/195k kms for $8888 (ugh). Is this a good deal? I know STI's tend to have really high resale, but this looks clean.

They are all awesome and ugly in their own way. I'd never call them pretty cars, but pretty much any STI is awesome.

The bugeye wagon is still one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen though. You just can't fix the weird headlights and the "wagon" bit is like a tumour. The STi looks okayish but I just can't get past the headlights. I'd take one over the new one though, better ugly than boring.

Are older 2000s WRX STI, worth even getting? I've kinda wanted a hawk eye, or forester xt. Or are you just looking at a money pit like BMW's. I don't think you can get away from head gaskets, turbos? I've driven a few JDM legacy's but the fuel tuning, knocking and valley of death lag scared me away.

When you look at that generation of cars in general, I don't think you can get away from head gaskets. ANY car that has hit 150K kms or more is going to have to do it. As well as turbos if it is in the range of 10-15 years old. I have not heard of one car brand where a > 150K kms,15 yo car in which there isn't oil burning, turbo leaking, head gasket or cam seals. Just factor in the price when purchasing or a bit of bonus if it's been done already.

Makes me wonder if a 2000's WRX would be any more reliable than a late model E46. Maybe parts are cheaper?

Yea, the HG is a big job but its one big job and that's about it and yea, parts are significantly cheaper than euro. The E46 would piss itself and throw a code every other month, then somehow every part you need is special order from Germany somehow, money pit.

Well to think of it from the 2000s performance cars, they really weren't that bad, s2000, k20 24 Honda's, acuras, Lexus, Infiniti, Nissan were fairly reliable. Even German cars were decent as they were pre turbo, AMG was still na. Except BMW's and Audi's.
