Keep the wrx.
Your wrx is super clean man. Evo will cost you 5k more + insurance. More $$$ to maintain it aswell. If money seems to be the problem don't go broke and buy a car that will make your pockets empty. The evo is an all-around better car, but is being broke worth having a better all-around car?

Hes only selling cuz he wants to get an suv/truck. Hes selling the evo for about 23k but he said he'll give it to me for only $18,000. what do u think? It will be easier for me just to keep the rex but if i want the evo i would have to part the car and sell the wrx and thats a hassle.
help...and Please dont tell me to get a different car other than the used evo cuz i dont have the money. Thanks
02 WRX
After paint
03 Evo8

Your suby looks nice BTW - reminds me of my old WRX. What ever you do you cant go wrong as long as you dont buy one of those new subys with the ugly gay beak thing on the nose.

Your rex looks really good, but as warrtalon said earlier in the thread, there is a lot to be said for a newer/lower mileage car that has a higher potiential for tuning. I dont think I saw it in the thread, but have you driven the evo? Did you like it? That would be the first place to start.

If you value performance, the EVO is definitely the ticket. However, if money is an issue and you like your WRX, I'd be hard pressed to criticize you if you decided to keep it. That Subbie looks great! I voted to get the EVO, but it's not a totally clear thing. It depends a lot on what you value most.

Drive both, as mentioned before. I'd go with the Evo if you like it and can afford it. You only live once. It's a wonderful car and a delight to drive - nothing like it.

KRZY,
Beautiful car, tough decision, that WRX looks very sweet. I had a WRX for exactly 2 years, Mine was a Sonic Yellow Special edition and I had $7000 on engine mods alone, another $1300 in stereo(ice) and another $2000 cosmethics( gauges, carbon fiber raisers,apr mirrors etc)
Sorry to tell you but the WRX is simply in an inferior category, it is inferior on brakes, on wheels,on tires,on seats, on suspension and above all is far inferior when refering to the engine and engine mods.
Be very aware that the 03 Evo have teh identical issues than the WRX have with the trannies. If you can get a 05 Evo it would be perfect but still going from the WRX to a 03 Evo is a huge jump.
I replaced my trany twice on my WRX in less than two months and I ended paying out of my own pocket , very expensive if you ask me and remember, my car only had 21k miles at the time.
I would honestly say change your WRX for a Evo and never look back, it is a win to win situation, you wouldn't regret.
$7000 on engine mods ,tunning and labor got me a pathetic 13.2@104(my best) on the WRX.
On the other hand just under $1500 got me well settle in the 12's and trapping 107-108 on my Evo 8 MR
Go for the Evo dude...

I sold everything so fast that I had to turn down many many people because I sold everything that fast. Definately the demand for use parts on the WRX/STI is huge, consider that advice from Warratlon and myself, I completly forgot to mention about it.. Thanks Warrtalon
