Attention: WRX owners

^That car is long sold!

If you look at a 2002(some of the newer ones have the problem, but not as common) it might need to have a fuel line replaced under the intake manifold. When its cold it leaks and makes the whole car smell like gas.

as mentioned there can be a raw gas smell in winter.
yeah look at the clutch and tranny check em over good.
pay attention to any modifications made, ask if all codes accommodate the mods.
turbos arent cheap to replace so check that over good too. most ppl buy wrxs to drive like its a wrx so take that into consideration as well.

I heard that they are even more than grand prix headlights, so you know they aren't cheap.

you can buy a stock STi turbo for 150$. that's cheap.

I think I have the highest mileage WRX in the area. So far i've replaced transmission ( my fault very hard on it) and wheel bearings. Otherwise just usual maitenance stuff.

^You do your Timing belt?

How many miles on your WRX?

[banders]

Just under 150k. Yeah, timing belt was replaced probably 8k ago.
