maintenance nightmare
Cant say no the the S4 without an explanation.
Spoken like a true HATER6th gear in the evo was basically an overdrive gear. I switched my MR trans out for the 5-speed gsr and haven't looked back.
Evos just own sti's in all categories. Especially if you want big power. Sti's start losing pistons and rods around the 350 whp mark. I have been running at 420+ for years.
To each his own.
I had a 04 B6 and never had any problems with it.

i had a 03 B6 and it didnt give me any problems until it hit 100k miles... gave me hell for a few years after until i sold it at 133k miles

damn homie you replaced the ****** 3 times already? i wouldve said eff it after the 1st replacement went out.
Not all evos, just the 6 speed MR's have weak ******s. But then again, i was driving a 6spd MR with 400+whp and 400+wtq for almost 2 years with no issues. But i was well aware of the weak ****** reputation and wouldn't shift hard or launch it from a stop.
You and Nelson are right about the weak motor, internals for STIs are not built for 400+. But from what I heard you guys have weak transmissions, not sure though just heard that.
I liked the front end of my 04 more than my 06.Actually if i was forced to get an sti i actually like the 04 more than the 06. Not sure why.

BUT no Evo, I don't care what year, looks as good as a 04-07 STI. Yes Im biased.
definitely manual and 4 doorsWhat kind of car you are looking for again? 4 door manual AWD? Or just a AWD DD?
never owned an awd, so im very curious
and at the price range, there's really no two better options
anyone want to give me some tips when buying from a dealer?
im looking to buy a car from a dealer but i have no idea what to do, i have NEVER bought from a dealer before. by this, i mean to drop the price of a car, trying to get good interest rates etc.
i know im not supposed to tell the seller what my budget is and if a price is too high etc..
im also most likely getting a loan..so should i go talk to the bank first to see how much i can get approved for? should the bank be taking care of interest rates?
would you guys be able to help me out? im a noob
im gettin sick of driving my pos 95 gsr lol
Find out the going rate of the car you are looking to buy so that you go into the dealership knowing exactly how much you are willing to pay for the car. kbb.com, autotrader.com, truecar.com, etc
Research your loan options. If you are getting a brand new car, check the dealer websites and many will say if they are offering promotional financing like 0% or 1%. If you are getting a used car, your best option is a credit union. So you can talk to the credit union first and get pre-approved for the car loan before going to the dealer.
Bring a calculator. Run the numbers while they are "talking to the manager". Take your time and don't rush. Discuss total numbers and not dollar amount of payments. If they give you the dollar amount of payments, stop them and pull out your calculator and multiply the number of payments by the amount of payments to get the total you will be paying for the car.
^^^yes i have heard about people just walking out and declining what the dealer has to offer. i definitely will not let my guard down as they are trying to rip me off lol
i will be making calls out to the few dealers to talk about pricing to see if it will be worth my trip since these dealers would be 10-25miles from where i stay.

yup I have a few used cars in mind that I am looking to buy. however I am slimming down the list so I can feel more "fit" for the car so i wanna say my budget would be around 15k
since im going for a used car, would I have to stick with the percentage my credit union is going to give me? or would they try their best to give me a lower percentage? (depending on the loan of course)
what do you mean by total numbers?
i appreciate the help! thanks
