ALL THE 2.5's HAD HEAD GASKET ISSUES!! Yours hadn't had them yet, and you were damn lucky!!! But anyways, yes they made an N/A 2.0 but you'd have to find an imported one. Why don't you look into an FXT? My insurance on mine is the same as my RS was. Not expensive at all.
.....well, monthly anyways

2001 2.5 RS. 5 Speed. 98,000 miles. 2nd owner. No Rust
I am sad to post this, but I'll always have my memories. I bought this car in 2005. It came from Atlanta Georgia. Car is in great shape. Rust proof in Montreal with hot oil before each winter. I've put 50,000 miles on her and she is a great car. This 2001 model came with the Limited Slip Rear Differential, which is great for traction. It has the SOHC engine. Timing Belt changed at 75k and just recently new pads and rotors all around. New tie rod ends, shocks and struts, battery. 4 brand new Hankook Ventus S-R2 Just put on Sept. 1st. Also comes with four winter tires mounted on separate wheels for winter. If your looking for a RS, look no further.
The car is great to drive, very nimble and quick. I'm a home owner now and really need a pickup so the RS has to go. No Trades.

That car looks awesome, but the only problem is that the coupe is the only body style I haven't been considering
. I want a sedan for the handling but a wagon for the utility.
A coupe is just a sedan that's harder to get passengers in and has less space, right? Sure it handles better, but...

Although I really need the sedan, I'd probably be better with a wagon. I need the folding seats, and back doors for throwing lots of crap in it.

^ Well that's good, but it sounds like it would be better to go with a 2.0L (even though that means higher insurance).
I found an '05 WRX with a 6-spd and only 55k miles and an '02 WRX with 50k miles. I had heard that boost creep was an issue with the '05s, but Inski says that that's only a problem around Stage-2 (i.e. not a problem for the high school student who doesn't even need a turbo). The '02 is only $10k, and I don't know if that price should worry me or not for such low miles (it seems cheap but it could just be the economy). What are your guys' opinions on the two?
Also, is Evergreen "partnered" with any other dealers? There's no cars there that really fit the criteria and it would be nice if you guys could get a few more shipped up.

No we're not partnered with anyone else but EG has bought cars off other's lots, put them thru our shop and fixed front line ready, and sold. Or you could always bring in whatever you're considering and have it looked over. Any other dealer or private seller should stand behind whatever they sell and be OK with having someone else look at it. We do it all the time.
I meant you should just drive it for a year, with maybe an exhasut and intake, and enjoy and learn the turboed AWD. Learn the tricks yourself, learn the weaknesses from others mistakes.
Nailman has a 05.
I didn't say that!
