Have a choice.

Will get the sme pt ex either new or second hand so:

Do I buy new 03 WRX £20250 WR Blue
Do I buy snd hand 02 WRX £15995 WR Blue 26000 miles.

What do you guys think

Would love to say 02, as I have one but if I were faced with the decision, it would be an 03 every time.

Shop around for the 03 and that'll make the decision easier. Walk into a dealers with a little over 19 grand in cash (or with part to finance) and you should get yourself a deal.

(Sell any p/x privately)

Try the 03 and 02 and decide that way. I personally believe the 02 will be rather unloved on the second hand market, despite it being a fundamentally good car... (with dubious looks)

I pick up my '03 WRBlue WRX 2mora so i'm biased but in standard form the '03 wrx had slighly better performance and fuel consumption than the '02 plus there's the new warranty etc...

Whats the new warranty? Whats the difference in fuel consumption. probably not £4000 worth

My car is currently in the Autotrader but I may have priced it too high.

The side by side test is difficult as the domonstrater has been fitter with a Superchip. The car is at Stan Palmer. The Pt ex deal I felt was not bad from then, nearly as good as the BMW dealer.

They also have a car in stock.
