Good deal? Or stay way

Wondering what you guys Think about this car and price.

I'm in the market to get in something new sometime soon was considering waiting til spring and getting a 2015 wrx but before they unveiled it I was dead set on a twin but now I'm not sure what to do. Seems id be getting more car for my money if I buy the frs/brz above compared to paying close to 30k OTD for a wrx.

Ahhh, decisions decisions.

I'm 22 and am a pipefitter making 60k and have 10k saved as down payment for a wrx or I could buy the frs/brz above and have much smaller payment for much less time, not too mention insurance is cheaper on the twins most likely.

Just looking for opinions, thanks guys and gals.

I doubt you even could buy it if you wanted to. It's pretty difficult to get a loan on a salvaged title.

If you can get a loan regardless, I would stay away.

Oh, I was unaware of that. I could most likely take the rest as a personal loan out of my 401k if need be. I'd just pay it back in a few months.

Subaru badge on the front, Toyota badge on the rear, Scion badge inside. Identity crisis, much? Lol.

Stay away, a high chance this could be a franken car essentially two halves of two different cars put together especially with a salvage title. Being a rebuilt/salvage title means this car was written off by an insurance company as not worth fixing for either safety and/or cost related.

Just be patient and wait for either a used one with a clean title or gather enough to afford a new one.

Also would have no warranty and possibly be difficult to insure.

Nope, unlike most people I like to take my time with big purchases and essentially not live outside my own means so I don't yet have my new car. I'll just wait and get in a wrx most likely cause I know I'll miss the power coming from a stg2 wrx.

Thanks everyone for the info, insight and opinions. Clint I'll most likely be getting my wrx from you so we'll be in touch!
