i know everyones saying "oh i need to support subaru and toyota, buying used doesnt help out the industry" i hear you, i wish i could drop money on a new car. Trust me, i really wish i had more money haha.

i get that youre supporting the industry, but when you lay it out in front of me, what do you expect me to take, a boosted one for 15, or a stock one with "we appreciate you" dealer flyers for 30.

its just different priorities really, your decision is right for your priorities (no hastle, keep it for a long time, clean slate), and my decision is right for my priorities (save a ton of money buying used and already modded, mod more with money i saved)

i dont really agree with the "hidden surprises" argument. if im going to put new lower control arms and coils on the car, i dont care if its brand new, or 7 years old, im going to put an impact on the nut, a wrench on the bolt, and blast it off then put the new arm on and torque. doesnt matter if the nut is new or not, its coming off, then going back on. your nut is still silver, mine is slightly brown by now, thats just not worth 15 grand to me. this is also why i always rec people to buy performance parts used too. last week i bought usdm toms local pickup for $260, and i wish i could explain that they are a spitting image of new one from ebay, no hidden surprises. i bought 5k mile used coils from this forum, bought and sold used rce yellows for 150 shipped... sold my 5k mile old enkei with tires on here for 1000 (1800 new)...

i can totally understand your side of the opinion and im not trying to change your mind, i just wanted to explain why im on my side of it because i feel like you guys think im "wrong"
