WERD UP! you'll find much better deals out east and down south especially in FL... I was looking at 04 g35 coupe with the sports package in Texas.. They wanted 9k for it with 85k miles. I was too late, it sold in 4 days..i say expand your search area. i found the silver wrx in new jersey because it was $3k cheaper there than in the midwest. that's enough of a difference to pay for a dealership inspection, fly out and drive back.
you should really try to a 2001 2.5RS and drop in an ej257 (sti engine) and the 6spd tranny
