Default Big question for all

Ok right now i am stuck in a question of getting a "new" car....i bought my tC almost a yr ago and i do love the car...but i found the car that i really want

04 subaru impreza wrx, turboed, for 19,500..

the real big question, is it worth trading in my 06 tC for it..i really would love to have a manual car again (tC is auto). But i dont know if the trade is worth it, seeing that on used car's APR is higher and i am at a 5.75% APR on the tC.

help me out ppl :D i need some good advice

Id say go for it. How many miles are on the wrx? Id sell the tC private party so you get the most out of it.

One thing is I know the older wrx's have some crappy transmissions, not sure if it was 04 or 05 is when they started getting better.

Overall with that price if it has fairly low miles id say do it. Would be a fun car!

Rex's trannies didn't get the nick name glass tranny for nothing.
I was gunna buy one and read up on it. seems that the quality of the trannies varies from car to car. generally speak'n they aren't too bad. just remember never never pop the clutch. trannies take a real beating in 4wd cars when you put all the power down at once. the wheels won't break loose like a fwd car. And, be'n that the scooby's tranny is touchy to begin with, well you get the idea. Other than that, yeah go for it. I often think I should've got'n one, instead of my celie.
