Too many periods. Get whichever one you like better. The STi isn't gonna lose any, or only a very small amount of resale value.

It would depreciate in value anyway, and it's not like you were considering a 2006 STi so I don't see why it would matter.

Save your money and invest in an education? In counting the number of errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation in your post you are in more need of "modding" your knowledge.

hey...
leave 'em alone... types just like i do... i like em welcome ! sti vs evo = both good cars it's a personal decision you know? are you going to resell soon? what are your insurance costs? monthly payments? work out what is best for you and go for it. you cant lose either way, both are exceptionally nice cars. cheers Jamie www.subiegal.com |

Ouch, your post gave me a headache to read.
If you're worried about resale, the EVO is definitely not the car to get. Get the 2004 STi, it's not going to depreciate significantly because of anything that gets released in MY2006 so you have nothing to worry about. |

THANKS SUBIE GAL
I don't think i will keep the car very long. Insurance cost of EVO VS. STI ---- STI more expensive but only by like 50 dollars every 6 months or so. I'm 21. My insurance is still very high, but oddly not much higher than the Honda. The main thing is this, prices of the used evos are about 23k (maybe better) a used 2004 STI is 24k-27k But as i see it, ESPECIALLY from your credentials...Subie Gal (saw your website) i think and hope you maybe right about resale value of the STI even after a body change (rumor) for 2006. I HOPE...... what do u guys think? |

subaru's hold their value pretty well.
i would just get the car that YOU really want? Take my 2001 ... 2 body changes ago... i can probably sell it for $4-5k less than i paid for it. that's not bad... 5 years and 2 body style changes later *shrug* if you can afford it, and want the car then go for it. Jamie |

All cars will depreciate. Careful buying a used STi, though. Some owners like to romp on those cars from the start. Give it a good test drive before you buy. An Evo likes to burn through its brakes quickly, compared to the STi. And the brake job is a pretty penny (so is the STi's). It's all a matter of taste....choose wisely.

Don't settle for your second choice, you'll regret it later. Get the STI, you'll feel so much better that you got it. Good luck.
