I don't actually have an STI yet but it will be my next car. Was hoping I could get some pointers and advice on what I should look for in these cars, rec. mileage to buy used, etc. I'm looking at between 04-07. Any and all help is appreciated!

What's your budget?

Currently a modest 10k-ish.. I probably need more room to work with than that tho

Yeah. Most 04's with 100k plus are $15,000 to $17,000.

A WRX you could get for that.

Is there a huge difference between the two that would make me want to get the sti? I'm kind of planning on doing a light rallier, dirt/snow tires, adjustable ride height suspension maybe?

The STi holds way better value, but for what you want to do WRX would be fine. :)

That's what I was thinking. Is the extra half litre of motor worth the extra money? Cuz I figure after I'm done doing what I want that'll be the only difference

Haha what are some good manufacturers? Like I said I'm thinking adjustable ride height would be nice, not necessary tho. I've heard Tein makes a nice kit

All depends on your budget to be honest. Plus keep in fact you can find lots of good used parts also.
