Is yours a hatch? If so, I'd sell you my hitch. I don't think it fits straight onto the sedans.

Mine is an 05 Wrx "wagon" . Not the hatch like the 08 wrxs as seen in the fast and the furious 4 .

Would it Still work ? Also who makes them ? Links to a site


All I know is NJ salts the **** out of their roads . I bent a control arm in my elantra in HS due to corrosion from rock salt while stopping for a red light . I also replaced the radiation in my Wrx due to corrosion which made a leak in the bottom of it .

It's completely OEM. Some Saabs came with it, others didn't.

I believe I've heard one of the exhaust hangers is a bit shorter OEM on our cars because of it being there so you have to modify to make it fit. I can't speak for if this is true or not. But I know they've been sold to people with WRXs and STis before.

You have to consider that getting a beater isn't just purely for the monetary aspect. I picked up an old Outback that gets mediocre gas mileage so I could park the STI that gets crappy gas mileage. Just on gas alone, it's not worth it financially. The beater makes sense for me because I don't have to worry about door dings, salt and other damage you experience commuting. It also gives me a little breathing room with modding the STI since it's not my primary vehicle. Just things to consider.

This, also when you get a beater, get a really ****ty car (like sub 800) so that if it does break down light a match and walk away while it explodes.

i say you need a beater when you other car is a project/ "race" car. or a car you care about driving in the winter. My mustang never gets driven once roads have been salted. but also, i beat the crap out of it, and normally in some way shape or form, it is ready to be taken off the road come november.
also, i do drive it as my "daily" sometimes during nice days. but its obnoxious. i have race seats. harnesses. no ac. i cant drive by a car with its alarm set. parking garages at school i get yelled at. i have 400# front 325# rear coil overs so its like driving a brick. just not practical.
plus, *****es love audi's. so thats my daily.

Wouldn't you need to pay for it to be Junked?

Call a scrapyard, a lot of them will pick it and pay you for it. you won't get much but it takes a lot of the hassle out of trying to get rid of a car.

And they still don't understand they don't need to dump more salt than snow is on the road before February ends. Come every year they ***** about a shortage in March or April when the last big snow hits.

for my focus 2001. ther scrap yard paid 280 for it. if they pick it up, they substract the pick-up fee to the payout.
