Well, first of all, you didn't throw out a price. But,
NO! NO! NO!
Don't buy modded. Unless he is getting a stupid good deal, and I'm guessing he's not if he's having his cousin help him make the decision, then no. It's a headache.
What does that have to do with anything?Somebody probably traded it in on something.Unless you know ALOT about working on OBDII forced induction cars,don't buy a modded one.First thing is it has a boost controler.

Dude, sorry to hear that. But I did the SAME thing. Tranny after 3 weeks. And I just did my engine. 7 grand so far, above the purchase price. The bugs still aren't worked out wither. Ya, you really save yourself money buying the car pre-modded.
yea my buddy just bought a modded 02 wrx and it blew within the first 3 months. he had the motor rebuilt. it threw a rod and spun a bearing. bad news. im looking at this 02 wrx but its 100% stock and 1 owner which was a granny that used it as a groc. getter
This is another reason as to why I plan on buying a wrx wagon..... They are more likely to have been less abused by previous owners... And 95% of wagons out for sale are stock, instead of 50% of sedans that are stock...
I wouldn't buy a wrx that was modded even a little. This thing that he's looking at has been modded in almost every department; except tranny.......

Cite this information in SOME way or else admit that you know jack and just like pulling shit out of your ass for your own amusement.
come on mosc, im sure hes just trying to help...anyways the fact is you cant judge the book by its cover...a stock subie driven by a fool would be in worse shape than a heavily modded one( and personally i dont consider that one anywhere near heavily modded) driven by some one who can drive...you never know..a used car will always be a used car..full of mess from the previous owner
