I am proof that donor deals exist. I just picked up this 2003 WRX salvage title from craigslist in Pennsylvania. It only had 75,000 miles. Damage is side impact only so shouldn't (hopefully) be damage to any of the parts I need. Best part is that the owner already had a lot of aftermarket parts - Cobb stage 2 system. He currently has it tuned to about 290 HP and it runs like a champ! Cant wait to order my kit. I'm off to Carlisle this weekend to check out the car in real life. Plan to order shortly after. Hope the weather holds!

Oh, I pais $3,500 for this puppy. Could probably have paid less, but i was happy with how great it ran and looked. Aftermarket parts are worth $2k+ alone..
