The Subaru Impreza WRX Sti is a high-performance sedan, with decent room in the back seat. The standard fulltime all-wheel-drive system is legitimately a safety, performance and foul-weather advantage.
The WRX STi sits atop the Impreza line. This is the one most coveted by hard-core driving enthusiasts, and it's distinguished by a huge two-step rear wing and even more aggressive bodywork. More important, it's powered by a crazy-fast 300-hp version of the boxer four, with even firmer suspension and track-style Brembo brakes. Safety features include dual front airbags, front side-impact airbags, and seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters for the front seats. ABS comes standard and features four sensors and four channels. Electronic brake-force distribution also allows for better emergency braking.
For 2006, the Subaru Impreza models have been restyled front and rear. The body structure has been improved and the suspension refined. There's more standard equipment, more safety equipment, and more new technology.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
