You weren't being a jerk, but I'm not getting a job for the car and I'm taking a loan out on my next car anyway, don't misunderstand that I'm doing anything for the car, just explaining the money situation

It's off a Lot. As far as I know all that's been done is the rebuilt STI engine's been swapped in. From what I hear the engines are the same except for the turbo? They have the wiring all swapped and set up as well.

Nope, the WRX TR, it's the "Tune-Ready" model, it's a more basic version of the WRX built to be lighter and easier to tune, in case that wasn't obvious in the name

Sorry yeah forgot to mention that it's an 06. I'd definitely have an inspection, just wondering if it's worth the inspection or if there's something I'm missing that makes it a no-go altogether

Hi everyone, I'm new to this form, don't really know how to do this, but I wanted some advice from possibly more experienced people. I'm temped to buy a car in my area, it's a 2006 Subaru TR with a rebuilt STI engine swap. I want to commit myself to a project car and I think this is a good opportunity to do it, but it would be long term and it would be one of my first project cars. It's 8750 dollars and I would need to take out a loan and potentially commit to paying 2-300 a month for 2-3 years, which I could shorten as I'm getting a second job soon. The engine has 90K miles on it and the body has 111K. It would be a big commitment and I'm not necessarily using this site to make a choice, I just want some tips and thoughts on this situation. Edit: I should add, the car has a lot of hail damage only on the body which is partly why it's so cheap. Also I'm not opposed to "flipping" the car and reselling it, in fact that may be a plan of mine in the future
