Get a Saab there are some good deals out there now. GM parts on the drivetrains. There won't be much of a resale on them though.

Like a lot of cars I think they can easily nickel and dime you to death once you get up there close to 100k. I've spent time on the MB forums and I don't think there are many 05 models near 150k miles.... I would not own one without the ext warranty. One trip to the Stealership can easily cost you $1000.

That is funny, but if you do get a ricer I like these. The 2011, 2012 WRX have the wide body like the STI but they are a little more tame. I almost bought one but wife said I was to old.
