Re: wrecked my unicorn :(

Artic silver also looks much lighter in many photos than that picture does.

I have to admit, Mica Blue really does work on this car.

WRX exhaust on that one.  It looks funny with the 9-2x bumper cutout.

Re: wrecked my unicorn :(

Hey guys!

I found this not to far away from where I'm located: http://www.carsandtruckssprings.com/200 … 843576.veh

The dealership etc seems sketchy, what do you guys think???

Any input and feedback would be very greatly appreciated!

Re: wrecked my unicorn :(

Strange intake, hideous wheels, possibly shady dealership... Keep looking.

I would drive an 05 before you buy one.  They are quite different animals from 06s.

Re: wrecked my unicorn :(

That place looks like your typical "main street used car lot".

yeah my thoughts too... hmm

On a separate note, with Saab going bankrupt and the car being rare as it is. Maybe I shouldn't get another Saab. I love the car more than anything but if anything were to happen again spareparts are gonna be a bitch to get a hold of and Im thinking if it's worth it or if this was a sign...

All you have to worry about is front and rear end body parts.  There's always an Impreza conversion.  biggrin
