And looks good and can rally cross and is fun although not fast. Perfect for a project. Swap in a WRX engine. Can you get an S40 for 11k?



First I will answer the question about the S40. Yes, you can get an S40 for $11k especially if you went as old as a 99. Second, how many people who own Impreza's ACTUALLY rally their cars? I just have never seen the infatuation with the RS cars. It takes A LOT of work and money to even make them semi-quick. Spend the extra money and get a WRX or STi. (The one thing I do love about that style RS is the hood though)

I am not saying the S40 is an amazing car by any means, but its a fun little car. 170hp and 2700ish pound curb weight makes it pretty fun. Not to mention adding a simple boost controller pushes that to around 200hp. For about $1500 or possibly less I can have a low 14 second S40, now that would catch a lot of people off guard.
