Edmunds.com is fairly accurate. I can put up with a lot of "tire kickers and lowballers" for $2K (personally). 6-12 hours (what I've spent selling previous cars) at my current pay rate doesn't come near $2000.

I can't even argue with that.
Would much rather have this (Turbo 6) than the Saabaru.
I would personally budget several grand to restore the engine back to "stage 0" with 183K miles on it.
Anyone ever put a manual transmission in one of these?
If you find one of these (e91) in RWD with a stick for less than $15K, I'll be shocked (and likely buy it). I'm willing to go up to $20K if it's got premium, sport/M-sport, and decent miles.
Two doors? I'm not sure that counts as a wagon. If it does, does a BMW Z3 "clown shoe" count as a wagon?
If that's a wagon, is a Fit? Because that car is no bigger inside and drives about the same.
While even worst case scenario, that's a GREAT deal, but I have to say that there is a HUGE difference between a manual V70R versus an automatic 2.5T. There is at least a 25% surcharge in the used market for manual transmission Vo's, maybe more on the rare V70R's. Can you post a link to the sales ad for the car you…

If you live north of the 41st parallel - this is indeed the best option. Of course, I have no idea why anyone would want to live north of the 41st parallel.
A quick search of completed auctions on eBay and Classic Auto Trader does not show many 2002's in this condition for less than $8K, unless I'm just missing something.
To anyone that thinks this is "Crack Price" - find me another RWD, 398 RWHP, stick shift coupe from Honda or Toyota for the same or less money. I'll wait.
People buy the Camry because they don't want to think about cars (or car maintenance). It's designed for (and sold to) people like Tom McParish or anyone else who is allergic to wrenches. How it drives, handles, look, etc - is totally irrelevant.
Having driven both, I have no idea why anyone would buy a VW GTI over a Focus ST, especially considering the (roughly) $3K real world cost difference, since high volume Ford dealers are willing to whore out any stick shift car that's been sitting on their lots for more than 60 days.
With those miles? That car will sell for mid teens, even though it's the much less desirable automatic. It's tough to get into a Holden / GTO for under ten grand unless it's got over 100K miles ('04) or salvage title ('05-'06). Hell, there was a manual transmission, brazen orange metallic stick 2006 (the best…
I'll grant you that an Accord or Corolla will be more reliable (assuming same year and mileage), but then again, it's easy to find a RWD, stick shift Honda or Toyota coupe with >270 HP for under $10K, right, Maxaxle?
Please drop "irregardless" from your lexicon. I couldn't read any more after I literally shuddered as I read it, and I was in agreement with you up until you dropped that vernacular feculence.
