>>4484244>>4466536NC1s are cheap and you can find them all day long for $5-8000 with the nicest ones being $6-8000.
NC2s are the pick of the litter but they're still $10k starting for a decent one. They also don't always come with a LSD...unless you pick a fully loaded car with leather + 6spd + keyless entry and even then it was a seperate option so its hard to shop online and find them (usually bilsteins = LSD). Kinda frustrating because it seems like 20-30% of the cars on the market are LSD.
I personally ended up with a 2016 STi and I'm slightly regretting it, its not a bad car just kinda turns into a money pit when you ask it to do more than sporty street driving. Probably gonna sell for a ND2 in the summer or importing a GC STi in yellow (what I should've done if I wanted to stay the turbo 4wd route)
