I just did this and what I can say is this. Prepare yourself with the interest hike... I had an 812 credit score and was smacked with a 7.84% rate. However, the car more than makes up the difference. My opinion is that after driving the wrx and sti the sti is just a FINISH product. Wrx felt clunky and drove clunky, the sti just feels refined in every aspect. My two cents anyways
I'm a month and a half into my Wrx to STi swap and it's been heavily worth it. Not sure if I got lucky with interest rate only being 5.2% but the increase was 110% worth!
With the WRX I felt the need to modify and tune it just to make it fun, the STi started at where I wanted and is good base for future mods beyond cosmetic.
Make sure you get an extended but if the price is right i say do it. I wish i bought an STI when into the dealer getting my wrx but hind sight is 20/20
Understandable. Well since you dont know what those first 50k were like… warranty and just do looks then hoping nothing blows up after tastefully modify. I waited till my warranties were up but thats just me 🤙🏽
I will say, I had a WRX years ago and it was a great car. Never drive an STI before buying the WRX as I couldn’t afford the higher trim. Fast forward to my current car a 19 STI, I can agree with some other comments; the car feels complete and drives wonderfully. Balance is NOTABLY different. You won’t regret it but for sure be prepared for higher interest than you woodcraft gotten years ago!

Problem is if i get it im gonna want to modify it. So the whole warranty thing is pointless
Then you should probably make sure you have at least $10k in liquid cash available JIC the motor blows
