I'm not sure of anything else about this but would like to go check it out, other cars I have been looking at are the 2004 Subaru WRX and Forester XT. How would this car compare? Is it turbo? What are the mods you can do to it?

Is this a good price for this car from a dealer? What could I offer?

 

there is a 2.3 and 2.3 turbo offered for that year, you would probably notice the difference between the 2 beacuse theres 100hp more on the turbo. If it is a turbo, thats a great price.

WRX is a cool car but im not much on the forester. Subaru parts are much more expensive than mazda from what ive heard

 

Really the parts are?
How could I tell if the one I am purchasing is the turbo model?
Also how available are mazda parts?

 

nope, i was wrong. thats what i get for listening to people. the parts are about ther same.

If there was a 3speed model availible that year with the turbo you would see a large inter-cooler mounted on the top of the engine.
