I'm looking for a 98-01 Impreza RS 2.5. Must be 5-speed. Any color but red. Prefer the coupe but would be OK with a sedan. Cloth or factory leather are fine. Prefer stock-ish but some aftermarket bits are OK.
Ideal car would be 2000 or 2001 coupe with low to average miles, clean car & title, relatively stock, and black. Cloth or factory leather OK.
This would be a daily driver and occasional fun car.
I might be interested in a car that needs some work, if it were priced accordingly.
Thanks for reading. Please contact me or post a link to your car (or car for sale you came across!). Thanks in advance for the help.
Send me a PM here or email to:

I like red too (CRX and Cobra)
But am partial to Blue Ridge Pearl (what my 01 RS was)
They are great cars. 00-01 are by far the best.
Did you try the New England private classified section of NASIOC?

I heard that the red cars crash more often than other colors. Where would such a reputation come from?
Anyway, thanks for chiming in Jack! Yes, I check NASIOC often. i can't believe how busy those classified are!

That's possible due to all the extra HP red cars have, which in turn makes them much faster than other colors.

IMHO, Subarus Sedona Red Pearl is a great color. Its a very deep red, almost maroon. Clare calls it Robitussin Red.

Monsiuer Newly Appointed Chief Instructor ... that is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!
The correct response is red cars appears (and most often ARE) to go faster than others because of it's aggessive colour.
Let's take another stat here:
Those who won their class in 2008:
SSC =
RED Alfa Romeo
SSB = Silver VW (neutral colour)
SSA = Silver S2000 (neutral colour)
SSGT =
RED 350Z
SSU = Yellow Vette (OK you got my attention ...)
ST-4 =
RED Nissan SER
ST-3 =
RED RX-7
ST-2 =
RED MazdaSpeed 3
ST-1 = Silver STI (Neutral colour)
STGT =
RED Mustang Cobra
SPC = Blue S-2000 (Blue is nice!)
SPB = Silver STI (Neutral colour)
SPA = White 911 (White is clean!)
PC = Blue/Yellow Warrior Monte Carlo
PB = Silver Locost Miata (neutral colour)
PA = Black/Yellow BMW (Bumble BEE!)
FP = White van Diemen (white is peace!)
So I see a lot of
RED cars here on top of the charts... what say now???
