Hi there guys n girls,
I'm new to this forum and new to MPS.
I've have always had my heart set on a WRX, but was strongly recommended to check out the MPS and I was very impressed!!!
I can't really justify (afford actually) buying a brand new MPS (house mortgage to pay); but would prefer to buy a new generation model (i.e. the BL series), so I will have to wait a bit. Is it reasonable to expect in 12 months (end of 2010) I could get a well serviced/looked after 2009 BL series for low $30's? Also a few general questions;
1. What are the service costs like? And would it have to be serviced every 5,000kms to be kept under warranty? Or 10,000kms?
2. As quoted, the insurance is MORE expensive than the WRX for current models. What should I make of this??? I will need to drive the car for everyday use, parking in train station car parks etc; could the MPS become the new "ram and raid" vehicles older WRX's are? How difficult are the MPS's to be stolen? The reality indicates more easily than the WRX.
Thanks for your time and I'm enjoying checking out this forum. Regards.
