I still don't know what to look for when buying a used Subaru WRX.
brooooo thats what I'm saying!!!
Yup, worst title ever.
Smoke Stack Just buy brand new cars where you're the first owner. Trust.
😂
@@zacharysnow9899 He said CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 3 or 4 times. I was in the market for a 2016 WRX, but it wasn't a certified pre owned, so I passed
This video was not helpful at all....
Dope car but totally misleading title. No offense but it Should have been called "showing off my wrx plus going to the gym" didn't hear jack squat about what to look for when buying a used wrx besides buy one that's not modified.
so, what do we need to look for when buying a used wrx again? kthnxbye
Title is misleading. Could have spoken more about the things you look for when buying a used Subaru WRX than talking about your cool gym workout...
I think because the car is "all stock" when you buy it, doesn't guarantee that the previous owner didn't had mods before you. It's pretty easy to put a car back to stock before trade in, unless you are talking internals, bigger turbo, etc. All bolt-ons, reflashs, etc can be removed and stock parts put back on. But anyways, nice ride. Hope you enjoy it.
Grats on the Subie, I also have a my15, wrb color, 6 spd but modded stage 2+. It's night and day from stock to stg 2+, the fun factor is finally there and still retain 25 mpg city and over 30 hwy. BTW, if it has "rally horns", it usually was modded a lot more than just the horns, but w/ that "certification" to back you up (as long as you keep it bone stock) should give you that peace of mind you're looking for. Enjoy!!!
Seen all your videos, love the editing and both whips! Keep it up and I know your channel will get massive!
+LB307 thanks buddy!
I came here for a WRX review and walked away feeling enlightened and motivated. Well done man, subscribed
getting so sick of these dumb long intros in car videos
Then just skip it
New to your channel but I love the intro ! I'm trying to look around to see the best and worst parts for my WRX 😭I wish I got the premium instead of the base
Found your channel from this video! Thanks for the encouragement at the end. I have two WRX video I been too lazy to edit and I'll put them out sooon :)
+C No Lai do it brother. You have nothing to loose!
Love the wrx planning in buying that same year in a manual keep up the good work
hows your fuel mileage im thinking of getting a 2015 wrx sti still reading up on it
Hey jack are the CVT any good or should I just get the manual wagon?
i just subbed and honestly the dmax looks fire and im a dodge fan. just post what u like ill watch anything
worked for a big dealership as a mechanic. and if it passes inspection even with known issues you won't notice until later. it all depends. I'm sure you got a good deal. most are. But dealers want money. that's why I won't work for a dealer. props on your find.
what are your payments on that thing if you dont mind me asking?
thanks for telling me what to look for man, appreciate it
Great vid. Sweet Rex. Awesome vids fan of the Duramax Most definitely subscribing...
How do you know the wrx wasn't wasn't modded and just returned to stock,one of my friends had a white 15 wrx on e85 but he could reverted it back to stock lol
TFW you come for information regarding a car you're looking at purchasing, but the click bait title led you to a vlog.
great vid, hopefully you will never need warranty cause will want to mod the car to Stage 1 at least and even better stage 2 to really enjoy it, the stock tune is just horrible. I have a 15 w 40K on it not an issue and went stage 1 at 4K, since then it has been never ending, most fun vehicle I have ever owned though, probably will eventually move it to summer and get a winter car. keep up the great work:)
Is a rebuild title 2020 wrx base with 30k miles a good deal for $12k in Ca?
I'm much more of a truck guy and subscribed because of your dmax but don't mind a car vid thrown in here and there. I do like the new car through bro, really clean.
My dude! The Duramax Vids have only just begun my friend..
Yea I'm exactly the same. More of a truck guy but I love the new WRX. Keep the vids coming my man.
any mods planned for the WRX? Just went to look at a 2017 WRX today and had to walk away. Dealer informed it was modded but it looked stock from the outside. I popped the hood saw Perrin dress-up, chargepipe, ets intercooler, oil cooler and flex fuel etc. Its safe to say i probably dodged a bullet. The WRX is reliable but dont buy a modded one. You never know how the previous owner used it. For I know it could have been a track car. I clicked this video because Ive been looking for a wrx for awhile
great car! glad you got it. my 15 is CPO also. every mod is painful!!!
Manuals don't have to be "bouncy." Actually, if you do it well it will be more smooth than an automatic... including the WRX (I have a 2016 stage 2+, one of the harder cars to drive smooth I will say but definitely possible).
I post this comment at about 2:00 of your video (haven't seen the rest just yet). I think it is normal if your usual viewers are "truck" fans, they are not as interested in cars even if it's a sports car! Same for me here who has a 2015 WRX limited, if I look at your video right now, I'm certainly not as interested if not at all in "trucks" (no insult intended here) because it is just not my type of vehicule even though I can appreciate a nice one when I see one, just not my cup of tea!
Dope car!
in service date is more important than actual year model of the car. Your 2015 could have been put in service in January or November or anywhere in between in 2015 and that can have an affect on overal miles. A recent 2018 WRX Base w/14k miles I looked at in August 2019 already had really dark tint (not my style) + windshield banner, steering wheel emblem overlays (center and bottom), and black/red "WRX" fender garnish. The car was stock, everything in its place, but the car had odd paint scratches around the rear doors and the interior had all kinds of scratches around the shifter and rough feeling wiper/turn stalks. Plus some of the white lettering on the stalks was already beginning to fade. I guess that is a sign of over detailing. Otherwise the car seemed solid, but I passed as it wasn't CPO and there was no owner history.
I got the exact same car and model and color. I felt like I was watching a video on my car
Very well stated, motivated me to produce more content!
Well I was going to go get a GTR to keep up with you, but if the viewers don't want to see it, I guess I'll put my wallet away! haha Love the vids bro!
Good video man, but where's the part where you address what to look for? Oh! The arrow points to the hood. My STI has a hood so I think I'm good lol.
subbed awesome video hows the intake sound on that can you hear the turbo spooling
She actually produces a decently audible note when spooling... enough if you're listening closely, but not enough for my personal preference!
How much did you pay? You could of picked up a new one for cheap.
Love your videos 👍🏽
I dont know what to think when you said 2015 with 37.000 miles and I have a 2006 stock WRX with 48.000 miles......
Go stage 2! Way more fun. Even a stage 1 cobb ots map is better and way smoother than stock!
6:42 - piece of knowledge peeps, see yall in your future subies
Love the stance on your truck but this wrx is really nice tho
how much did you pay ?
I test drove a subaru once, needless to say we didn't make it back to the dealership.
Un related but Bro what kind of shades are those ?
What were the 'harsh realities?'
Not a truck guy but love the WRX!!!!
+Keith Berry thanks buddy!!
Put the camera on a holder so you can pay more attention to the road
Aw I was soooo close to getting white, but when I seen the black one I was sold
I cared.
Appreciate you.
Does the non Subaru rumble bother you?
+George Parker honestly I'm not phased by it. The increased fuel economy, 6th gear and motor responsiveness off set the lack of rumble
Hypes the 6th gear, drives in 5th for fuel economy......
Ephrata pa. You like around there lol so do I. Huge fan man keep up the good work
blessings great video and enjoy your suba wrx
Great car and subbed
That is definitely not 15% tint. Limo black is usually 5% and you cant see through it. 20% is really dark and will get you pulled over easily, but the tint thats on your car looks to be around 50% and most likely legal.
Chris the windows were down look at his previous video, its pretty dark
Ok, they are pretty dark. I was going to say, you cant even see through 15% tint. I wouldnt go any darker than 35%, because it will just give cops a reason to pull you over
Chris even 35 % all around might get u pulled over, especially if u use black. Semi reflective allows u to go darker bc it allows a bit of see thru. 50 % up front and 35 everywhere else can squeeze by looking semi legal on a sunny day but will look questionable if overcast. From the comments it seems that we're all kind of tint fans. I wish the wrx had kept frameless wondows.
Still looking for one :(
Subscribers growing fast af lol.... only a few vids too 😂 I want to get more into automotive content and daily Vlogging... it tough growing an outdoors channel haha
Its wich ever come first bro! Exemple most new car come with 3 years/36000 miles bumper to bumper warranty,say before 3 years yo go over 36000miles Warranty is over! The only car i know that hav sort of unlimited miles with 5 years is Lamborghini.
The Subaru WRX premium is what I am buying but the covid prices made these used cars high in price
I'm not to much for the duramax (it is a nice engine and overall truck, but I'm just more of a car guy), i did however sub out of respect for you. good vlog.
one suggestion though. you could look into getting a window mount phone holder. then you could switch between car and truck no problem.
i bought a certified preowned 2010 wrx. it spent like months in the shop right after i bought it. blew the front diff, cracked 1st and 2nd gear, broken firewall, etc, etc, etc. all done under warranty. then i dumped 4k into the motor and voided any warranty. all within 8 months of owning it lol.
HA! Thanks for sharing... Doing my best to avoid that itch. The Duramax does a good job at keeping me at bay.
ragalyisp Well done.
Damn... Def a lemon. Hope that shit doesn't happen to me since I'm currently car shopping right now..
FashionOutLook thus the importance of certified preowned. its not a lemon until it takes multiple tries to fix the same thing.
FashionOutLook in other words deeming it unrepairable
welcome to the subie club
Found your channel by chance. Love trucks and Subie's! We have a '07 3500 Dodge Ram it's a awesome truck that will pull a house over a 10,000 foot summit and beg for more. But the love of my life, besides my husband, is my 06 WRX STi! When Joe brought it home back in '06 I thought he had lost his mind! He started telling me about how great this ugly little rice rocket with a park bench on it's ass was. I wasn't convinced and wanted no part of this ugly little car. I didn't want to drive it or even be a passenger. I kept asking over and over "What is this thing?" I had never seen any advertising about it. But most importantly I didn't want any of my friends to see me in it! This wasn't a muscle car and it certainly wasn't a race car!!!! Then a couple weeks later Joe had barrowed my truck and I was forced to take the Subie. OMG!!! I took that first corner and knew I was driving something very special. I gave it a little gas to merge onto the freeway and looked down and saw that I was going 92 mph!!! I couldn't believe it! I have had a variety of cars from VW's to a '72 Z28, several Mustangs and a couple awesome Vets. And in one corner and less than a mile this ugly little car had stolen my heart! I couldn't believe it. I love driving and I take it very seriously. This ugly little car made driving fun! Eleven years later and I am still having too much fun. It has never failed me and it has done everything that I have asked of it. Because of its ability to move and mannuver so rapidly it has save my bacon from some of these idiots driving blindly as if they are the only one on the road. My husband had a company car, a Ford Tarus, which the company desided to discontinue the use of the company cars and go back to a car allowance. So being a the analyst that he is after months of research this is what he brought home. We also at the time had a '97 2500 Dodge Ram. About a year and a half later Joe needed a truck for work and asked me to trade vehicles with him. I said sure and every once in a while I even let him drive it. So to answer your questions on why know one seemed interested in your video I believe because until you get behind the wheel it's just not even a blip on most people's radar. Most of my friends to this day still ask "What Is it?" And when I have let people drive it they come back and they are wowed!! "Boy that little thing is fast! Yes it is! I still think that it's ulgy but what a personality!!! And she sure can cook!!Rory Mcknight
i prefer 5 speed and bespoke gearing.
I'm looking at a 2017 premium with 83k miles, I'm concerned
Why does it have base rims on the premium model?
Because its a 2015. Even the Limited model had the 17 inch wheels. It wasn't until 2016 when the 18's were put on the car in the premium/limited model.
R N Ohh that makes sense
Bro you gonna tell us what to look for or nah? I want my 8:47 back
What kind of music is this? It breaks my heart....
Very nice!
You dont have alot of miles i bought mine brand new in Jan 2016 now i have 48000+
I care alot, i love subarus +Durtymax Jack
you do you.
i remember i was once an owner of a 15 wrx.. i was all excited when i got it back in nov 2014... kept stock for a year, then with 5k miles, i went stage 2+. with 18k miles and 2 years of owing.. got rid of it, best decision ever. i have 2 other imprezas.. i have the gc8, and a built 2005 sti. anyways, got the 15 cause the new fa20dit, assuming new engine, new everything.. nope, same subaru problems. get rid of it... lol
sorry, forgot to mention, i ended up with a hard engine code, which was cam sensor related. i took the code off, traded it for another car, dealership sold it with warranty... wow.. felt bad for whoever bought it
lol. tru tru
Never seen someone say a whole bunch of nothing for 8:47 straight
How was the title even relatable to anything in the content of this video?
Alot more then 2000 people now lol
Nice Honda
Did I miss something? I know more about you going to workout (like that's needed information) than what to look for when buying a used WRX.
Yeah, was odd I enjoyed the video got to the end and was like shit, what am I supposed to be looking for when buying a used WRX haha
The moment you mod it, dealership is gonna deny warranty and blame it on the mods if you have issues.
neuspeed79 not true. My 3rd gear blew out and no questions were asked with my stage 1+ WRX. Fixed it for free
Stock and your pushing almost 23lbs?
Miclo the boost gauge reads different numbers here and there on highway wot I have hit 22 lbs not sure if this is accurate.
Stock turbo on the wrx usually hits 16, its just reading overboost
Thinking of trading in my car for one
So what the fook do i look 4 when buying a used wrx?!
Everyone likes the speed3 and know one cares about the Focus st. Even know there about the Same thing lol
Bro how tf are you averaging 33 mph lol I'm lucky to hit 23 and that's mostly highway and babying it! Lol 😩
Dominick Carney I'm averaging right around 30mpg's, as long as I don't have my general arctics on and running winter blend gas, also 91 octane is hard for me to find in quality gas stations, so I only go to BP or Shell and use 93 octane. Also helps to not slow down for curves!!!
I mainly use 92 octane as 93 is hard to find over here. And I literally cruise control whenever I hop on a free way, and hold that clutch in whenever down hill etc. I try so hard to get to 25+ mpg but can never get there 😩
So your recommending winter blend gas, 93 octane and not running general arctics?
I'll read up on what winter blend gas is but what are general arctics? Tires?
Thx bro!
Dominick Carney no, winter blend is terrible for gas and so is winter tires. I get the best gas mileage when I use my factory dunlops and summer gas
Dominick Carney coast in gear, not with the clutch in. This uses zero gas. Also it's better practice anyway in case you need throttle for some situation on the road.
you didn’t mention one thing to look for lmao
Sweet, another video about absolutely nothing! Great work!
Intro too long bro
Christ, I can't believe your getting such great fuel economy. My 2016 STI literally eats gas, it's not cool, I have to fill up two to three times a week with 93 oct. For reference, my dad has a Bronco that he fills up less often then I fill up my STI, a turbo 4 Cylinder should never be more of a gas guzzler than a truck. I'm considering selling the car already and maybe hopping in a WRX or Golf R instead.
+thefives7ar I absolutely love this thing. It's got the power, responsiveness, comfort and fuel economy which make it one HELL of a daily driver. 180 miles a week for the commute and I only use about half a tank ... stop and go
Big difference engine-wise between a WRX and an STI...
Yea I know that but I wasn't expecting my dads 1996 Ford Bronco to be similar in gas consumption to a 4 cylinder sedan based off an econobox.
How big is the gas tank on your dad's bronco? That could explain why it appears to have better fuel economy.
Ahh your a smart man lol I'll have to look into it but I have a feeling that is my answer.
Will never get that 8 mins of my life back. There was zero info in this video.
Check the gas mileage and peak psi that will tell you how hard it has been driven.
I’m getting 21 mpg rn cause I drive like a dick😂
you wanna get big on youtube? Build the Wrx and the duramax more. exactly what streetspeed has done.
What to look for? A second and possibly third job to keep up with amount of money it will take to fix the previous owners beating on the car. Another words, buy a new one.
Get a stabilizer bro! LOL
37,000 miles is not high mileage for any vehicle....
You got chumped.
7 years later and it didn’t help me thx
Nah fuck that. I care more about your WRX than your Duramax. But that's me... I own an 18 WRX myself.
How long is the intro shit
