Question So I'm Thinking About Buying a 2009 Ralliart

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forums and have read a lot of your posts. I appreciate all of the helpful information I have gathered over the past few weeks of reading at work.

I'm debating purchasing the Ralliart on the link below. It has pretty high mileage (~47k) and the price seems to be a little high. I know it has aftermarket rims and tires. I believe those are the only "modifications" to the vehicle, per a conversation with the dealer. I'll be test driving this weekend and hopefully OTD for much less than the list price.

After reading various posts on the forum, it does seem high. I just wanted your opinions on the vehicle.

Thanks in advance!

When you test drive pay close attention to how the SST shifts. If it slips in any gear other than 1st, run away. Fast!

Does the price seem rather high, or is it just me?

I had a friend buy a used 2010 Ralliart a year ago for almost as much as it's listed. Not sure if he got a really good deal or if I'm too naive to see that this car is overpriced.

If its Highway miles then its fine but the overpriced tag for a used one is too high.

I would never buy a ralli art, I own a evo. And if I was tight on money I'd purchase and 2010 or 2011 subaru WRX instead in a heart beat.

I'm happy for you that you have the funds and financial stability to own an Evo and have the option to purchase a WRX. Both cars are outside of my price point, thus why I'm looking at RA's. I personally think that they're awesome cars.

Now back to the point, is this used RA over priced? At what price do you think I can be OTD with the car?

I own an Evo, and I loved my RA.

If you don't mind me asking, what year was it and was it a sportback or sedan?

How do you guys feel about the orange?
