If you're patient, you can probably find a '00 s2000 for around 18k. It'll be high mileage and/or a salvage title, so you might just be better off with the wrx. But, deals can be had.

are WRXs high on insurance? Im trying to stay away from 2 door as most insurances consider them sports cars and jack the insurance up.
