:plac:

$13,000. It's a 2016 with 6000 miles on it with auto climate, heated seats, and bluetooth/xm. My insurance is $200 a month with lots of coverage, I've gotten a couple of speeding tickets in the last 2 years and used my insurance to fix some paint damage a year ago, so my rates have gone up a little compared to in the past. The WRX cost $100 more a month with equal coverage. I'm 28, male, unmarried, blah blah.

I haven't driven it enough to have a feel for mileage, but my 2012 averaged around 28 mpg with lots of city driving and full throttle.

$29,000 with 8000 miles on it, I can't say that I'm sorry to see it go. It was fast, but the power wasn't usable without hitting go to jail speeds, I can rip through three gears up to redline in the Abarf without breaking the law, plus it sounds great. The handling is so immediate, there's a stark difference between the two cars though the WRX soaks up bumps MUCH better, you feel every bump and imperfection in the Abarth.

My GF still has her Renegade. I'll be keeping an eye out for a Wrangler for ~$20k or maybe a truck, but clean trucks are expensive with 4x4 and can't trail ride as well.

There seem to be a good amount of them around here, the Fiat diller that I bought it from was busy, I had to wait in line for finance.
