Then perhaps it is more economical for you to do long term rental (e.g. 1 yr). This way, you can change car every year with lower depreciation.

 

I'm not sure if you are talking about the base model (2.5L) or the STi version. For the base model, unless you intend to change the piston, else bring up the horsepower significantly reduce the life of your piston. To upgrade the horsepower, there are couple of other things that you've got to upgrade the other parts (e.g. intercooler, radiator, brake system, suspension - ard $15k) and this are the most basic to begin with.

 

Most Evo/ WRX owners I know spend between $30k to $50k on mods on the average.

 

Btw, below is some cost info:

 

Insurance : S$220 per month

Petrol : S$500 per month

Road Tax : $165 per month

6 oil changes per year at $150 per oil change : S$75 per month

Change gear oil, diff oil every 20k km at $350 per change: S$60 per month

Tyres (Estimating at $1,200 for 4 pcs) :S$100 per month.

Change DOT5.1 brake fluid twice a year : S$25 per month

Monthly installment : S$800 per month

 

Total Monthly Cost of Ownership : S$1,945 per month

 

Does not include any parking, ERP, mods, replacement of other wear and tear parts, nor accelerated wear and tear caused by track.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Cheers

My usual advise, make sure you are not paying through your nose.

[adzz400]

looking at it..im not spendin much on mthly fuel,rd tax,installment.just dont wanna get sian of drivin a wrx.which i think i wont la.my wife will kill me if i say im sian so..to maintain a wrx with no mods at all(factory stock)is it a gd buy or not?ok to maintain?

[jia_yvon]

then wat for get a opc wrx... is a waste of money..

 

wont feel sianz is now u speak, lets say u drive 4-6 yrs down the road, u dare to say u wont feel sianz about it ?

 

if u wan wrx, get a normal plate

 

if u wan opc, get a cheap opc car.

[jia_yvon]

FYI, my fren's fren was driving a OPC wrx, monthly installment around 600, sum more he stupid, everyday tear coupon go work, everyday $20 x 30 days, 1 month extra 600, plus petrol money, road tax, insurance, parking, 1 month over 2k.. he drive 5 months onli, buay ta han wan sell liao.. lose over 10k.. LOL.. i feel happy for him man.. 27 yrs old liao still duno how to use calculator n calculate..

Hmm.. irregardless of what car you drive, you will still get tired of it after awhile. For these type of high performance car, I actually derieved the pleasure from modding it and this helps to sustain my interest in the car.

 

Just think of this, you will never get sian of money growing in your bank if you stick to your current car. You will get even more sian if the money in your bank keeps depleting.

[jia_yvon]

i get very sianz to see the money in my bank.. i feel like using it to invest in order to earn more !! haha..

 

but my principle is... if u need it, how ex also have to buy. but if u dun need it, u gif mi free i also feel extra..

[adzz400]

just getting the shiok of a turbo charge car during weekdays.is it ok to maintane the wrx?i wont b tearing coupons on normal days 4 sure.even if im late,il take cab oni 6-7dollars.tats y i need ppl who drive it to tell me.gd or no gd?

Number of oil changes largely depends on driver's usage. For a track session, it is better to change the oil before and after. Else, it will be either 5,000km or once every 3 months, whichever comes first.

 

I'd say the 2L version is a safer bet. Also, one pay lesser road tax for it.

 

Unless it is your 2nd car and driving purely for fun, you will be better off with a normal plated Japanese car.
