When I bought my A4, a stock Wrx was on my shortlist.
The only problem was there were only "Stage 2, Fully built, Shitty body mods" and it was extremely hard to find a clean one with a stock engine, and body. Now, I'm not against these mods, but sometimes it's annoying how many of them there were.
I'd only want the gold Jdm wheels, and a couple other bits and pieces, but no performance stuff. The only reason why I've chosen to do performance mods on my A4 is because it isn't a rarity to find a stock A4.

I've only seen a few of these pop up in the last few years. I'll be looking for a 2007 or 2011, but even then it'll be hard to find a bone stock example

I've had to search long and far to find a completely bone stock Wrx.
There are a couple on the Craigslist, but they are too far to be worth the trouble.
And, I'm planning on toying around with the A4 for another year or so.

I've been looking for an 05 model, exactly like this. I probably won't find a completely stock identical model though. I really wish that people would just leave a car with easily reversible mods.

Cool, Get a used Fcv! Just don't get a K-9 unit. Those smell terrible inside.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Just a performance exhaust, and possibly a K&N intake, and that type of thing. They are already pretty quick to begin with though.

Yeah, a Supercharged would be fairly awesome. But those come at a rather high price. The Fcv in general is a great car, The P71 pack especially.

Yeah, Also check out the 9c1 Caprice from around 1996. They've got the Ls1 engines from the C4 Corvette, plus they look badass. I think that the Roadmaster used that same engine also, except without some Police performance goodies.

Yeah, here's an example of the kind of thing from a little earlier than the Whale Caprice. This one looks nice, except that vinyl interior is a bit on the nope side.

that is pretty nice but I cant even afford that if I am going to get anything it will have 200000+ miles and will have the crap beat out of it

Yeah, Fcv's last for an eternity. I've seen taxis with 300,000+ miles on them, which is a pretty good haul and still running strong.
