Mike Kentes, the service manager at Beyer Subaru in Alexandria today told me he bought an 08 rex. He currently has a newish (don't know the year) model VW GTI, with a supercharged VR6 which he says makes 400hp. I know he's had it for a while (at least the three years or so we've been going there), and he likes the car a lot.
I don't know what he wants for it, but I think you can assume it's been well taken care of, and that he's probably correct about the power (because he's got his ASEs and stuff).
I told him I'd pass the word on. It's an FF, but it's an interesting one, and I know some of you are or know VW fans. My personal opinion is the VR6 is a great motor, and the turbocharged ones are absolute beasts. I haven't seen one of the supercharged ones.
The reason he's selling is he wanted a car that handles better, and I think he was just ready for something new and shiny. You can bet he will be back-fitting the STI stuff onto his rex.
If you're interested, just call Don Beyer and ask for Mike Kentes in service.

I've met Mike a couple of times and talked to him. He definitely knows his stuff and I'm sur the car is in good shape.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
