True, but what about the $20k budget??
I personally prefer the $20k budget. Sure more goes wrong and you have to maintain them, but if you DIY it is not too expensive, and if you do have a bad off, you are not losing $50k. I could reshell my WRX (get new shell and transfer everything to new shell) for around $2-3k and a weekend of work. Old WRXs are available for <$5k fully running and registered. Get one with a block engine/box for a $2-3k and sell leftovers and you may be ahead. Early WRXs are common compared to EVOs/M3s etc. so getting body parts is relatively easy. A friend of mine reshelled a WRX after an off at Wakefield about a year ago, and pretty much broke even.
