Replying to: dsilver668 (Nov 06, 2004 9:39 am) Do read the manual. Basically, keep it under 4k RPMs, don't brake extremely hard (unless you have to), don't maintain the same speed. It's all in there. -Brian |

| As the owner (and lover) of 2 Subarus, I was ecstatic to receive SOA's trade-in offer in my mail. For my 2003 WRX it was something like $16,500 on a 2005. I called several dealerships to see how much they were, and was quoted prices down to as $22,000--one even lower. I said yes, I'll take it and trade in mine per the SOA offer. Well, all bets were off right then. From that moment, the price went up to LIST, AND, my tradein had even LESS value than the guaranteed offer! What a disappointment, and what poor, shoddy sales Subaru still has. It's like dealing with a USED car dealer in the '50s; maybe worse. So, all you who think SOA is really making headway becoming a 1st class marque, think again. It's still the same old dealers, and unfortunately the same old national. | |

Has anyone recently purchased an 05 STI in the Southeast Michigan area? I'm test driving one today and wonder if they are going for under MSRP or not. Edmunds.com indicates that pricing is pretty much at MSRP. Thanx in advance for the response. Steve 04 Forester XT auto 95 modified Impala SS |

Take a deep breath, you can't visit one dealer and conclude all 600+ are the same. They aren't. Each one is independently owned. Try this - go to a no-haggle dealer like fitzmall in MD or Van Bortel in NY. Prices are fixed up front. Then see what trade-in price they offer for you. In fairness if you offer invoice for your new car, they should offer wholesale on your trade-in. Apples to apples. And if you offer MSRP on the new car, they should offer full retail list on the trade. Apples to apples again. But...as a consumer, what you want is the lowest price on the new car with the highest value for you trade. Not apples to apples.  Hey, I'm the same way, I'll admit it. So try to work the no-haggle angle to your advantage. You get a fair price, if not the lowest, and see what they offer you in trade. Don't expect miracles, though. A dealer will go bankrupt selling you cars for invoice and giving you retail blue book for your trade. -juice
