Impreza RS sign & drive lease? by bluewolf

Considering the RS $189/mo sign & drive lease. Since the money factor, residual value and payment amount are all predetermined, should I worry about negotiating the price of the car up front?
 
Also, as much as I'd like to look at the sport pkg RS or even a basic WRX, the 2.5 RS with $500 dealer cash plus $1000 lease cash is really hard to pass up for a reliable daily driver at a low monthly payment.
 
Coming from a VW Jetta 1.8T, so if anyone can compare the two, I'd appreciate that.

The engine is fairly torquey, so it does its job well even with automatic trannies.
 
0-60 around 7.7s or so last time I looked.
 
Payment sounds good.

Thanks to the WRX I guess, insurance is high on the RS as well... nearly $400/yr higher than my VW turbo. The Forester is lower, and so is the 9-2X.

Get a quote on the Forester XT. Turbo engine without the boy-racer look (or insurance demographic).

STi...which is better?? by fonzomonzo

Hoping to get some opinions on these 2 choices:
 
1. Silver Sti, w/: floormats, upgraded alarm, wheel locks: 33,403> out the door
 
2. Grey STi,w/: short throw, upgraded alarm, wheel locks, floormats: 33,887> otd
 
I live in San Francisco and tax is a murderous 8.5%
 
What would you guys do? Are either of these reasonable considering it's already May?
thanks

You can get an STi shift lever for about $100-120 or so, so I'd pick #1.

Interesting to hear your opinion on the Allroad, A6 by the way, not A4 (unless this is a secret new model?). I recently sold a Cayenne S, and put my wife in an Allroad (2.7T) and find it a superb spacious comfort car, but definitely not a tight handler. In fact that is my criticism of it.
 
Meanwhile, I am contemplating selling our Volkswagen R32 (absolutely fabulous car), and replacing by slightly more practical WRX wagon (bikes on roof, stuff in back). When will the 2.5 WRXs be available?

'05 WRX Lease - Good Deal? by cartfan1
May 18, 2005 (7:08 pm)

One of my buddies from high school works at a local Subaru dealer and he gave me a 48 mo. lease price of about $356/month at 3.75% (.00156 I would assume?) w/1500 down, plus TTL with MT, compass/dimming mirror and spoiler. I told him I didn't need the prem. package. He put me on the corporate pricing where I pay 1.9% over invoice, does this sound like a good deal? After reading some posts, I'm not so sure. I would hope he'd give me a great deal since I know him rather well. He's selling me the car for about $2000 below sticker, am I being a cheap SOB?

poor residual? by ateixeira

The starting price sounds fair, but what residual are they using?
 
Subaru announced a lease for the Tribeca that is under $320 a month, so to me that sounds kinda high.
