Mark,
 
As for the actual deal on the car, there are numerous reasons for selling at that price; and they're probably all economics: 1) The new models are out with a totally different engine and look; 2) The car has been on the lot for 7 months+/-; 3) In the past, dealers actually financed their inventory, and after a certain time period, 60-90 days, they started paying more interest on those loans.
 
As you can see, it's in the dealer's best interest to move that car ASAP.

My WRX deal is officially done. Kaput. Fini.
 
The car seats don't fit.
 
Oh man, this sucks.
 
I only need 2 more inches of legroom to make it fit... can't they just add 2 inches to the car? How difficult could that possibly be?
 
So I admintted that it didn't fit. Now I have to look for something else. I can't believe it. They even let me take it home to make sure.... course they do have my deposit...
 
I even thought about buying new car seats...
 
AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Four years waiting... and now...
 
 
 
Mark
 
I'm still in mourning...

Mark, what about a Legacy GT? Yeah, it's more expensive, but the car seats should fit, and it's still a hoot to drive.
 
You could get a great deal on a leftover '05 model if you hurry.

See if you can modify the seat track itself.
 
At least one Outback owner was able to remove a detent and get the seat to move back an extra inch or two. That may have been only for power seats, but it's worth a look.
 
On my Miata, I put washers as spacers to raise the front of the seat track. I had to get longer bolts, too, but it fit, and gives me a little thigh support. The bent knee creates more room, too.
 
Just some ideas.

OK I have a 2003 WRX that I just picked up 2 days ago, how old are your kids? I have a 2 year old and her car seat fit in that just fine. Granted I just got a booster because she is the right size for it and it gave her some more leg room, my wife LOVES this car, too bad I am heading back to Iraq for a few months, but I know what I have to look forward to when we get back. Instead of soldiers not wanting to ride in SGT. Pitman's (that is me) little truck, now they will find reasons for me to drive them, and I will be more then happy to. Granted now I think that they have made the rear a little smaller, and it is tight in the 2003, try looking for a used one if you need a little more room, these cars are GREAT!!!!

1st Oil Change by tinycadon

I was looking through my owners manual for the 2006 impreza 2.5i and it says that oil changes are every 7 1/2 months or 7,500 miles (depending on easy/hard driving habits). Can this be right, 7,500 miles for your first oil change?

If you are on the Schedule B. Make sure you read the fine print, most people should be on Schedule A, 3750 mile intervals.
 
Hard to keep track of, I know. Get those windshield stickers from your local auto supply place. I get them from Advance Auto Parts since I buy my oil there usually.
