Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 24, 2005 6:45 am) I went to a dealership and found a new "demo" car for sale at a $4,000 discount. Is buying a "demo" car a good idea? Dealerships are always trying to unload "demonstrators" ("demos") -- cars that were driven by the managers or salesmen but are still legally new. The car salesman may tell you that the "demonstrator" has been immaculately maintained since it was driven by an "executive." He may also assure you that you can get a far better deal on this car than you would get on a brand new car. Don't believe it. While a discount of $4,000 may seem generous at first glance, my experience tells me that the selling price of a "demonstrator" car is often not much less than if you bought the same car brand new. And if you take into account the fact that there is considerable mileage on this "new" car (which gets subtracted from the mileage allotment of your Factory Warranty) and the fact that "demonstrator" cars often receive lots of abusive wear and tear that may not be noticeable at first glance, the "demo" suddenly doesn't seem so attractive. Best Advice: avoid any offers to buy a "demo." I was just curious if anyone on this board has heard good or horror demo stories. In addition, since you mentioned a Forrester, a Subaru salesman told me the other day that this car is compared to the Civic. I don't get this idea. |

Well, it's not like it's an STI, which would have been driven real hard, or even a Legacy GT for that matter. So any "abuse" is less likely with an SE model. -juice |

Hi All, Somebody wants to buy my car and they need to pick it up now because they are moving out-of-state. This means i need a new car asap and i've been eyeing the 06 Sti. I looked up the TMV and it looks like everybody's paying $33,620 MSRP  Has anybody bought one that is priced lower than that? Btw, invoice price is $31,394. Thanks!

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 17, 2005 7:59 am) I just use the Trip B odometer. I reset it after I change the oil. I use the Trip A for gas mileage calculation. I just hit the trip button whenever I want to check how long it's been

I forget in what year they added that, but my '98 doesn't have it. My wife's '02 does, though. -juice |

Hello All. I am trying to buy a new 2005 WRX Wagon five speed. It is one of the last three left on the dealer lot. Dealer's advertised price is $21,999 before taxes and fees. Car has no options other than the security system upgrade and auto-dimming mirrors with compass. MSRP is about $25,550. Is this a good price? It's about $3500 off the sticker with the $1500 incentive/rebate included, but I think that they could do much better...

Replying to: raybear (Nov 03, 2005 2:46 pm) I don't think it really matters if this dealer is losing money on that car... If the car won't sell at that price, then they will have to lower it... or keep it for a lovely trophy.. Once the '06 models come out, that car is depreciating on their lot, the same as it would in someone's driveway.. It is a decent price, but nothing that hasn't been available for the last few months... regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums
