#4 of 786 My Blue STi by rickrover Jul 29, 2003 (11:27 am)
I've had my STi for 3 weeks. Only one dealer had any in stock in my area. I worked on them for 2 days and got them down to $1,800 over sticker (from $6,000). My STi had 5 miles on it when I drove it off the lot - I didn't even have them clean it up, it still had the plastic on it. I had it professionally detailed a couple of days later.   I love this car... it's worth every nickel I paid for it.   The dealer experience was great too, no complaints there at all.

What attitude . They robbed you and you are grateful.   Enjoy the car.   Krzys

got them down to $1,800   Errrm... so you still paid a $1,800 markup over MSRP? Perhaps it depends on the area, every New England dealer has at least one sitting on their lot and they're more than happy to let them go at MSRP or even MRSP including a couple options.

Just drove home in my new 2004 WRX wagon for $22,700. All smiles so far.
#8 of 786 Robbed? by rickrover Aug 01, 2003 (8:01 am)
I wouldn't consider $1,800 over MSRP being robbed, not for a car with the capability of the STi. They didn't hold a gun to my head, absolutely no pressure, very professional sales/ management staff - the buying experience was excellent. There are no STi's available in my area and blue/ gold STi's are very hard to find. I didn't feel like waiting for one and the one they had was sitting in the garage with the plastic still on it with 5 miles on the clock - $1,800 over wasn't unreasonable IMO, I was glad to pay it - the STi is awesome.   Cars like the STi are going to bring customers into Subaru dealers that don't think $37.5k (my out the door cost with TTL) for a car is a stretch. I actually feel I saved about $30k buying my STi considering I was shopping M3's and base 911's - two cars the STi will hang with all day at the track - my STi was a screaming bargain.
#9 of 786 rickover - you are the customer dealers are dreaming about ;-) by krzyss Aug 02, 2003 (9:19 am)
For people coming from high end STi is dirt cheap, even with 1800 markup. On the other hand for people upgrading from Focus SVT, Neon (ACR anyone) - lower end - STi is good value but are less likely to accept markup.   Krzys   PS In Polish there is a saying: Point of view depends where one sits.

Plus STi's are scarce in my area, there aren't any available. I felt lucky to get this one. Evo's can be had for $1,000 below MSRP - 3 or 4 sitting on each Mitsubishi dealer's lot around here.   I don't know if Subaru is going to open the pipeline on the STi in the future - now that I have mine I hope they don't of course
#12 of 786 Center Subaur Torrington CT by thegster Aug 18, 2003 (3:05 am)
Went to Chase Parkway in Watertown CT to buy WRX, they refused to take my Grand Cherokee in trade, wouldnt even give me a price. Went right to Center Subaru in Torrington and got Kelly Blue book on Jeep and $2K off WRX. They are the best. When I called Chase to tell them I bought, they got mad at me, said I should have given them a chance. LOL

Yeah, some dealers don't even want cars more than 3-4 years old. They'll just wholesale them out for auction or something.   Still, in this competitive market, they need to work with you. Congrats on the Rex.   -juice
