#310 of 786 wheel alignment problems/STi by nohitterhood Feb 20, 2006 (11:40 am)
I'm just curious if I am the only STi owner who has problems with knocking the beast out of alignment just driving at normal speeds on the "WONDERFUL" HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA..... I'm sure tired of it, as then it wants to "nibble", wander about following the uneven road surfaces... Aside for that, it is a wonderful piece of machinery.. For what it is I consider my 25 mpg at 80-85 and 19-20 around town, short shifting a lot to be quite good... It certainly makes this old man feel much younger...Quite a fountain of youth... I'm about to get really upset with Subaru if I'm the only one who has this happen...If it is happening to others, then there will be many more STi'owners who are complaining.. Please respond Replies to this message: shrink2 (Feb 21, 2006 10:10 am) byronwalter (Feb 23, 2006 1:46 pm)

Replying to: nohitterhood (Feb 20, 2006 11:40 am) I've had a similar experience with the wheels wanting to follow ridges in the roads etc. Some of the highways around Sactown are brutal. I only have a little over 1K miles on it (break in OVER!!), so I haven't been in to check the alignment, but haven't felt anything on smooth roads to make me worry. I remember that my Acura would need adjusting once in awhile during a service, and that was for all 4 wheels, so I don't know if its an issue with more complicated alignment set-ups. Great car though. Still working on shifting smoother.

#313 of 786 What about us boring customers? by bamaflum Feb 24, 2006 (11:13 am)
I will be in the market for a 2.5i. What should I expect from dealers in discussing price of 2.5i? I have checked our local dealer (Austin and Houston as well) and they have few 2.5i's with some 2.5rs's left over from last year. It doesn't seem like they sell well here compared to up north. Should I expect a great deal or paying MSRP?   Thanks!
#314 of 786 CDN vs USD Pricing by richmtl2 Feb 24, 2006 (5:38 pm)
I did some comparatives on pricing, and either the US is getting great deals on most models or Canadians are taking it up the ... ever since the dollar has climbed.   Subaru is the worse with 20% premium on the WRX and Honda has a 13% additional markup on an SI with Aero and 18" wheels.   At Audi Canadians pay a 14% premium for 4WD compared to an 8% premium for 2WD   Generally speaking across the Toyota lineup we're paying between 10% and 20% more than the US after factoring in the current exchange rate.   The new VW GTI gap starts at 14% for the base but when you add some extras it drops to 7%   Given the free trade laws I think it's at the point where it might cost less to import the car from the US rather than buying at a Canadian dealership.   PS - don't give me the line about supply and demand. This is the corporate machine exploiting the under informed consumer.

Replying to: shrink2 (Jan 27, 2006 8:36 pm) You must be pumped. I am starting to get dealer quotes for an 06 sti (going high maintenance black) Ideally with fog lamp, short throw, autodimming/compass, boost guage, security shock sensor and destination MSRP is $35,082. Invoice is $32,665. What is resonable? My primary dealer I have been going to is of course telling me they don't get allot of the STI's and they move fast (I would expect him to tell me that).   What are they really getting? How did you do? Replies to this message: raybear (Mar 15, 2006 7:48 pm) wilky1066 (Mar 17, 2006 1:34 am)

Replying to: fisherboy (Mar 15, 2006 6:29 pm) Most dealers really don't get many STi's. I think it would be a fair deal to get invoice on an ordered vehicle but expect to pay more for dealer-installed options. Replies to this message: wilky1066 (Mar 17, 2006 1:34 am)

Replying to: raybear (Mar 15, 2006 7:48 pm) Well i also bought mine in Waipahu, and got about the same deal, less neg equity from a trade in. They have many here in Hawaii and if you were going to buy it outright with a check from your bank you can get anywhere from 300-500 off MSRP whick is awsome considering the 5000 markup in Hawaii. I dont think they anticipated the lack of buyers in that part of the Island since it is virtually a run down part of town. Not to many that could afford a STI wander around there, so a good deal can be had here in Hawaii. Good people there and awsome customer service.
