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. | |

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. |

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 |

| 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 |

A friend bought a silver STi from the same dealer I did and paid $1k over MSRP. They got 2 in on Friday, he worked on them all weekend to get them down to $1k over. Both STi's were sold over the weekend - one silver, one black. I've heard blue ones are hard to come by. Still totally satisfied with mine - just hit 1,700 miles. |
