I am thinking about purchasing my first wrx (or maybe an sti), but need help with a couple of things. Is the satellite radio/nav package worth it for the wrx? I don't know how good the in dash nav system is for subaru's since I've never owned one and am wondering if it's worth the extra $$ or if I should just go with the evo...
 
Also, I've been quoted $27,800 for a wrx w/the sat radio/nav package, and $34,900 for an sti w/no nav package- is the sti worth the extra $$?

My dealer put in an order for an automatic 4-door WRX 2 months ago. He had trouble getting the order filled last month. Today, he tells me that Subaru is no longer fulfilling orders for this car in automatic due to low demand. Has anyone else heard of this?

No longer offering automatic tranny? That'd be pretty surprising to me. What it could hint at is introduction of the upcoming continuously variable transmission, a change to a 5-spd automatic, or simply the end of the '08 production run. Either transmission change could also debut with the '09 model year.
 
I searched my dealer's usually large inventory... they've got 18 WRX sedans, but only 1 automatic out of the bunch (black, by the way). If you want to buy now, my advice is to ask your dealer quickly to do a dealer trade to get your car.

A high performance CVT is very, very interesting!

Dealership in Scottsdale, AZ is offering $27,225 for 08 WRX w/Navigation & Satellite Radio package + the following options:
 
Sport Trim (Body side molding & sport grille), Auto dimming mirror & compass, Security Shock Sensor, Subwoofer, Center Armrest Extension, & Short Throw Shifter.
 
After TTL & $399 doc fee (Isn't this high for a doc fee??), OTD it would be $30,171. Is this a good deal? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, who knows where they'll implement the CVT... Impreza, WRX, Outback, maybe everything or maybe one or two models. FHI said they were stopping R&D on other types of automatic transmissions to focus on CVT, so I think they're pretty confident this technology will be their future direction. It'll definitely be interesting to see what happens.

Subaru has always been a very conservative company. That being the case, my guess is that it will be a 2-step process. I expect to see CVTs appear first on mainstream 2.5 Subies first. Once they have proven themselves we should expect a HD version for higher-output engines. Again, just a guess on my part.

Make sure it's just a clutch first.
 
Inspect for the common problem areas - wheel bearings and head gaskets.
 
With 200k miles, I would probably have a mechanic do a full inspection, with compression tests for each cylinder.
