Replying to: Scarren (Jan 19, 2009 7:01 am) I read an article about Subaru saying that they are the sole car manufacturer not to post a loss for 08', this was bad news for me as I thought like every other car company they might start offering discounts. Sounds like they are not budging with the 09 Premiuim 2.5i 5 dr but I have seen a significanct number of 08 Imprezas in dealer inventory. Anyone purchase an 08 for a great price this month? |

I do REALLY like the looks of the Impreza 5 door but the Legacy is just way more car for the same money. The Special Edition Legacy's have an automatic sticker adjustment that subtracts $1750 off MSRP. I got a quote on a Legacy SE, original MSRP was $24,540, adjusted to $22,790, sale price is $19,625. You can't beat those standard features on a car that sells for well under $20K. |

Replying to: walletclan (Jan 07, 2009 7:35 am) It's a World Rally Blue Mica. I was happy to get that since Edmund's true market value had WRB as +$100 while the red was -$67. Seems like the other colors were around +/- $0-$10. I babied it during break-in, and now that's over... and wow... I'm impressed. As a guy with autocross and track experience, I enjoy having the goodies like SI-drive and DCCD that the 265hp 2009 WRX doesn't have. I used the higher hp WRX to my advantage in my negotiations saying "you're going to have a hard time selling 08 STI's sitting next to that 09 WRX"; however, the dealer in MA came out with a great price out the door and I didn't negotiate any. |

I flogged it hard - at the behest of the salesman - and he took me on some great roads. Wow. Impressed on this drive. I still think a 3 has a bit more smoothness but for fun and utility that 09 WRX seems like a great deal. Anyone know the residuals/money factor on 09 WRX leases?

Replying to: rsholland (Feb 18, 2009 11:00 am) I'm sure I'd like the way the 1 series drove but I just think it looks awkward, dorky even. It's too short and stubby. The convertible looks a bit better but doesn't have a real back seat, so I'd pick a roadster over one of those anyway. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 18, 2009 10:56 am) Still I wouldn't want to pay more than about $350 a month for it on a lease ($0 down). My wife actually told me last night that she'd prefer no on the WRX as it lacks dark leather or leatherette. But she said I can get it if I want, she just thinks the cloth is gonna get torn/stained/abused in ways leather will survive. My one big gripe with the WRX would be the archaic 5 speed and lack of a freeway cruising gear. Otherwise, it seemed like a fine car for day to day use. Nothing fancy but certainly fun enough to get me by until the little one is in a booster seat. Her vote is still firmly in the 3 series camp. The new BMW incentives will probably appear tomorrow or Friday, so I may decide this weekend. |
