Another SoCal WRX purchase by holisticnurse

We went to Bob Baker (8-26) in Carlsbad for a base WRX sedan, and after shopping around & talking to 6 dealerships seriously, the best deal I could get was 22618 (with iPod/cargo tray/auto dimming mirror w/compass) before TT&L. We also did the 0% and no trade. Wasn't that excited about our salesman-the fellow I dealt with 99% of the time left just after we arrived to test drive & the co-salesman was kind of shifty. When it came time to do the deal, #2 tried to weasel out of what I had already negotiated with salesman #1. Although I did absolutely insist on a specific color (blue) and I'm sure if I would've been more flexible on the color I would've gotten a better deal. We also got a bunch of aftermarket parts (ie: exhaust, fog light package, grille/body side molding, amp/sub, etc) and the prices they charged were significantly different than those listed on Edmunds & CarsDirect. The salesman showed me their price list so I know I wasn't getting hosed. That might be more helpful to have a more accurate price list available.
We love the car & are very happy with our decision. We're still awaiting our complete install of aftermarket parts which should take another 1-2 weeks.
Cheers~

Maybe this will make you feel better - I was reading a review of the Audi Q5 and the sticker was over $49 grand.
 
Yikes.
 
And it didn't even have every option. You could easily break $50k!

NADA says the invoice on a base STI is just over 33k. So yeah, no way would I pay more than that. Not in this market. Any dealer that has the misfortune of having to sell an STI should be happy to get invoice.
 
I'd offer 10 percent under invoice just to see what they say.

Impreza Outback Sport Price by signalk

I received a price 8/31 ('only good for today") of $17,995 from a dealer in NJ for an Impreza Outback Sport M/T. This is one of the few '09's M/T left in the NY area, so there isn't much of a choice as far as color. I thought it was a great price until they added $299 admin fee and another $356 for NJ plates which we had to pay even though we are in NY (??). They said we would get back the difference once the registration went through. I didn't pursue it b/c we are not in any hurry. I figure now is not the time to buy because of limited inventory due to the clunkers rebates; in a month or so when the car dealers are sitting around with 2010 inventory on their hands we'll have more of a choice and probably more negotiating power. Plus what I really want is a base 5 dr M/T. FYI.

I'd wait, for sure. More selection, it's not the model you want, prices will drop. You have no real reason to rush the purchase.

Admin fee? NJ plate fee?
What nonsense! Don't pay it!

Bought 2009 WRX hatch (5 door in SoCal) Oct 09 by andrewinla2
Nov 04, 2009 (11:03 pm)

Bought a 2009 Premium hatchback early in Oct 09 at Puente Hils Subaru.
Car had 18" rims and STI lip spoiler with some SPT add ons that made the car sticker for over $30K.
 
I negotiated based on the $28K sticker before the add-ons.
got the car for $25 +TTL.
 
Its not bad car and now that I have over 1K miles can get into the powerband.
The car has power but leans heavily..this is a 2009 so the 2008 must lean more in turns.
Its a nice looking car but Im over 35 and many ask me about my boy racer car.
 
Complaints are small but in order of significance:
Lots of road noise, but it may be the 18" wheel/tire combo.
 
Cheap plastics used for door skins and dash parts.
I could have had a GTI for less and the interior is so much classier and upscale.
 
A bit vague shifter.
 
MPG of 20 is not great but it does have high horsepower & you dont buy this car for MPG.
 
It is economy car body with high output engine so its deceiving.
 
Good things:
Smooth ride
Roomy
Hatch design with 4 doors is all the utility I need. Why buy a SUV?
Reliability...?hoping.
