Car Info: 2004 PSM Impreza WRX
I'm not sure about the STI, but I just recently got my 04 WRX (sept) at Irvine Subaru, right off the 5Fwy. I emailed them about an internet price and the sales rep gave me the car for Invoice. $23,1xx. The next day, I went down there and bought it. It was a base model of course, no extra options. Nothing.

I purchased it from Jeremy Dugan. It's a family owned dealer and Jeremy is the son of the owners. Ask for him, he's a really cool guy and though he may look young and all, he'll hook it up. Plus, they've got the largest selection of WRX/STi for miles. I've looked around and nobody really compared to them as far as cars in stock.

Hope this helps!

you might get better results in the local forum as far as the place to buy.

When I was looking to buy my WRX I was told that Irvine had some of the best prices.

Check out edmunds.com True Market Value indicator. It will give you and idea of invoice and cost of the vehicle in YOUR area. It also shows what other people are paying in your area for the same car.

They've never heard of me so referring wouldn't do any good

Another thumbs up for Irvine Subaru. I dealt with Desiree (Jemery's mom?). Contact them via e-mail. It sure beats haggling.

Make sure you save some $ for beefing up that tranny. Adding some extra HP to the engine will be nice, but it'll destroy the stock WRX tranny. At least that seems to be the word on various forums.

You sure about the 6k-8k mile rating for the Potenza RE070s? I thought they are supposed to be good for 15k-20k.

I wish I could talk myself into the WRX... I'd save a ton of $ and I won't have such a huge wing on the back, but the STi is too sweet...
