Should I wait till Sept. when the 05's supposedly go on clearance? Is the price difference really that much different? What should I know about buying? I'm planning on going to Carlsen Subaru since thats the closest (besides the dreaded Steven's Creek) with a lot of good experiences.

I would wait, unless you have a specific color and trim you want. If you aren't super picky, you'll probably get a great deal.

Carlsen will do you alright. Wait if youre looking to get an '05. You should be able to save about 3,000 on a closeout. Especially with the "new look" showing up on the lots. SOA will want to clear out the old and in with the new.

Yeah, go to either Santa Cruz Subaru or Carlsen in Redwood City. I bought mine from Ron Price, and they did alright! I got OTD $24100!

The Sales team there is awesome. I would suggest their newest sales rep though, Bruce. He came from the service department there and always took care of my car very well, and got me a minor service for free.

I got my '05 from Stevens Creek subaru "internet dept." and got the car for ~22K back in November of '04. Get a quote online from a dealership, then call them and ask about splitting up the other fees, i.e. advertisement, manuf. rebate to dealer, etc, etc.

If I was shopping for a WRX, I would definitely go with '03-'05 year. I do not like the styling of the '06 year car.
