]Hey, MOT..
When dealing with a salesperson, go to the person everyone is recommending most, then spend a LOT of time talking to that person but do not buy anything then.
After you do this come back about 3-5 days later and then say you are giving it a second look. The salesperson has already wasted a BUNCH of time on you so they want something to come out of it, even if they can seal a bad deal for them they will gor for it, this works VERY well, i am related to very many car sales people and this is one of many techniques that works most of the time, give it a try. Save some money and mod ur car!!!

Also bought my WRX wagon from Larry Fung @ Carlsen. Nothing but good things to say about the experience. Larry will give you a good deal without the BS haggling. Could I have gotten a better deal by shopping around and playing the game? Maybe, but it's not worth my time. It's nice to see some integrity in an industry that could certainly use it.
If Subaru is offering any incentives (rebates, financing, etc.) make sure to mention them so that they are factored into the price.

Santa Cruz is where it's at. The crew there is awesome. from sales to service. Charlie is on here and nasioc and so is bruce. Drop them a line.
It's worth the drive. I mean look at it this way.....it's santa cruz....getting oil changes gives you a reason to kick back over there for a day.
I got my 04 wagon for barely over invoice there and it was in august of last year...there were still 03's around. So you should be able to get invoice now for sure.
