Never had an STI before, looking forward to owning one and attending the local meets. Can't wait for it to arrive although it's probably going to take a while.

 

How much was 1200 under invoice, and how much are you selling your fit for? If you dont mind me asking..

 

Nvm just saw the fit price!

 

Here's what I paid..

Invoice price for 2012 STI Hatch is 34,873$
All Weather Mats - 39$
Security Shock Sensor - 73$
STS - 341$
Bumper Cover - 45$
Body Side Mouldings - 135$

Total Invoice: 35,506$

I paid exactly 1200$ under invoice which was 34,306$ (had to put down 500$ refundable deposit). Note, it's before TAX / TITLE and LICENSES..

 

I'm pretty torn about selling it (asking blue book - most likely OBO), it's a great DD and a great car overall but I only live about 2 miles away from work.. May keep it if I get low balled too much - seems like Subaru its taking a while building the 2012's..

 

I wonder if a sedan can be had for the same price.

 

congrats, nice purchase.

 

The 9 SE is my favorite model evo.

 

Yep, he told me that's what he sells them for (Larry Fung).

They had a 2011 STI Hatch (Silver), and a 2011 STI Sedan(Silver - Limited) in the lot yesterday when I put the down payment and he was also selling those under invoice. I opted to order a 2012 though to give me time to sell the Fit.

 

I'll compare how it feels when I get the STI. I've driven my EVO 9 SE, and the EVO X quite a few times in ( Glendora Ridge Road / Glendora Mountain Road- SoCal). The X turns great (S-AYC kicking in) but you can definitely feel the weight difference between the two. My 9 felt a lot lighter, nimbler giving me more confidence.

My assumption is that the STI will feel similar to an EVO X given that it's also quite heavy but will find out.

 

Wow that is still a great price

 

Cooliooo the evo 9 looked good too. Come out to the meets and meet us!

On a side note, I may have to set those shock sensors off when my stereo.

 

evo and sti totally different feel especially on the track

 

Do you know if he is selling the WRX that much under invoice?
a buddy of mine just got a quote for like 50 bucks under invoice.
Should he call around and try to find a better deal.
That was at stevens creek subaru.

 

Welcome to I-club

You'll feel in the STi you've moved up a class. The evo 9 SE is one of my top favorite evo's. Only thing that would get close to beating that is a white 9 RS.
