I would pony up for a proper undiluted special edition STi (assuming it is a perfect world and they bring them over unchanged)...Spec-C, RA-R, S20x, etc.

They are between USD $40k-60k equivalent (from yen prices), but I am sure import costs would bump it up some. And I don't care to hear it about "that's BMW money"...I want to have a reliable capable car, not a tempermental status badge aimed at valet hard parking

It's a Stevens Creek Subaru thing. I've seen them do $2k-4k markup on Imprezas. Simple Imprezas!

God I hate valet parking, it's always some teenager who revs my engine just to hear the exhaust.

This is winning. Forum buddy of mine bought an Audi Q5 like last week.

I think I dang near stole this car. It helped that it's a 2013 and the 2014 comes out in two months. I went in with all my homework done, a true copy of the invoice and a firm number. I would have been very happy with the deal but just to jack with them, I backed out of the deal at the last minute and said my gut was just telling me to go with the Infinity. I called the Infinity dealership while I was at the Audi place and told them I was "stuck" in a situation that I had lost all interest in and I would be late to my appointment and threw in enough language that the Audi dealer knew who I was talking to. When I hung up, he said what do I need to do to keep you from going there. I said just make $1,000 more disappear and I will sign right now.

After it was all said and done I asked to speak to the manager again. We set down and talked about the deal. I asked him if I had left anything on the table and he said "you truly beat me on this one" We laughed a little bit and I asked him why he let that happen. He stated that he kind of got lost in the game and wasn't letting me walk out. He then stated that the next 3 guys that come in are paying sticker price.

It's MarkUp, aka: AskingPrice, don't pay it, walk away and hope it's still on the lot 90 days later. Simple and Effective. In my case, before I had an in's I just parlayed my discount privileges. If enough people balk, they'll drop prices. Until then in all sad honesty there's enough people with money in S.F. up through Marin willing to pay.

^THAT^. ^ALL THAT, LOL.^ I've seen STi's in Mexico and Brazil with closer to JDM Spec than we get. Gotta love California.

Id rock that color, but is not my favorite. I think Solar Yellow is uglier than that orange

OK, OK, OK, we all know and have heard that joke by now. Ya need a new one, this one's been played too much too soon.

Besides, if someone is willing to pay $10k over suggested they can run all the Hood-Ricers they like.

Speaking of which, BugBash is in Antioch tomorrow if anyone wants to check out their SPACERS, erm, "deck-lid stand-offs".

It's legit, I know a guy w/ an EJ25 SWAP running them.
