Car Info: ...zeh car drives you!
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

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

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.

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.

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.
