meh.

Am I the only one that cant understand how the STI they sell now only has 5 more hp (and 10 less lbs of torque) than the one I bought 9 years ago?

But hey, at least it got heavier and more expensive, right?

 

Noooooo. Mitsubishi ralliart colt

 

Okay so I got a quote from the dealer, the sales guy I talked to told me that the used 2008 sti is going for 30k+tax, clean title, no problems. A brand new sti hatch unloaded would be 33673+tax. If you're serious about it let me know!

 

Lol they're only taking $3600 off a 4 year old STI!

 

That's what I was thinking

 

Their defense is that its got 13k in.mileage and i think its got nav and two sets of tires and wheels i believe. :-) im.pretty sure the used one is loaded. we could always have riceboi confirm.

Thankd for the info btw riceboi!

 

haha no problem at all, I'll check it out again tomorrow. do you want to go in and talk to the sales guy I was talking to? maybe you can talk him down some more.

 

Haha, that is ridiculous! In 2007 I bought my 2004 STi for $23K (only 22k miles on it too). Private party sale ftw.

 

Who is Larry Fung? lol If thats the guy ive been talking to him for a while. I was thinking 26+tax/license/fees so somewhere around 28k and i expect 7k on my trade in so 21k + apr after that :-) so around 24-25 OTD? im not the greatest math wiz lol.

More then likely because it was a private party ;-) that plus with the 2008 estimated to come out sometime in 2007 im sure that person just wanna to make money in case his 04 value took a nose dive. :-)

 

I don't know who larry fung is, I'm not that close to the sales department, I work as a service tech. I was talking to samuel levy since he was the only one that was in the office when I went to ask. his number is 510-544-9160(cell) if you wanna talk to him, just say Kevin the service tech talked to you the other day, or something along those lines. honestly, if you ask all the sales people, I'm sure they will all give you a different value.

But yes, private party sellers are awesome, bought a 2005 sti 3 months ago for 24k with 26k miles.

 

email Larry at Carlsen...he'll give you the lowest price possible, no BS.

 

I'd say STi if you can already afford it

 

Larry just said to offer on the used 08 sti so he didnt give me the lowest price possible lol. He also gave me a quote that was basically sticker price on a new one. He mustve not liked me or something :-)

I factored in maintenance and insurance and I should have no problems :-) Just cant live the life of luxury and eat out alot thats all. :-)

 

thats still absolutely ridiculous. Also the 2008 STI had an MSRP $1,100 LOWER than the 2012, so they're actually only discounting it $2500 over a brand new STI. Wow.

 

Sounds like they're trying to work someone over then. I'd say pass on that and get a brand new WRX or find an 08+ STi from a private seller.
