yeah i was thinking that, because the warranty is pro-rated.

and i dont care how much ive spent so far.. i really dont.. as long as i can afford what i am trying to buy..

and if i drop 10-15g's onto my loan.. i will be able to finance an sti easily i think. right now i am spending 500/month on payments. so i know it would be lower than that, i have found sti's for 23g's with 25k miles.

i am also about to drop 15g's on my wrx to help pay it off.. so i will be so far from upside down it wont matter at all..

26k ???? I hope not with just the options you listed or you got ripped hard.

ROFL..

There's no way you can afford 64k for the STi, which is the price you'd get talked into paying. lmao

Dude, that's rude.

I have always overpaid for every car I have ever bought until I started buying on the Internet.

www.carsdirect.com

I have bought both from the website directly and allowed one of their "special dealers" to contact me. I got the most amazing price offers from the "special dealers" really!

Example: at the end of 2002 I was looking for a 2003 Honda minivan - the carsdirect price was 30K, the dealers wanted $34K, with the options I wanted. The "special dealer" who was the Honda dealer in San Leandro, gave me a price of $28.5 K - no joke. I ended up not buying, but it wasn't because of the price.

I also was looking at buying a new 2003 MBZ 230 SLK convertable - the "special dealer" turned out to be a car rental place in Dublin and the price was more than $5K below what a dealer was giving me.

Carsdirect has been really good to me for new cars. Cars.com is not as good.

Notes:

Carsdirect dealers that I recall for 2003:

Toyota = Fremont Toyota
Honda = San Leandro Honda
Subaru = Livermore Subaru

I forgot the name of the MBZ place sorry.
