3 questions: dealers and prices

Hey folks. Got 3 questions for you (which actually expand to more questions... but whatever...)

1) Which is the closest Subaru dealer to Coquitlam? Which is the BEST dealer in the Lower Mainland?

2) Is it possible to ask for a lower price on the 2.5RS on the dealer's lot? Because it is might expensive considering that 2.5TS could almost trounce it (in terms of specs). Was wondering if anyone got a good price that was way lower than MSRP?

3) Best place is Total Autosport for Subaru repairs, right? (So I've heard anyways)... anyone know the quickest way to get there from Coquitlam?

Thanks all

closest would either be wolfe langley subaru, or don docksteader vancouver. i know there are many on the nasioc.com site who have bought from the same salesperson at docksteader because he was giving good deals so maybe ask there...

2.5TS better than RS? i'm missing something here.... 15"steel wheels, rear drum brakes, smaller front brakes...

http://www.totalautosport.com has directions on their website and a map to show u how to get there. unfortunately, they cannot handle warranty repairs

4000 dollars cheaper, 2.5TS now comes with disks all around. I'm not sure, but I think the brakes are the same size now.

So, there's only a few things separating the two. 2.5RS comes with:
-Leather shift **** and steering wheel
-rims
-different suspension w/ wider front track... or something like that
-slightly tighter gear ratio (selling point for me)
-Looks like WRX... kinda...

Okay okay... so I just like the sedan looks
But other than that, those are the only real things I could point out. Someone care to correct?

Are the RS and TS seats the same for 2004? They weren't for 2002.

Aftermarket stereos are becoming a must have for anyone who wants good sound (Honda stock sound systems have some good bass, though).

DD is... eh, 1 hour away from Coquitlam? Or something like that.

Could the 2.5RS be described as a "fully loaded 2.5TS sedan"? Or is there more to the 2.5RS?

Also, anyone able to tell the difference between the gear ratios?

And, has anyone managed to get a good chunk of money off the MSRP for the 2.5TS or the 2.5RS?

Edmunds would give US prices, right?
might not reflect the right CDN price?
