Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Dealership wants to buy my 06 2.5i back, Why?

Got a letter in the mail the other day from my dealership stating, because of the high demand for my car they would be interested in re-purchasing it regardless if I want to buy a new one or not. Is this a come-on or is there really a high demand for these cars since the 08s are not selling?

Ah... they don't want your car, they want to sell you a new one! NO different then the 'guaranteed trade in value' letters. It's to generate more sales, plain and simple!

It does say regarless if you want to buy a new one. However, they are probably getting desperate to get rid of the 08s.

they like to send out these in order to attempt to attract trade in's, which generates new car sales while building their used car inventory.

Also, I get letters in the mail that state that I am the winner of a million dollar sweepstakes jackpot. What should I do?

Publishers Clearinghouse ruined the economy, not the rising energy costs or sub-prime crisis.
