Where to buy an STi

I'm thinkin about selling my 04 wrx to get an 05 STi. I live in the Seattle area and there are a ton of Subaru dealerships around here. Which one is more likely to give me a good deal?

I was also thinkin about going down to Oregon to buy one since there is no sales tax there. I wonder if that works...

I did pretty well at Auburn Subaru. Call around, see which dealer has a few on the lot, the one that has the most is probably your best bet.

you're probably right. They seem to figure out a way to tax everything...

You can also call roy robinson in Marysville, we got a impreza at $300 over invoice there. Just get the price nailed down before you even go in. Stay away from Renton Subaru, the manager is a total *** and if they screw up something they do not stand behind the deal.

I don't know how it works up there but I sell them in california.

When someone from Nevada comes down to buy a car they don't pay any sales tax or registration until they go back to Nevada and when they register is there that's when they get charged.

I bought a jet ski in CA via private party. When I came up here to register it, I paid WA sales tax according to the price on the Bill of Sale.
