Hello,

To everyone who told me their area does not offer STi's at MSRP, please read this thread at the other club. There's a lot posted, but in the end, you can see people chiming in from everywhere, New England, the South East, etc., all telling about their MSRP orders.

One dealership is rumored to be offering $400 over invoice. Another, $2k over invoice. $2k over invoice is likely to be less than MSRP.

Just to let you know, when the WRX came out, there were a bunch of dealers selling at $X over invoice instead of MSRP. The risk was that you might pay more than MSRP. The way things turned out, most people on that type of order ended up paying under MSRP.

I don't know about fully loaded, but my local dealership told me $32k was high and they were guessing $29,300. Personally, I think they don't know what the hell they are talking about and it will be more like $32-34k. I decided I owe too my on my wrx and I'm going to wait till 2005 anyway so don't matter too much anymore

dun forget the reason for STI debut here is bekuz of the EVO and evo only so what can one do to take evo right out of the picture? simple.. the STI will cause the same price as the EVO no kidding, even solberg said we will be surprised..

if thats the case no one will buy the EVO only when all the STI are sold out.. that means subaru once again reign on top

The Evo won't be the sole determinent for the price of the STi. I can't believe they can sell the STi at 29K without doing so at a loss, and completely shutting out the Evo does not seem like a compelling business case for selling a limited-production car at a loss. I bet they'd sell every single U.S.-bound STi at 32K or even 35K regardless of whether Mitsubishi sells 20 Evos or 10,000. Even though they're after the same market, they're simply not in the same league, and Subaru would be well justified in charging more for the STi than Mitsu charges for the Evo.
