i dont like interest, i like to buy the car off right away, and i woulndt finance another 4K, thats just too much fer me, i dont deserve a $36,000 car but maybe a $32,000 car. i guess i might just buy the normal WRX because the new sti seems bit too much, i thought id b aroun 31K out the door

Markup Shmarkup
I've heard all kinds of crazy numbers about markup; Steven's Creek Subaru in San Jose, CA, told me $10k over. (I obviously told them to shove it.) Ron Price Subaru in South SF, where I bought my WRX, told me they'd hook me up with ZERO markup, since I'm a returning customer. I don't know if that helps anyone, but if you've got a WRX, check with the dealer you bought it from and see if they'll hook you up like mine did for me. Good luck!

The dealer where I put my 500 bucks down said the mark up was going to be 3000 above invoice. I did the mathand bought the wrx 2003 for 21,500.00 instaed of spending 34,000.00 . That's 13,000 in go fast parts and that wil alow me to smoke an sti or anything else for that matter.

yes. my brother bought a 2003 WRX frum the dealership so ill prolly go bak n try to get the sti fer cheaper, yet if the sti does come out to b too much.. i might just get a normal WRX.. but i will always wish i had an sti, yes even though the WRX is much cheaper, the sti will have things the WRX will not. such as the 2.5L engine, jdzumwalkt u said ur car will be souped up to smoke an sti by putting 13,000, that is good but the sti base hp starts at 300hp! wat he the owner of an sti wants to soup his sti up. then u lose. cause... who would win.. the fixed up sti vs. the fixed up wrx. so i still the hope the sti is affordable because id be happy with a wrx, but i will always have sum regret because i kno there is an sti out there.

my only point is that spending equally the same money the wrx will blow the doors off the sti. I used to have a turbo 240sx and for 10 grand in the motor I never lost a race. Built the wrx motor bigger turbo= sti in my reveiw mirror. Here is the last car I built and I still own it, although the turbo is gone.

i kno wat u mean jd, but im saying u cant beat a fixed up sti because its base power is much higher than a wrx, so u kno wat i mean wen i say that fixed up sti will smoke any car, espeically fixed up sti vs. fixed up wrx. id bet on the fixed up sti =) u kno wat i mean? thats why i want to have the sti so bad

markup....
i got my wrx for 200 above invoice...you just have to look around and not let some body tell you what price it should be. if you are in a city, go to the suburbs or in the country to find a dealer...they won't be having as much "fast and the furious" business.(sorry, about the f and f comment, but thats what most everyone is now, soo sad...."Its not how you stand by your car is how you race your car" thanks for the insight jarule!) But seriously....you have to go where dealers don't have a lot of demand for the car.

The problem with the "go where the demand is low" idea is that, given Subaru's output of ~300 per month and that there are 650 dealerships in the US, that those "low demand" places aren't going to get STi's anytime soon. I know this isn't the same for everyone, but I'm one of those "gotta be the first on the block" kinda kids, so sometimes you have to deal with the less-than-optimal aspect of eating some dealer markup if you want the car ASAP, you know?
