Hi All!
I just put a $10k deposit on my STI today and inspected the actual car....got a Black Exterior with Silver/Gunmetal Wheels... and picking it up this coming Wednesday!
Since I actually got one coming I'd thought I would register and become a member of this forum. I was lucky enough to find a dealer that was selling at MSRP with minimal extra crap added on top. To give you guys some info, here's what I paid:

Car - $33837.50 (including lojack and turbo gauge)
Stereo & Paint Sealant - $1490.00
(They would only sell them with an aftermarket all Alpine system with head unit CD Player and Alpine separates in front and Apline coaxials in back...hey, at least its a nominal markup and you actually get something for it!)

-Plus tax (8.25% here in cali...a killer!) and license fees... usual bs

I didn't need the stereo as I'm putting about 12k -15k into a full system for the car but I figure I can sell the system on Ebay or something. But...I do want to stress, that once I actually saw it in person, sat in the drivers seat, and inspected the car, I WAS HOOKED! Can't wait to drive it this Wednesday.

Any recommendations for break-in period and cool aftermarket body kits? Let me know as all feedback is appreciated. Also, any know a good tuning house that specifically works on Subies in So Cal?

 

and you guys said STI RICE wouldnt be coming to a street near you

 

Sure Adam...
When I get my whole ICE system put in I'll take some picks and post them. Can't wait to have all together... the awesome car with the awesome sounds! After all, who needs money in the bank anyways? lol

 

What dealer in LA?
