Just bought my first non-piece of **** car.

Just wanted to get all you guru's opinions on the deal i got, etc.

----

My dad works at a subaru dealership, so i got the car at cost - here are the quick specs

-----

2002 Subaru impreza rs-2.5 sedan Black with deluxe interior.

15,500 miles

stock everything + a spoiler and fog lamps.

What's special about it, was that its an MSO -- meaning an executive from subrau amercia was the only driver on it, and means that when i get it titled i will be the frist driver listed as though it were new.

Listed on the lot it was 19,900 i'm getting it for 15,800 financed at 5.9%

Just wondering what you guys thought of the car/deal - i'm in love with the car, i've already bought a sound system for it

Thanks,
Matt

 

Not bad at all, though that original price is overly inflated. I just (5 weeks ago) bought a new 2003 2.5 RS with 5MT in black with spoiler, fog lamps, and tweeter kit for $19,000 with 24-month 0% financing. It's a beautiful machine, though I did get my first small chip in the bumper paint the other day, which was quickly touched up. My highway commute isn't very friendly. Congrats on your new car.

 

Yea, i would have done that, except i need to finance it for 5+ years

I will probably pay it off in 3-4 but theres no way i could pay it off in 2 years.

Thanks i'm sure i'll dig it.

 

Did you guys test drive a WRX as well as the 2.5RS? I need to go test drive but do not really want to go until I am closer to being able to purchase.

How quick does the 2.5rs feel and is it just as fun as the WRX. I have to say I would love to have the turbo though... If I went with an RS I could get it a lot sooner. I am hoping to pick up a 2003 for a good deal with the 2004 get closer to release date.
