I think I can lease a WRX under the following terms:

2002 Manual, silver, turbo gauge, 20,000 miles
60 month lease, $230/month with $2500 down
Price used- $19,000

Is this a good deal?

I have had trouble in the past with cars breaking down, spending a lot of money to repair, etc. I just don't want to regret getting myself into something that is going to break the bank with repairs, etc. How is the reliability? What should I look for when inspecting this car? I thought about buying an older BMW, but think this may be better because it is newer and still under warranty.

Any Comments would be appreciated.

 

i paid invoice plus $100 for my new 2002 wrx.....your deal sounds expensive for a used car with 20k miles on it. arent they selling 2003 wrx's for invoice plus a few dollars?

 

Blue book value is $19k, which is obviously expensive. What do you think would be a reasonable price for this car (it's from a dealer)?

Also, is the warranty still valid?

 

You pay about 2 thousand less if you lease and have nothing to show for it at the end. If you buy for $19k, your payment would be a tiny bit more and you have the car at the end, worth a few $k. Buy it.

 

I paid $21,900 for an '03 Wagon 2 weeks ago, that's $400 under invoice with NO haggling. Called the dealership at lunchtime and was quoted that price, got the financing sorted out, went in at 4:30pm and was driving home at 5:15pm Subaru of Santa Cruz

 

Right now you can buy a brand new 2003 WRX sedan for $20,350. And that's out the door, as there is no tax here in Oregon.

Man, if I had the money, I'd jump on that deal like it's nobody's business.

 

You have no tax in Oregon? Lucky...

 

Wow, just over $20k for a new WRX! I wonder if i could get that deal in Columbus... I will have to check when I get back from school.
