How much would you pay for this 04 WRX?
1) I went to the dealership and they offered me an 04 WRX sedan with premium package, armrest, mirror, alarm, upgraded audio, for 23,800. I dont know if thats a good deal or not. But considering its this late for an 04 how much would you pay for it? I said people got it for 22,000 somethign he said thats impossible, he said if i bring in a better price for something he'll match it and beat it. So anybody got anythign i can print out =)
2) And I'm looking for a Black 04 WRX sedan with premium package, armrest, mirror, alarm, side spoiler, boost gauge, and i'm not sure if i should get the Short throw shifter or not. I know I would shift quicker but I want more of the driving experience since this will be my first stick car, so do you think I should get the short throw shifter? And how much should I pay for a car like this right now?
3) BTW what is that hood scoop accessory, is that like a bigger scoop or something? How is that SPT exhaust too? Is it possible to get STi wing & front lip on a WRX?

23.8k isnt too bad of a deal. i just got mine for the same price. picking it up tomorrow 
if u want, check out www.edmunds.com. it tells you how much you can get it for around your area and how much invoice is.
im getting pretty much what you want. i wanted a boost gauge, but it wasnt part of the options. mine has alarm, short throw, auto dimming mirror and the armrest. its also my first car with stick, and i did want one without the shifter, but i didnt have much choice. i figure you can always put one in later. unless you search on ebay, i would think its a bit harder to find a regular shifter to replace the short throw. and im not sure what you mean by the side spoiler. the 04's have non-painted side spoilers, but i think its optional to have em body-colored. i didnt care much about that since im gettin it in black.
as for the hood scoop accessory, no idea. the exhaust would probably be cheaper if you get after you buy the car. theres many more choices out there, and im sure some of them are better. its possible to get an sti wing and lip, just ask someone at the dealer to swap it with a sti. ive seen many ppl that wanted a sti without the spoiler, so they switch it with a a spoilerless wrx trunk.
gettin too antsy, cant sleep. hope this helps.

Is that 23800 otd? Because if it is otd thats an amazing price! Even if its not, thats still a pretty good price. I got the short throw and it was my first stick. I am so glad that I did get that option. Im not sure about the hood scoop option, but I would wait on the exhaust. You can get a better exhaust after you buy the car and probably for half the price. Imo, I would buy the car!

Go to www.carsdirect.com
You can usually get a few hundred bucks under the carsdirect price.
The carsdirect price in my zip code is $21,596, so you could probably get it for just over $21k plus tax, license, and doc fee.
EDIT- This is without options!

$23,800 OTD is a great price. Even if it's not OTD, it's still good, given all the options.
My $0.02 about it - factory short shifter - some people love it, some would rather save the money and go with aftermarket Shortshifter and bushings (around $130 for the Kartboy). Most people like having some sort of shortshifter though. Premium package - good. Armrest and mirror - good. As for boost gauge, there are DIYs on the message boards - I bought and installed my own - total cost was like $30. And the upgraded sound system is worthless IMHO.

Car Info: '04 WRX Plat. Silver Prem. Pkg.
I bought my '04 Prem. Pkg. in May and it had a MSRP of around $27k. The dealer ship had Internet Pricing on their website of $23k. After reading the fine print I saw that the $750 rebate was included in the price and there was a $100 Internet proccessing fee. I ended up getting it for $23.6k + tax and tags. One thing to take into account with Prem. Pkg. and the legendary Subaru windshiels (meaning they break as easy of fine china) is that the heated windshield is not highly available and they cost between $700 and $800. I didn't even have my car for a month before the windshield got cracked by a rock. Luckly my comprehinsive insurance deductable is only $100, but I'm still waiting for the shipment of windshields to get to the US. I also got the 1.9% financing which I heard isn't available anymore so you should be able to get the car for $23k but all depends on availability in your areas too.

No, there are plenty of threads regarding the frailty of Subaru windshields. Since I mainly stick to the WRX boards I thought it was an issue that had to do with ony our cars. The more I look around at other suby's I see alot of cracked windshields.
