that sounds like me. u went to subaru kaneohe?

if so it was me. whoever buys an STi from me deserves the car to have as little mileage as possible. i believe that even if my clients are not yet sure.. that they deserve a test drive to help them decide. its a fine balance of determining if they are qualified to pay for the car in case something happens during the test drive- and trying not to offend them.

i have people that try to come in here and test drive a car without any intention of buying and just trying to take me for a free joyride- wasting my time and putting useless miles on the car.

in light of that i try to be as cordial as possible yet maintaining as much professionalism as possible.

hope you get one though- i have to say its definitely worth the money.

It's always a fun situation when you know they aren't buying a car that day.

Dude...forget Waialae...they let people THRASH their cars (I know because I thrashed two when the salesman said to go for it, before buying mine from somewhere else).

Go to Greg (gdogg) at Kaneohe Subaru or Nino (elNino) at Waipahu Subaru! They're both really good guys that won't fark with you and your emotions

Oh and the 6 cylinder already exists on the Legacies, Outbacks, Foresters and Bajas. They most likely won't throw it in an Impreza but you can get one on the new model Legacy. I prefer the turbo though...go try both and you'll see why

dude good luck.. im thinking bout WRX in the future as well, possibly 06 or 07 i d k. i'm really deciding if it is worth it in terms of getting a new car. fam and i or us, or we has never every bought a 'new' car off the lot type of thing, so it'd be interesting. i've hung on iclub hawaii for quite some time, although maybe not actively but reading and looking here and there.

i am not sure too if i want to commit to a payment plan while i'm still in school, and all that, i don't want to be like after a few years and then dig out and make more loss. i want to find a car in which i can keep and what not for possibly the next 5-7 years or so. yet many things play a factor in deciding, such as MPG, personal life, gas costs, etc etc.... plus like if i am ever going to get into this automotive world as deeply as some are. plus owning a turbo car and all that.

let me know how the test drive went... and who is cool and what not :P.. i know nino and gdogg are 'popular' hehe.. haha maybe i should talk to gdogg via pm or whatver.. but good luck :P
