So I am looking at buying a 15 WRX in the near future. I just visited the local subaru dealer last weekend with my Dad, to take a look at one (first one they had on the lot for about 4 months). Unfortunately they were very strict on taking it for test drives, so they didnt even let us take it for a quick drive. lol
So anyway, I have a few questions about them.
1. I am looking at the Premiums. After sales tax (5%), I will be looking basically right under the 30000 mark. But the limited would put me at about $32000. I need to draw the line somewhere, but is the extras on the limited (leather is a big one I guess) worth the $$?
2. Since my dealer only had a silver, and wont be getting anymore WRXs in until January, whats colors should I look at? (as far as showing scratches, dirt, maintenance etc)? Does color affect resale at all?
3. I should have asked the salesman when I was there, but didnt think of it at the time...If I ordered new through my dealer and "built my own", would I be paying the $800 delivery fee?
4. About the extras, are they worth getting or are you better installing stuff yourself? Here are the accessories that I was looking at: Short throw, Extended arm rest, and maybe the front lip.... I did want the keyless/remote start, but that only comes with the limited, and I have no idea how much extra it costs? Anyone know what it costs?
I am not definitely decided on a WRX (been looking at the standard imprezas too, but once again, they didnt have any to look at at the dealer). A WRX would fill my needs pretty well, and even my Dad was pretty impressed with them.
I would like to purchase a car earlier next year, as I am saving to have a substantial deposit. This is how the salesman said to handle a loan if I got one:
I would be looking at a 40%-50% deposit from the start (this should help get my interest rate lower).
Take out a loan for the remaining amount, under my name, and get my Dad to co-sign (as I have no credit yet) which might also help get a lower interest rate. (I am 18, with a full time job).
Does that sound like the best way to go about it?
Any input or advice would be appreciated!
