At last! I got me an '08 WRX!

yep. it's easier on their limp wrists and doesn't disturb their macrobiotic feng schue.

Maybe, but it is easier on my arthritis.

Just bought my 07 WRX Wagon from the same dealership. We should take a drive.

:-D

Silver is one of the sexier colors on the 08's

I noticed you bought it from CARR Subaru? Who was the salesman? I know one of the guys at CARR and curious if he gives everybody good deals (or if it was just me).

I worked with a guy named Maui. They tried to screw me over on the free ski rack they offered when I bought the car...

A drive sounds good. I can definitely use the miles. I was thinking a drive to cannon beach this weekend (weather and work permitting).

Thanks! I like the silver best as well.

I am going to the mountain on Sunday. That's always a decent drive, and testing out the AWD is fun! I have been up there twice with the subie and it handles like a champ. I will probably invest in winter tired for next year.

Not sure if I will have time this weekend. I know in the Oregon PacNW regional forum they are having a drive this Sunday up to the Seattle area.

You might want to check that out as well.

I dealt with Ken Eby (internet sales). I feel like I got a good deal from them. Especially since I know for a fact a dealership right across the river in Vancouver was trying to screw me by about $1k.

The numbers on paper never lie.

Internet Sales is the way to go. The sales people hate the internet sales dept. I have heard of both guys (don't know them directly), but they are not my connection. I know Doug Pleis (even went to his wedding) and he certainly got me a good deal back in '06.

All well, I was just curious.

Thanks,

Hmm. Either drive sounds great. I might need to get a little more familiar with her before taking her in the snow heading up in the mountains.

No doubt dealing with internet sales was painless in comparison to dealing with a sales person. Nice group of people there at Carr and you're not dealing with a huge dealership empire like... **** Hannah (cringe) where they do not really seem to care.

Greetigns and welcome to the club!
