Buying a WRX

[SeattleJeremy]

Yep, the dimming mirror is an option (even on the limited cars), and totally worth it.

Before doing the short shifter consider the bushings first. These bushings make the shifter feel more precise, in a way the short shifter never could.

Yes! Ditto. I will be getting these as well. You can't beat the value!

Well, I have the sales guy working up a quote for me on this:

Black, Subaru WRX Limited
+ Navigation
+ 10" Kicker Sub + amp
+ Front Lip Spoiler (to prevent cracks and scrapes)
+ Center Armrest Extension
+ Dimming Rearview (without compass and without homelink)
+ All Weather Mats
+ Cargo Tray
+ Sunshade

If the "price is right" -- after checking with a few other sources -- I'll be placing the order later this week! Do you guys have any idea of what sticker vs actual purchase price is on these? I have done a little research that is saying about 10-15% off, but I'd love to know what your experiences have been in the past.

I'm in SoCal and just about every dealership I contacted was willing to show me the invoice cost on everything - including the car. Then, after a test drive, I asked that dealership to go under invoice on the car while keeping my accessories at their invoice cost, and the guy made good on that: $200 under invoice.

I HATE haggling, but I didn't even have to do any. I simply stated that every dealer I talked to wanted to gimme the car at invoice and I asked him to beat that.

Yeah I love my auto dimming mirror, and I would go for something other than the Subaru sub and lip

Please research the fitment and install on any other front lip before purchasing. I spent too much for the OEM lip for a 2 reasons - perfect fitment and no drilling.

+1 on ditching that little sub, especially considering that you will be doing some serious stereo upgrading later.

GOT IT!
Instead of waiting 10 weeks, I decided to take one that came in for someone else who backed out! See the details here!

If you have any questions about why I went with what I did, ask me!

Thank you for all of your help!!
