Being a college student, I am trying to figure out how I can afford a new STi. I am curious, how old are most people that are considering this car, and secondly, what kind of jobs do you have to pay for it? I'm a business major so I will make a fair amount of money when I get out, it's just whether I will be making enough to afford the STi. There is no other car that I am even considering besides the plain WRX. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

30k is steep but doable for most college grads I'd imagine.. The STi is a fantastic deal for the money, and will probably last you a long time being a Subaru.

If you think about it, most people take 5 year loans on a car and will end up paying probably pay 7-8k a year or so on a 30k loan. Granted if you have kids/ wife/ house payments already its pretty rough..

my plan is to invest in the stock market to make enough money to afford one. i have an ace up my sleeve on an ipo :wink:

Count yourself lucky that you guys in US pay a lot les for cars than the rest of us.If one take a value conversion (not exchange rate) we are paying the equivalent of approx $90K.That's the equiv of $2000 a month if you take 16% interest.Don't complain. Enjoy.

wait a minute, where do you live? and how do you figure you pay so much more?

In Africa. The average salary here 5000 per month in our currency. The Sti costs 340K. You do the math.
