And to the unfortunate ones that have not yet driven one,It was money well wasted. This car is outstanding. I live in So. Cal. so I new I would get taken. I have not driven the car in 8 hours and I am still smileing. I have no regrets and I have the first one and only one I have seen.

That's funny that you would come on this board and admit that you paid over sticker when you have infact just screwed alot of people that are trying to get one at MSRP. The more people that pay over sticker the longer they are going to mark it up. :roll:

It's interesting that nobody has yet asked, "How MUCH over MSRP did you pay?"
Someone posted that the dealers "banded together" to charge over sticker. I just spoke with an individual at Norm Reeves Subaru who said something along the lines of "... the other dealers would get mad if I didn't sell the car over sticker". Honestly, if I had the cash to blow I would pay the mark-up, but I don't so I won't. And to those that are holding out, that's your prerogative (I'm doing the same thing). Along with the ones paying the premium. But try not to hold it against those willing to lay down the cash. NO Peace! j/k 
I was viewing another board tonight. The guys who live in California have it rough. Every story was about $5k to $9k over MSRP for the STI. Now one of the things that I found the most interesting was the fact that the dealers were getting as many as they were. One guy said his dealer was getting 10 while another said his was getting 19. The shame of it for the guys above was if they had buy orders and were led to believe they were going to pay MSRP and then found out that they had to pay another four or five grand to get their cars. Hey you guys==order from Murley, or come east and just use the money you saved for a train or bus ticket. Then you can have a hell of a ride home. Sure will reduce your break-in period for the car!

It is good that you did not per say give over MSRP money to the dealer. But on the other hand you are paying over MSRP if you add up travel expenses and your time. So if one is paying like $500-1000 over MSRP it may be equivalent of the the expenses of getting the car out of state. It depends.SFRinNJ said:

Yeah but at least you have the satisfaction of knowing you didn't pay it to the dealer. It may be a small consolation but at least its there. And you will have fun driving it home. It'll be broken in and ready to get beat on.titsataki said:But on the other hand you are paying over MSRP if you add up travel expenses and your time.

spoke to alot of dealers here in Canada,not one quoted over msrp, they try and upsell other options, interior scotchgard and undercoating, most say they dont want the bad customer relationship that builds with overcharging the people who support them, : I;ve got mine ,paid msrp and was very satisfied doing so,my dealer was Subaru city, :wink: :wink:
