I went to Irvine Subaru and talked to one of the sales. I know it seems obvious, but if the production of the STI is limited and SOA does not produce enough to meet demand, then a 5-6k markup is inevitable. I understand that Desiree promised that she would not have a markup, but that is solely based on if Irvine Subaru receives the 40-50 STIs that they requested.
I know i would be out of the race if this were true. Would any of you be willing to pay this high of a markup for a limited production STI?
