what are you willing to pay??

According to my dealer, the STi is going to range anywhere between 50 and 55K CAD, with no markup - so far 2 cars are not spoken for so I don't think they are planning on price-gouging like I have heard in the states (not much demand here). I am willing to pay this price, though hopefully closer to $50K, but I am still holding out for the estimate given to me awhile ago by the dealer rep at about 10 to 12K over the WRX price, putting the STi at around $48K CAD.
Anything over $55K, even with the sale of my WRX and my bike, will be putting me over my cost threshold and the STi will have to go bye-bye.

Well i got some bad news for all of you 
... i went over to my mitsubishi dealership just to see the Evo 8 in person and the msrp is supposed to be $30k but the dealers jacked up the price to $40k and in some other cities they will be a higher price. so just think what the price of the STi will be like if it is supposed to be a couple of thousand dollars more expensive then the Evo 8.

I know we all complain about the price of the STi, but in order to keep ourselves grounded we have to look at what we are getting for the money - in terms of performance that is. Sure you can always say that there are other cars with similar performance for a lower price (like the 350Z), but what it comes down to is that there is basically NO other car that can be directly compaired to the STi (even the EVO might be a poor comparison). No other car is as capable on pavement, dirt, gravel, and for those who it effects even snow when you are looking for a competitive car. Yah, thats right - snow. For those who garage their WRX's during the winter are missing out - the WRX goes like the wind in deep snow (with proper winter tires that is).
I would also be curious to know how many of those people which bitch about the price buy the car anyway. See the car in person and I bet the price is no longer a concern.

ok guys i just spoke to my subi dealer and he told me the STI is gonna be 31k to 35k so there's one speculation.....so i guess us poor people are in suspense now... cause i really don't think that the STI is worth that much and shouldn't be overly priced than the EVO :x

The first thing you should mod on that EVO is the entire front end of the car - butt ugly. You might be regreting your decision when a STi pulls up next to you.hatchy said:
But thats just me - I am seriously biased towards Subie. i have just not heard ANYTHING good about Mitsu's - has alot to do with the fact that Mitsu is faily uncommon here in Canada (but Subies abound), and the EVO isn't coming north of your border, so most people up here ignore it.
But feel free to change your mind and go with the EVO - I am sure there are people behind you in the waiting list wanting to get their cars sooner.
