Default Got my CarBargains bids on the WRX. Should I go for it?
Car in question: 2002 WRX 5sp Wagon.

I've got quotes for anywhere from $200 to $1000 over invoice, and one for MSRP. The $200 over is at a dealer 55 miles away. The dealer closest to me didn't bid, but I'm going to fax him and see if I can get him to go for $500 over. The next closest dealer, and the place I would go for service (Carlsen Subaru for the Norcal folk) came in at $700 over. Where I go to get the car will depend on who gives me the best financing deal. Each 1% on the interest rate adds up to about $450.

Should I do it?

Default Why not bring your own financing?
Secure a loan from the bank (or wherever) beforehand. Then just go to the place with the lowest price.

I have a loan from PeopleFirst.com at %6.19. I want to see if the dealer can beat it.

Default WHOA over invoice?
I know they are in demand but if you know how to play your cards you should get it BELOW invoice.

My gf got her 'rare' Blue Wagon (auto) ordered for 2K below invoice.

Default It'll be my track car. I want something fast, cheap, and easy to repair.
Remember, I've still got an S4. ;-)

Default 2k below INVOICE? Are you sure it wasn't 2k below STICKER?
That would put it right at invoice.

Default The Wrx is NOT an S4 by anymeans. Performance wise they are comperable, (m)
but the S4 is far and away a more comfortable and civalized car. If you want a car that is capalble of being crazy fast, but is not very comfortable, go for it. If your looking for a stripped S4, Stay away.

Default Doh, course I meant invoice :)
Nahh...hehe, dumb me, yeah I meant MSRP.

And yeah, never mind, I misread his post, didn't 'register' that he CAN get it for close to invoice, that's great, go for it!
