Today my dad and i went to check out the STI at a local subaru dealer because thats the main car im considering now. I was looking at an 01-02 m3 or s4 (bi turbo, screw the new v8), but as for bang for the buck its the STI. I really prefer the exterior styling of the bmw and the audi, but my dad really likes the sti and its not common out here at all. I see alot of m3's and s4's driven by the rich "business men." I figure if i get one from the auction, its probably gonna be a lil beaten on and i really would like a brand new car. Plus at 18-19 years old i dont think i really need an m3, my dad said i wouldnt have much to realistically look forward to after that. Anyway, who knows... i still have about 6 months to a year.
Well the salesman told me that subaru only produced 3500 sti's because it's a "limited edition" and that what each dealer has on the lot, is the last of them. He said "they are only alotted so many." Well, i think thats ********, my friend read an article stating that the sti will have 4,000-5,000 produced annually. The salesman did tell me that they have not announced whether or not they will be producing them in 2005. I think he was just feeding us that ******** so we would purchase faster, because we told him it wuold be at the end of summer, AT the earliest.
Another thing, i told him i only wanted black. Any in Fla and some of GA there are only two black sti's. Naturally, he was like oh silver is a nice color (because thats what he had on the lot). He's like you should go wiht silver or white they are nice. Obviously silver and white arent liked by many because thats all the colors that are mainly at dealers. I personally think it looks like **** with the black and blue seats, but thats just me. If i'm going to spend 30-31k on a car, you can bet its going to be the color i want, regardless of where i have to get it from.
Sorry had to let that frustration out because i just got home. If anybody knows anything that could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
