What did Edmunds provide you for MF/RV/incentives?
You have too many unknowns to be this far along in your conversations with dealers. Take a step back and get the groundwork squared away first. If you don’t know exactly what the vehicle should cost before talking to a dealer, you have set yourself up for failure.
according to Edmunds forums that’s the buy rate. I cant seem to find pricing information due to it being a special edition. I know the special editions tend to command a premium so I’m guessing the pricing varies pretty heavily. Thanks for the feedback. Certainly don’t want to dive head first into a horrible deal.
Unfortunately not. It’s got a lot of the same queues like the wheels, suspension components etc, but not the enhancements to performance. Which are easily attainable with light modification, but the point of the s209 is that it’s a special edition and has a warranty to accompany that aggressive tune. Some will argue it’s much better to get a “regular” STI and simply tune and modify. This is difficult because it’s one of those niche cars you buy because you want and not a Corolla where you simply find the dealer ready to take the biggest loss.
Totally insane to lease this car at that MF when you can get so low APR financing. Calculate the rent charge versus what the finance charge would be. STI’s hold their value really well, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase it.
Buy it … no point of leasing when there is only $50 difference plus if im not mistaking you will be saving money on insurance too because when you you buy you don’t have to have 100/300k coverage which most lenders require for lease
I’m not doubting what your friend experienced. I had read an article in jalopnik talking about Subaru not being able to secure all the allotments before shipping. Which is unusual for a limited run of cars like this. Glad they ended up getting sold, though.
