About time you told us where you were! I was like "He's advertising, yet he's not giving us a location of any sort".

ooooh an 09 white wrx... nice. what kind of price are we looking at here?

great concept. i really like it.

consider offering "MethodBuilt" performance packages on new subaru's/mitsu's. the new cars are already at your shop, and you offer aftermarket parts to put on upon purchase. take it to the next level

that is a genius idea. the only worry id have is getting a 'methodbuilt' package on a car that has not yet been broken in yet. also the price difference from a regular dealership? especially with the economic crisis and all.

but those are just minor. i hope you guys do well with the idea

there are third party aftermarket shops that do this with new cars already with Ford trucks and some other American makes. Buschur Racing offers his package on new Evo's out where he lives also (midwest somewhere). It's about time someone did that in the Bay.

basically saying buy a car with out the BS is just buying the price they asking for.

of course that needs no BS. but if you want the car cheaper, you still have to talk the price over and over.

buy car at MSRP means NO BS.

the 2007 white sti stevenscreek have for over half year already, they asking for 28,999. and they got the car for 21k. the lowest price they offering is still at 27500.

obviously there will be no BS if i buy it at the price, but is not a good price.

this is same as buying car from dealer, because i still have to talk the price down over and over.

The car's will have the parts installed when you pick it up right off the lot. If you anyone is worried about the car's engine, we can put a break in map, then tune it once it is done with the recommended break in procedure

The part you are thinking is the BS is not. The sales people at a dealership basically don't have a real say in negotiating a price. So, we cut them out of the equation. Our cars that we sell will have an MSRP with the packages. Currently we have two 08 Evo X's that will come like this:

SSS Package
SSR TYPE F 18x9 WHEELS
265/35/18 Hankook 214 Tires
JIC , Tanabe or Greddy Exhaust
KW Variant 3 (add 500 for the custom spring rates)

NCE PRICE 38000 PLUS TAX. FINANCE AT 0% FOR 60 MONTHS.

Basically you could say it's a chunk above what the non modded 08's are selling for, but we are giving you quality parts, not american racing or such that the other dealerships install on their modified cars on the lot.

As for negotiating, we have on the premesis, an actualy sales manager, so you can negotiate with him. We also try to act as a partial mediator to help in the process. We can help your trade-in value etc if need be.

Keep in mind this is with ANY car on the lot, so if you want an S2K we can get that for you to.

what is price for the 2007 sti. stevenscreek asking 28,999, and you guys told me is $27.5k. so is that the cheapest price you guys can offer?

the trade in value for the car is 21-23k. im 120% sure that they did not get the car over at the price, in fact i talked to the sales man who took that car as a trade in, the guy traded for spec B, and they gave him 21k for the car. so that is over 6000 in difference.

you guys told me that the lowest price is 27500, because they are IN it too much. i don't think so. which dealer would pay 27k as a trade in sti. plus the car has been sitting there for a very long time, they will sell it for very cheap. so if you guys are telling me 27500 is the lowest price you can do for the sti, i think i can do much better on the price by talking with the sales person instead.

If you don't believe what any of us had to say, you should just buy it some where else. You asked for a price, we asked them and they told us how much. We are not a car dealership, we are selling mods as a package and that is it. We can help people skip the bs, come check out cars without being hassled, if you dont like the price, dont buy the car, no hard feelings no issues, heck if someone wants to come drive it just to see how it is, than that is fine as well. That is the service we offer. Hope this clears this up.

I can ask them again for you if you seem to be sure.
