...and Haole-Pino i'll be glad to sell, maybe even give you a few parts if i actually do this, i dont have any of the stock parts that i swapped out so we can probly figure sumthin out.

I mean , i like the car a lot, but don't want to pay close to $1k a month in car payments. I would get a beemer instead. If i do get one, it will be used, that i can say for sure. I'm not paying over $40k for any subaru, well maybe those rare ones spec-c, 22b, etc.But not for a regular production car. Good luck though!!

The thing about this STI is... It's becoming comparable to a BMW. Power, Refinement... This is a stepping stone for Subaru, in a more upscale direction... which unfortunately is not good for people who loved the STI as a "bargain" car. It's 40 grand because it's worth it.

also unfortunate is that is how a lot of sportscar start life as....a cheap good performance car...then over the years $$$ kick in....and suddenly from a cheap fun car to a not so affordable expensive fun car...rofl
example.... ford mustang 5.0's what a bargain back in the late 80's -mid 90's could you beat a car like this for price and performance when you could buy it new for around $15K
RX-7's...Supra's....Camaro's....300Z's they all were once cheap if not now extinct because of the low number of sales due too high performance prices.
what makes things worse is working for companies in hawaii that dont give high enough raises each year to keep up with the living costs of inflation here.

It doesn't seem unlikely to get into an STi for under $40k with the base SOA MSRP at ~$35640.
If my wife could drive stick and I could get someone to pick up my S4 I'd certainly be looking!
