Billy worked in Sales at Maita and I bought/ordered my car with his patient assistance. He is upfront about everything and is enthusiastic about the WRX (and probably the STi). Low-key kinda guy, no pressure, my most pleasant buying experience out of three new car purchases.

cool, I'll talk to him. I really doubt that this will work out - I just owe too much, which is fine. They're a business - you can't expect them to lose their *** to cover my poor choices

but if they'll do it, I'll let em

I hadn't thought of that. They probably still won't give me what I would need to do it right, but maybe I'll look that up

Thanks, man.

BTW: I looked at the pics I took of your car, they all sucked. came out blurry and stuff :| sorry

matt, i bought my WRX from Billy. I was about 2k upside down in my RSX. to get me to buy the WRX, they were willing to go 2k below MSRP. it seemed to be a pretty good deal because at the time, almost all dealers were charging a couple grand dealer markup. he's a cool guy, but if they go "high pressure" and bring in a closer, just tell them you already have a nice car and tell them you'll walk out.

cool, I'll ask for him and tell him I know you guys. I'm a "little" more than 2k upside down though but maybe he could do something :|

we'll see. I would really like an STi, but also really like my WRX and I'm not going to make it so I can't eat to get one

BTW: You guys are awesome. Thanks for all your help tonight and last night.

we talked about that last night at Mikes. I really like sonicsuby, and I can keep that if I get a white car...

besides - the only name I can think of would be whitepower

true, and good thing you didn't keep that other username around for long. That would make no sense if you bought the STi

and a white boy driving around in a white car, calling himself whitepower is liable to get his *** seriously kicked. Doesn't quite have the same level of irony if I or anyone else non-white was driving the car.
