I hear Irvine Subaru is the place. When I was first looking at the WRX in 2003, even though I'm in Sacramento multiple people recommended them over my local selection of dealers

Yup, Irvine Subaru rocks. That's where I bought my car in 02. I drove from n.cal just to buy the car. 
I dealt with the fleet manager, forget her name, but it was nice and easy. They gave me a good price for my trade-in and the whole experience was a good one. Haven't heard anything negative about them since then. Good luck.

check on jdmmuscle's new ride
Yeah, killer deal in deed. I went to jdmmuscle's place and he got a killer deal on the 06 STi. That boy is making too much $ from his job. He needs to hurry up and get promoted so I can quit and work for him so I can make enough $ to buy a 06 STI.

I've contacted several different dealers around So Cal before I purchase my wrx 05.
Irvine, Renick, South Coast, Big Valley, Thousand Oaks, and Timmons.
Irvine and Thousand Oaks were quite straight forward.
Irvine was the best experience to me from negotiation to closing the deal.
Also, they have the most comfortable waiting area compared to other places.
FYI, except for the Irvine, others are combined of another car makers
South coast - Acura,
Big Valley - Dodge
Thousand Oaks - Mazda
Renick - Cadillac
Timmons - VW
Irvine's service/parts dept looks like having better inventory.
The sales person I met in Big Valley subaru , has almost no idea on Impreza...
(He even insisted there is no prem pkgs on 05 models...)
Anyway... it depends on your location but if you're in Orange County, I recommend Irvine.
If you are around Ventura county.. go to Thousand Oaks...
You will not be disappointed.

As I know so far, don't go to the Sierra Subaru. This guy named Jeffrey seems doesn't know such a thing as invoice price and he even told me that a guy just bought a STi from them 38xxx outdoor...I just gave him a whack smile... and now im trying to get a quote from Irvine Subaru, does anybody know if I can get a discount if I tell them I was referred from this forum? And has anybody deal with Jeremy before?

so far as far as dealerships go.. i heard santa monica was really good. i also heard about Timmons, lots of people bought their's there due to the close distance from where i live, 310 rpv. but i guess i have to go to irvine from hearing positive feedbacks from everyone here.. that's frank's irvine correct?
