I just got stationed at Holloman in beautiful Alamogordo lol
I have a 2006 Blue STI. I've been considering upgrading to a new STI, but I'm not sure if I'm going to at this point. I called the large dealership in Colorado to see what kind of pricing they offer and it isn't anything too great. Looks like they give invoice on new STI's, but after seeing Evanston Subaru in IL offer $1,100 under invoice on new 2013 orders I would have to try finding a better deal than what they can give up there. Their trade in offer on my car with only 65,000 miles was ridiculous as well. What dealership is the best to deal with around this area? What good/reputable tuner shops are around this area that you can trust with your car? Thanks.

We have 2 dealers sorta close, el paso and Albuquerque. Can I ask why you want to trade in your car? An 06 is a nice ride dude! I'd actually mod it instead of dumping money into a new one. Of course you may have your reasons. Cam from Camtuning.com is the closest and best by far! He's in Albuquerque but comes to Cruces. He's mentioned quite a bit in this thread...he also posts in here too. |

When you say he comes to Las Cruces, is that to just visit the area or does he do actual work there? Does he just tune or install stuff as well? Maybe I will keep it who knows. Before moving here I lived in Michigan and had Oakos Automotive do a compression test and leakdown test before my warranty expired and all checked out good. I guess if I wanted to toss some money into mine and make it a beast I could. The cops are so bad in Alamogordo though it's probably not even worth it. |

I've got an '11 STi and can meet you in Las Cruces if you want to go for a ride if that helps. Tomorrow I have to bring my son down to the orthodontist at 3:00 P.M. I make it down that way about once a week.

Are any of the local dealerships willing to haggle to under invoice on the price? |

When I bought mine I couldn't find any dealerships in New Mexico and El Paso that had any. I ended up buying mine out of Lubbock and having it trailered to me. When it comes time to buy, if you take delivery here in New Mexico you can pay New Mexico TTL even if the dealerships are in the surrounding states (Oklahoma, TX, AZ, CO). That will save you some money (or offset delivery costs). It can also help you get several offers on the table by having multiple dealerships competing.
While your GF is here if you happen to drive up to T or C or beyond. Let me know. The offer for a ride still stands. Just PM me. |

Gotcha. My bro had those seats and they were much better for aggressive driving but could be uncomfortable on a long ride. Def not too bad tho. He has family here so he'll visit and tune down here and what not. If you need someone to install stuff just PM me. I've installed parts for a few local guys. If I could do it over again I think I'd buy an older STi (05-07) and go from there. I spent a lot of money on my car and a lot more to mod it, too much for such a nice/new car. That's just me tho |

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2396418 Several folks expressed a desire to get an older STi. If you do decide to order a new one you shouldn't have too much trouble selling yours on this forum. good luck with whatever you decide |

I hear that the used STi's are holding their value pretty well.

I would be fine with taking good to very good condition on private party sale value of KBB. I just don't feel like dealing with the hassle of selling it because if I sell it I have no car and then I have to try dealing with dealerships that aren't local. If someone walked up to me and said hey would you be willing to sell it that would be sweet, but this isn't a perfect world

I was wondering what oil and oil filter you guys use? I've read the threads and everything but just wondering about your personal opinion? And I'm sure most of you do it yourself right? Or do you take it to a shop?

This thread still alive? I decided to keep my current STI for a couple more years or so. Maybe Subaru will introduce some positive changes in the STI in a year or two. I'll be flushing my brakes/clutch with some ATE blue here soon and replacing the rotors. I'm worried about those caliper bolts though since so many people have had trouble with them. I haven't removed the bolts since I've owned the car and honestly I don't think anyone has removed them. Anyone have any positive experiences removing the caliper bolts? Wish me luck.

The thread has a heartbeat of a 95 year old man, hahaha.
Cool, I'd do the same thing. I did my fluid change without an issue. The bolts weren't too bad but the rotors were a different story. That took most of our time (maybe 5-10min per rotor). Since you're in there if you don't have SS braided lines you could do those too! Pretty cheap if you ask me |
