2013 WRX, What Did You Pay?
Hello guys,
I know I am new to this forum but an avid member on 3si for my VR4. A quick rundown, I just sold my second 3000gt and will be buying a WRX '13 fairly soon. I was curious if you guys can post up some figures so we can all compare to see whats a good dealer price for these cars. This will help me greatly during negotiations. I know this is a personal question, but if you guys can start a small database on what you paid, downpayment (if any), interest rate, how many months (term of contract) and monthly payments - that would be awesome. Format: Year: 2013 Type: WRX (4 door / 5 door) - Base, Premium, or Limited Any Added Accessories: STi short shifter, etc. Out the door Cost: DownPayment: Interest Rate: Term of Contract: 72 months, 84 months, etc. Thanks! Mike

Welcome to the forum.
We all hate these threads because there are too many variables. If you are happy with what you paid, that's all that matters. Welcome. /Thread |

Yeah I am trying to keep it basic. I know we can all go into variables so if people want to say around 27,000 or 28,000 thats fine also. Just don't want to walk in blind. |

The car was like 27,700 which came with a STi shortshifter and homelink system. They gave me a pretty good discount of 2,700 but with tax it pretty much voids that. So I got offered high 27k. |

Yeah, truecar is pretty spot on. What I also found useful was AOL cars. They give you every option and how much it is invoice/msrp. After you build your car, go to your dealer and shoot as close to that invoice number as you can. If you order, you should have no problem getting invoice or even better..
This is what I did and i got my car below invoice. |

man even 72 months is insane, imagine owing on a car for 6 years, by that time it will be getting into the higher mileage.
Ok OP, call me a prick but I hope what I am about to say is a reality check for yourself and many others. First, if you HAVE to lease or finance a vehicle, that should be the first red flag that you can't afford it. Ok sure, you desparately want the car and have a net to fall back into in case you lose your job so you decide to finance a new car...Fine. The next red flag should be the term. Again if you absolutely have to finance then if (to afford the payments) you have to increase the term to anything over 36 months this should be a huge red flag. At that point you really need to re-evaluate your personal view of your financial position and focus on your priorities as you absolutely can not afford the car. There are really only a couple reasons someone should be financing/leasing a vehicle. The first is if you are one of those people that likes to change cars frequently and always wants to be in a new car. Fine, lease the car and be happy (as long as no red flags are present). The second reason would be if you can put the money that you would have used to purchase the vehicle in an investment that will earn you more than the interest rate of the loan adds to your debt. A good rule of thumb that I use is: Take your NET yearly income (gross doesn't really mean much unless you are tax shadowing using certain investments), and then divide your net income in half. The resulting number is about what you can afford for a vehicle..... I find a ton of people fall for the financing/leasing trap these companies set by thinking that being able to afford the payments=being able to afford the car, which is absolutely false. |

If at any point during the payment term you owe more than the car is worth, you made a **** terrible financial decision.

Try Edmunds TMV pricing...or even USAA's auto circle pricing. WRX's are 26-27k and STI's are 38-39k.

That being said - on your second statement, a car is NEVER going worth what you pay for it unless you buy used and pay cash. |

I know its a forum and people will always give there opinions. However the poor guy was just asking what others paid to compare dealer prices and options, not asking if he made a horrible decision. Its his life and his money so if he wants to finance for that long thats up to him.
I agree that is way long for a car loan, but I don't feel like raining on his parade. The good thing is that these hold their values pretty well. |

Got my 2013 base wrx hatchback for $26,818 out the door. Came with the auto dimming mirrors, arm rest ext, and supposedly a short throw shifter. But the shifter has yet to be installed, I'm getting a feeling I may have been lied to didn't get it in writing.

I come from 3si.org and if people say I CANT afford a car...dont you think i would know that? Everyone thats bashing me. You guys sound pretty bush league to me. I have a credit score of 763 and almost debt free from school loans. I graduated college with my Bachelors of Science in Business Management and married to a wonderful girl that graduated also from ASU with her Biology major. I am 28 years old and we bought our first house last year. I am getting a 4 door since we are expecting our first child in June. We are both college graduates...have our finances in place and we are just looking at our options. I didn't know this place had so many dousche bags. I wonder how many people here own a STi or WRX and still rent. Talk about poor financial decisions. |

Yeah exactly lol.
Let's see what your car is then? You want to act like I am some 18 year old kid that is fine. You have no idea WHO I am but you think its fun to bash people on a forum. That is cool too though. Your the only one looking like an ass in this situation. You have a 02 WRX meaning you can't afford a new car. I, on the other hand, have my college education, married, have my own house, and am a responsible working person who just loves Subaru's and am in a situation where I can get one now. Why are you making yourself look like such a tool? Other car communities are welcoming but you seem to just be a bitter prick thats probably renting an apartment or something. |
