I guess my quest for a cheap fast car will have to bypass this $43,000 anomaly. Even the non-STi WRX models were marked up $3,000. I think not.

E-Gads! I bought my '02 WRX wagon in New Hampshire right after the WRX was introduced to the US and named to Car&Driver's 10Best list. I paid ~US$22000 including the 100,000mi extended warranty (~2k under sticker). I just wanted the car, if I had waited longer or bargained harder, I may have improved on that. New Hampshire and Vermont is one of the parts of the country where Subaru is very popular, so they didn't have to advertise an extra-low price just to get people to visit the dealership. Do the '05 models have many changes compared to the '04s? I was under the impression that they did not. What country (or part of the country) are you in? Maybe Subaru dealers, after seeing the prices of the new Legacy/Outback, are now thinking that their Impreza based cars are grossly underpriced. I think my car is worth what I paid, but if the sticker was 3 grand higher, I think I'd head to my local Saab dealer and get a new WRX clone
9-2x Aero for the same $$$.
The 2005 WRX (non-STi) actually has an attractive spoiler for once. I don't know how negotiable the stupid markup is (since I'm not ready to buy yet).
By the way, I'm in the San Jose, California area.

I'm getting my WRX at invoice. No bargaining, just sent the guy an e-mail and told him what I want.
Just make sure you gave him an "off the lot" price. If you said you want a car "at invoice", they'll gladly do that, and laugh all the way to the bank with how much extra green they took from ya.

Pretty sure CompUser was just trying to be helpful. If you have a bit of free time ( a minute will do) I highly recommend you read this page or browse the site even.
