OP, you must be crushed when person after person walks past you on the street without acknowledging your presence. And heaven forbid someone make eye contact and not smile.

No friendly greeting

I'm still in the market for an STi but sure as hell ain't buying it from that dealership. Doubt if you were treated like shit from dealership you would too..

And sorry if I sounded like a crazy mofo. I was extremely pissed off and hadn't yet calmed down when I wrote my initial rant. Though it won't stop me from putting a negative light to the dealership in question. Already left a Yelp review and have written a letter to the Subaru head office about the incident.

Thank you for your generous offer. I've have received some nice offers from a few members here since explaining my situation that I'm mulling over. Right now I'm at the point to basically say F-off to STEALERships and going to go the private sale route.

This is what is kickass about car forums. We're all here to look out for one another and we all have one passion: Cars.

Will have an STi before RS meet godwilling. Thats my goal, I didn't create my user name Revseen for nothing. I love this forum and I love cars.

Well there is only ONE dealership in western Canada with a 2006-2007 STi for sale and that's Willowbrook Chrysler in Langley. World Rally Blue with with gold wheels with only like 43k on it clean title local car....If you are serious you should be buying this. Probably one of the best ones around if you like WRB

hahaha regarding this one....So I saw it when I was driving by and decided to pop in a check it out since I'm always curious as many of us on here are. Just wanted to see price and kms and if stock etc for curiosity and to pass on info to anyone looking for one. I pull in, in my 2010 sti hatch and guy immediately comes out to to ask if I'm interested, I say how I was just curious for possibly a family member and how its priced very high ($39,999 with 47k kms) especially considering Wolfe has a virtually stock '07 with 85k kms for $28,995. He says how it's an insanely fast car and no lot kids or test drives are allowed, which I say is fine since I own the same car and don't need to drive it, which he doesn't understand that the car I'm in has the same motor plus mods. I asked how many kms so he goes inside, new guy comes out in hoodie and jeans (~35-40yrs). He says that this one was the "race" version of my car and, and I quote, "This thing is faaaaast, I drove it around the other day and it would blow the doors off my 04 Ferrari, I have a Ferrari and it's nuts"....I try to hold in laughter and humor him with, "yea man, that awd will really sneak up on ya" and proceed to leave quite content with my visit to Willowbrook Chrysler.....

So it looks like the only subaru dealership with a 07 STI is Wolfe Subaru in Langley.

What's the point of this thread? the OP's later response (on this page) makes no sense.

Didn't have a salvage title. One of the employees had it up there as a typo and I guess never took it down. Was a US car (California) bought for the owners son. He then did not want the car anymore so it was sold at the dealership. 5 months same guy sells the car back to Wolfe. He only drove it 2,000kms in his time of ownership so he didnt have a need for it. Wolfe then now sold the same car two times in seven months...for the same price...lol....

Geez you guys are hella fast. I've also inquired about this car, but over the phone. Saw the ad in the morning and called first thing when they opened. Car was traded in 2 days ago for a new viper. The guy I talked to wasn't very knowledgeable and full of sh*t. When asked about mods, it's "chipped, I got the box for it here and everything". When asked what brand? "I don't know" "It's also got brembos"

I made the same comment about it being too high. It's a $50k car new and you think it only depreciates 10k? I also brought up that 05 that sold really fast to build my case for their car being so ridiculously priced. I'm paraphrasing, but the guy said that he didn't see the 05, but I guarantee you that the one we have here is better. It's been in car shows!

I gave my offer to them. We shall see what they say.

To bcuzracecarz: what mods were you able to see on it?

I only looked visually from the outside and not very closely but looked fairly stock minus the rims which are black enkeis. Also asked the unless salesman if it was stock underneath and he said he thinks it had a blowoff valve but that was it.... So from what you've said, they have no &$#@'in idea what the hell is going on

can't expect everyone to know what they're selling. I'll have to be diligent. I'd go see for myself if langley wasn't so far away. I'll wait for pics to see if i want to pursue based on the mods i can see.

The enkei's make sense for show car worthy now

Dealerships just make me cringe. Do these sales guys actually think these techniques sell cars? Over the phone I can forgive a little bit, but the Ferrari comments in person? What a tool.

How to make money selling cars;

1) Actually know what the fuck you're talking about
2) If you don't know the answer to a question, admit it. We're all human.
3) Be reasonable about following up. Not twice a day...
4) ?????
5) Literally profit... Quite a lot...
