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.

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

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.

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....

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'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.

-Dave | 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...
