how much is invoice on that? are you leasing/financing (rate?)? how much a month?

I got it for $26232 which is $200 below published invoice, plus tax, tags etc.

Financed a bit of it.

VW are offering 2.9 for 60.

Great deal I think.

Nice beater. Mine is a 2002 STi (the STi was available in Australia from 1994 - I believe the US had to wait until 2003/4 for it).

Got it for $200 under invoice

Too dark for pics. Will snap some tomorrow but here is what I googled:

Nice pick up. Love the carbon gray. It's slightly darker then my platinum gray. I paid around the same with the same financing for my 2.0T sportwagen. Couldn't get the paddle shifters or bluetooth(w/o adding navi for this). The sportwagen had some goofy packaging, but that seems to be VW's thing.

Ok, got pics - took it out for 150 mile trip around PA today and it is a ton of fun. I can't say enough about it. What a blast:

If I was to buy a second car that would be it, very nice!

If I might ask, what made you pick this over a Mini Cooper S?

I like both, but I think the Mini is slightly better handling, as well as being in the BMW family

wtf, that's not a beater. i was about to trade my e92 for one.

would've ordered your exact combo, but the white looks amazing as well. test drove a four door awhile back and left impressed.
