Default New STi price?

OK, so now that I've sold my STi I'm in the market for a new car.

The three cars I'm looking at are, F6, SS-V (maybe HSV R8), or STi.

Took an SS-V for a test drive on Sat. Holden have come a long way since I last had a Commodore (VX series). I reckon they are great value for money.

I have a test drive of the F6 lined up for Wed night, although just reading the weather, may have to postpone. Didn't have time to test one on Sat arvo, just had a look/sat in one Very much looking forward to this one.

Went to Subaru Ozzy Park on Sat, but the guy there didn't seem to interested. Said he didn't have any manual STi's to take for a spin. Will try City's next I suppose.

My question though is there much movement on price for a new STi (non spec R)? I believe they're about $67k drive away.

The guy at FPV said he could knock $$ off pretty much straight away. And they're $61k drive away to begin with.

Not sure if I can justify near on $70k for an STi if there is no movement?

Any comments?

Cheers
Zombee

Zero movement due to the limited supply.

I paid 68 Drive away for mine (approx).

Agreed, all I got for 'free' was the Recaros thrown in on my Spec R. I don't regret it though. Car is awesome. Just a pity about the audio system.

i think the F6 will be a hoot. i drove a couple of xr6T's while i was in the market for the STi. They are a great car but the one thing that shat me off after driving an xr6 around for a week in sydney was the driving position, felt like my ass was 6ft in the air and not connected to the car at all.

Go the F6!!

I test drove one before buying my GT (wanted a change from a turbo charged car to a supercharged V8) and they are a fantastic car to drive with heaps and heaps of power!!!!!

Think I saw they were $59,990 drive away somewhere?

Being that you sold your car to buy a "Bigger Car" i would think the Ford or Holden would suit better?

Don't go the Holden!
I test drove both the new R8 and the GTS and was disappointed with both.
If you're considering the SS or the R8...test drive the new GT...u will be blown away mate...I absolutely love mine!
