2015 Subaru WRX

Why not buy STi instead of WRX? Not much difference in price, right?

[Forte3737]

I think the real (hidden) killer is insurance. Unless you r uncle or max NCD; if not, insuring a WRX probably costs more than COE!

Try direct asia

Try direct asia

 

Direct Asia don't take this car.

 

Only 3 insurance Co in SG insures the rex.

 

 AXA, NTUC and AIG.

I insured mine with OAC.

Is this an EJ25 or FA20?

We are always talking about the FA20 right?

[Pocus]

A lot of reasons:

Insurance, tax, displacement. Its actually a lot more exp.

 

Anyway there is a clip in YouTube comparing the Rex and STi, the Rex with the newer FA20 has more potential in modding. Also, a simple ecutek flash could put the Rex as powerful as the STi.

Oh I see. I am out of touch already.

The sti has more functions not available in normal wrx right?

For me, I choose wrx because its CVT is wife friendly. Off course it is also much cheaper. I like manual but CVT is more practical for me....

Bro, only dropped 3k. It was 144.8k.

Paisey, maths fail. Haha.

[Godprint]

Wrx drop $4k to $141,800. If have $3k discount off listed px, thats $138,800. Getting closing to the $135k u all looking for.

Bro Evo, thanks for update. This is great news.

Let's see if the 134k price will meet.

 

Wonder if any se lurking here. Haha

[Ngbernie]

WRX was already selling below 140k half a year ago, before the CEVs revision. that was when the COE was higher too.

 

Slightly bo hua if buy now, but I think it's still offers a lot more value over the 200+k new honda CTR. Save the $ for yearly Europe trips for family of 4 instead 

[Mkl22]

The sti is by default 20k more expensive than the wrx due to the cevs penalty. Really tough to sell with such a penalty.

Yeah I have a fren eyeing so we have been observing the price move.

[Godprint]

So what should be our entering price ideally?

[Godprint]

Went down to toa payoh, no car to view. Haha. No sunroof, just 18 inch, leather seat, and the same entertainment as levers and others.

No sun roof?? The one at motor show has it. And the SE there said what you see is what you get, for $144800 that time.

HONDA HRV 1.5 LX CVT has almost the same cost ( OMV = $22900 ) as the SUBARU WRX CVT ( OMV $23000 ). IMHO with Honda selling at $117k, the subaru should cost around $117k+5k CEVS = $122k region ( Fair value ).

 

Of course the Subaru is marketed as a premium saloon, therefore it should cost slightly higher. My take is it should not cost more than $130k.
