Thanks Gut.

I was also wondering if, seeing as the wagon doesn't have the rear bumper vents of the sedan - are they purely cosmetic? If not, why are'nt they on the wagon and can they be fittted?

Most people seem to recommend Subaru Mandurah & Ozzy park & say to stay away from City Subaru in Vic Pk, but...........:Dntknw:
P.S. Go for a red Blitzen Wagon......................Pure horn.

Do you want to mod the car?

As some leases wont let you mod it.

re modding - I'm not sure, I guess I would want to drive it first and see how it goes.
This will be my first 'turbo', and my first brand new motor. In fact it'll will be my first for a lot of things - suby, wagon, awd, turbo, new...

If I find that I'm simply not satisfied with it and do want to mod it, I can wait until the end of the lease and buy it and then mod it. I am considering a 2 year lease so i can trade in time for the new gen liberty in 2009.

nik - thanks for being candid. it's appreciated - I'm down there either this or next weekend so might try and book a test drive.

Peel don't have any GTb's in for me to test drive :angry: anyway personal circumstances prevent me from buying right now - still damn interested though.


Got a couple of n00b questions - when someone uses the abbreviations NA & TT (those 2 particularly, I'm sure there are others) what do they stand for?
Is there a glossary anywhere on the site?

Thanks Mickey - the site's great.
it's certainly keeping me interested in buying the Lib when i do get to make a purchase.

The dealer I spoke with didn't mention the Blitzen, even when i asked about whether a red wagon would be available even on import...

dur, of course it is! now you say it makes so much sense.
thanks weezer :victory:

I still want the Lib - I will still be leasing it - seems the most cost effective way of going about getting a car like that. I just need to wait for my permanent visa to be approved before I can get a lease. I also need to convince the wife:girl_devi  that the new GTb will be worth it as it could be around $1200 a month all in (insurance, servicing, fuel etc).
So it looks like I've at least another 6 weeks to wait before I can start crunching numbers again. :suicide:

I went looking around a few places after a new rex before i bought my liverty 2 months ago.  I found the sales reps in most places in perth were absolute tools who really knew nothing about the cars they were selling (i had to tell one about the WRP10 and new WRX tuned by STI!).  That said, the guys at Melville were excellent.  Knew heaps, weren't pushy, generally great guys.

Money no option.....  i'd definately go the suspension and breaks.  the engine tunes and stuff are pretty mild and you can get better tunes elsewhere, but the sti suspension and break packages are what i'd go for.


in regards to leasing, i ended up going through smartsalary in vic park on a novated lease.  really good option if your work will let you do it, but a brand spanking new GT might be above the 'luxury car' threshold, so you might be s**t out of luck. 

finance????  who knows.
