    I bought a 2008 STI from Gary Venzant at SOG last Saturday. He was great. He was knowledgable, let me and my wife test drive several cars and did not play games.

    He was willing to deal and gave me a fair price on my old car (2001 RS2.5) as a trade in.

    I highly recommend him.

    I hate to say it, but I'm not sure what an SRP coupe is. It was a 2001 Sedona Red RS2.5 with silver "checkered flags" on the rear quarter panels.

    That's it. It was a great car. The only problems I ever had were the front wheel bearings, which were replaced under warrenty. If Gary had not been so good, I would have been happy to keep driving it.

    Another 08 STi, damn. They're invading!

    Haha welcome to the site man. I do wish you had joined earlier though so we (I) could have possibly talked you into just doing an STi drive train swap on your 2001 :)

    Awesome, I really like the 08 STIs. Would love to be able to afford one as a daily driver!

    I bought mine from GV too.
    BTW,
    I have yet to see another 08 STI on the road, except for the blue one that I saw a week before I bought mine.

    Where are all you guys hiding?

    Great guy, when i knew i wouldnt be able to find the sti I wanted at SOG, he gave me tips for what to look for, to know if the car had been previously modified.
