Those rims look awesome. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with almost 107,000 kilometres on it for $19,490. I want it so bad, but even I think it's crack pipe, especially when models that aren't this special edition version with the same everything else can be had with less mileage for cheaper.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Still, the want is strong...

holy crack pipe, there was one with 90k on it for $11.5k near me. I have a weird love for these.

Kilometres or miles? I forgot to add the unit of measurement in the post (it has 107,000 kilometres).
I know it's such a crack pipe, but just look at it! I'd rock it so hard.

miles, and I still think the $11.5 was a CP because (at least in my area) there are very few saabs selling for more than $10k.
I'd love one as a daily driver, they look so good!

Way too high. Awesome ride though.

I've driven that same car, when I was invited to a manufacturer's day back in 2007 or 2008. Manual "xwd" in black with those same wheels. Rides nicely, goes fast, good awd that didn't seem to push much in the corners (although I didn't push my luck with it).
Good looking car, shame about that price...

That dealership has had a rough life: Saturn, Saab, Suzuki, Mitsu.. Now they've just spun their unsold Saab inventory into a 'premium' dealership, but last time I drove past it looked mostly like Mazdas. Canada does love Mazda, so maybe something is finally working for them.
Almost bought a 2005 92x Aero from them back in 09, went with a 2006 CTS 3.6 instead, zero regrets until it got written off, maybe the AWD Saabaru could've saved it...

The Saabaru is my current reasonable want. And yeah, Mazdas are really popular here. Shame about the rust, though.

Hah, I looked at a couple of 9-2Xs there as well, on 2 separate occasions and I find their poor luck in choosing brands sadly hilarious. Their pricing is a bit out to lunch though, IIRC one of the Saabarus I looked at was listed at $7 or 8K with nearly 200k km and they would hardly budge to something more reasonable. Needless to say I didn't pursue those cars any further.

I've been to that dealer a couple of times. The saleswoman I dealt with was friendly but their pricing is very much on the CP side (especially on the Saabarus I checked out).

Well that sucks. Time to begin haggling.

If you go that route, definitely go with the 92 over an Imprezza. I think the front end looks better, has a better interior, quieter cabin, takes suspension and steering components from the STI, and has the nifty Saab head rests. Everything else is WRX.
Subaru owners may turn their nose up at you, but in the end it's the better choice.
