I'm not sure if you're working with a Scubie dealer yet but the Subaru dealer on Grand is great to deal with. Damien is a car guy and a manager there if you're interested he can give you a good deal. He brought out a white one to cruise one night and it was sick! I'd go with a Scubie over the Evo from a maintenance standpoint.

That's actually the dealer I've been talking to, going back most likely tomorrow to hash out numbers on the WRX. They've been very helpful so far, hopefully they don't try screwing me on my trade in...

What are you trading in?

I've had good luck selling company cars back to same-make dealers. Many will buy back without a trade like CarMax, and there's also room for negotiating. Last week, I took a 2015 Honda Fit with 15,000 miles to a Honda dealership and they quoted me $13,500. I countered at $15,000 and they wrote me a check for $14,500. It's more of a pain to shop around, but ended up being worthwhile. They cut a check in a few days, though that car also didn't have a lien on it.

Car from my sig, 2016 CX-5 GT. Tomorrrow I was planning on going the old "Take it to Carmax and use it as leverage" route. The other advantage I have is that I absolutely don't NEED this car, I just wanted something a little more fun as my DD. So if they try taking me for a ride on it, I have no problem walking.

SUVs are hot right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if a Mazda dealership were willing to give you more money. They could take that car and put it through their CPO program and ask more money than a non-CPO car. If they can ask more, they might have more room to pay for your CX-5.
