My vehicular conundrum

[HighwayUFO]

I went car shopping today after ISC said it would be around 5 grand to swap my transmission. With that said, I will be trading in my car and getting something new. My monthly income is close to 1800 before taxes, so money isn't hard to come by.

Here are the fruits of my labor.

Smartt Cars in Caldwell said they can put me into an '05 WRX for $575 per month and $215 per month insurance. Said '05 WRX has 76k on the odometer. Good condition.

Team Mazda Subaru has three options for me, which I like very much. I used to work for them, so they are helping me out big time!

First option is an '06 STI on a lease program. Looking at $550 a month with about $250 insurance.

Second is an '07 WRX TR for about $450 a month and $208 a month.

Third is a ****ing '04, pile of ****, semi modded SRT-4. $20'000 and about $300ish a month.

I really want to keep the all wheel drive, because I hate torque steer. My former boss told me that it is a 50/50 chance on walking away with an STI as of the time they close. Tomorrow, the finance manager will be working on my file to get that % rate of lease approval higher.

What should I do here? Do I get the SRT-4, a car I hate with every bone in my body, or hold out and see if the STI or WRX pull through tomorrow. Either way, the outcome isn't so bad.

Is Mitsubishi any more lenient as far as their lease is concerned?
