I've also been chatting with my roommate who works at a mitsubishi dealership here in town as well as chatting with his boss, and it sounds like I could pick up a 2011 wrx for roughly $22000 with 0%APR for 36 months and monthly payments right around $300.

I'd rather not pay that much for any car, but my thought is since I can get a good deal knowing somebody that works at the dealership, I could potentially own a car that wont depreciate as much in the next few years. Thoughts on this???
$22,000 loan with 0% APR for 36 months is more like: $611.11 with $0 down.

The only way to get to $300/month @ 0 % APR and for 36 months/$22,000 is to finance for 73months and that results in a $301.36.

The other option to keep the 36 month term is to put $11,200 down on the $22,000 loan.

Granted these loans are assuming a $0 payoff at the end, they could be setting you up for a lease or a residual loan.
