Talking New 05 Evo Owner!

Hi Guys,
I just had a wonderful experience buying my Evo at Huntington Beach Mitsubishi and I wanted to pass the word along. I went to a few other stores and got the run a round but HB Mitsu was totally different.

Rich the sales guy was the best salesperson I have ever met with and so was the Finance guy Brian. They made the entire process very easy and confortable.

I even got to met the owner Tom who is an Evo guy as well.

I just can't stop grinning about the car and the deal so I am going to go for another ride, see ya!

1) if u r going to mod the evo then the 10 yr/100k is waste of money, cuz mitsu will not honor it or will give u a hard time.

2) u do not want Lojack cuz if someone stole yr evo, u will not want to recover the car cuz it will not be in good shape. (all stripped).

When I purchased my 03 EVO, the extended warranty retailed for $1999 but I was able to negotiate it down to $1,325.

So to break it down, you got:

Warranty....$1,500
LoJack........$ 600
GAP Ins......$ 300? (I usually purchase and not lease)
Alarm.........$ 245
P&F Seal....$ 350?
--------------------------
Total..........$ 2,995

So he basically got the car for about $1k under sticker. Many would argue that the P&F sealant is a waste of money, but overall you got a decent deal. Not great but not quite the KY Jelly deal that everyone else is referring to. Maybe you paid a little more than the absolute rock bottom price where you got a steal, but consider that that cost of good customer service.

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the EVO club (of which I'm not longer a part since I sold my EVO.) I would recommend that you cancel the extended service contract. Mitsu is notorious for giving you a hassle with the warranty so it may not be worth the money if it is a Mitsu extended warranty. If it's a third party warranty (i.e. Ryan, etc.) then maybe it will be worth it because once Mitsu denies your warranty work (which I'm sure they will some time in the future), you can make a claim to the extended warranty.
