Cool New Black EVO w/ tint

Here's my new EVO. The dealership, (Big Two in Mesa), tinted the back windows dark and the front (legal) 35%. Looks great w/ the TARMAC BLACK paint. The black paint has blue metal flakes in it, (if you didn't know it).
This is the Baddest car I've ever riden in!!!
Already have 225 miles and I just bought it today (had 12 miles on it when I picked it up).

Did you pay over MSRP? Just curious because I may have to go out of state to pick one up at sticker.

I paid MSRP plus the tint job, which was on the high side but very professional! They told me that guys from Cali that wanted to by from them had to have 7500 miles on the car to import it to Cali. Thats why the Cali dealers are jacking prices so much. They got you guys by the *****...unless you have an address in AZ or whatever state you buy from.
I would consider letting some use my address to buy in AZ if everything is legit!

It only applies to cars that aren't 50-state legal. The Evo has california emmissions no matter where its shipped, I believe. Which means this isn't true.

Awesome, you are only 2 states away! Better than texas, etc. What dealer was it? What else do they have in stock?

Coolguy..If you are asking me, it's Big Two Mitsubishi in Mesa, AZ (480) 218-2200. ask for Bob or Brian, Brett is the SM. They have one left for sale. If you put a $1000 deposit over the phone they will hold it for 24hrs. Good luck!
P.S. I only spent 1 1/2 hrs at the dealer and most of that time was waiting for the detail shop to finish. They are definitely customer people.

OK...I finally just looked at the sticker in my glove box. MSRP was 30062, add on were:
Paint protector 299 (rip off, just wax)
Lomo tint 199 (a little high, but very professional, the tint goes all they way to the edge of the windows, and the back window has defroster wires)
If you buy one from Big Two before they get it they will sell it for sticker. Mine sat for an incredible 2 days on the showroom before I called.
It did have a nice wax job!?!?
Anyway...I'm very happy!!!

BAHHHHHH I better not have to fly out there and drive back an Evo from there. I'm trying to get my dealer to work on the markup with me based on that dealerships MSRP price. I would think they'd be reasonable about it especially since they haven't sold a single one yet. That's what happens when you charge $5K over MSRP I find out tomorrow whether or not I'm goin to AZ.
