Trying to Buy an Evo... my saga

I have been a lurker on the board for a couple of weeks now getting information - I am interested in purchasing a new Evo (there are a few left in the area!). I have visited five dealerships - I don'tthink I have met one decent sales guy yet!

At most places the lack of knowledge and bad attitude are incredible! One place I went to that looked promising had a new '05 MR on the lot - thought it was go until the sales kid tells me about how he takes it out and hammers it!

Any really good places to buy in MA? Looks like I am getting an '06...

I have been to shops in Attelboro, Norwood, Natick, danvers and Manchester NH...

thanks!

Have you checked out Herb Connolly yet? They mostly sell Hyundai but they should be able to get you an Evo as they still sell a few Mitsubishis. I had a really good experience there with Brian Barnett (I think that is his name). I also know there is a guy who is a service advisor at the Malden Mitsubishi dealer, and I think one more member (Forget the name it's TSi-something) is the parts manager at Danvers mitsubishi.

you could check out the green lighted list thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=green+light of good mitsu dealers. it is not very long yet, surprise surprise, so maybe check the black listed thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=green+light and use the process of elimination. that one is long ofcourse.

Yeah - that is the place in Natick and I did talk to Brian - they had a red '05 VIII on the lot. He never called me back.

I am going to call Malden - see what up before I drive there!

Let me shoot one of the mechanics I know at HC a PM and see if he can rush the process on.

Off Topic: I see you have done quite a bit to your car since we last talked, how is everything working out? I trust you enjoy it, although it is no Grand National

The car is running great! The only problem has been with the crap TurboXs dual stage boost controller! It holds boost for crap and spikes like crazy. I just ordered a Apexi AVC-R, I am sure that will control the boost properly.

I bought my 05 w/SSL from Central Mitsu in Raynham. Very simple transaction. Myself and a friend went in, said "we'll buy two cars, just want a fair deal, NO BS"...We ended up walking out with two evos, both around invoice with no haggling. I know the performance specs of the evo, I didn't care if the salesman did or not. We also specified that the cars not be driven (6 miles/ 3miles) once we had signed the contract. They happily honored our request, and let us drive next door to fill up the tanks before we left! Give them a shot..If you do buy one make sure they don't let the detail shop put tire dressing on the tires!

Talk to Doug Foster, good dude. -Gabe
