I would not deal with that dealer. I don't care how good a car is but every prospects have a right to have a test drive. That dealer would not even give you much discounts the way they are treating you. Go for another dealer!

Dealer has no demo

I kno that most dealers do not stock a demo car becuase they can't get full price for it.

I even asked to drive any evo they had in the lot and they said there were not any I could test drive.

I have an evo, but they don't like people driving them for testing.

I would like to drive an MR to see what it is like.

I think that's the reason the good dealer near me stocks a demo eveo that has some extras in it, so that not only does it really entice customers to get one, including the extras, but also so they can sell it for more than a normal demo. The other non test drive place near me should just burn down for being rude and generally unpleasant.

Creative, huh? I wouldn't call the name "fatmuffler [sic]" creative just like the pile of **** I produced about 20 minutes ago wasn't creative. Sure I created it, but just because you made something doesn't make it creative.

BTW, to the name-calling. Even in my abrasive posts, I never made any personal attacks. You, however, whom I never even referred to have crossed the line and shown yourself to be extremely juvenille.

People like you should remove themselves from this site. Puerile posts like the one above should not be tolerated.

Call, gets a sales person that seems to know about evos, and then set up the appointment for the test drive. If they don't do test drives they should tell you over the phone, an you won't waste a drive to the dealership.

Check out Commonwealth Mitsubishi. They were GREAT when I went there to purchase one, didnt need to ask for a test drive and worked with me on the trade in value and the price of the car.

FartMuffler- Great name. Not sure who has the better name; FartMuffler or Turd Squirter. I think that we need the Truth Squad to run a poll to which is best. I am going with Turd Squirter by a hair.

Anyways, performance cars need much less test driving than your basic automobile or luxury car. There is more than enough credible and accurate reviews based on cars of performance to make-up your mind without having to test drive them. But, if you still want to test one out, and you have good credit, tell them where to go if they insist on a $5k deposit.



*Above is not a joke. I really like the names!! As for Urban_dk, yes, the pile of **** you made was not very creative. I agree with you. Had you been a cretive intuitive individual like Fartmuffler, perhaps you could have turned that lame pile of **** into something like a giraffe or a frog or may be a little statue of the " hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" monkeys.

That is a joke. The day I purchased my Evo, I walked into the dealership asked to look at the car, and the salesman didn't hesitate at all asking me if i wanted to take it for a test drive.
