Um, yeah. So far I've been quoted MSRP and no less. $600 in travel expenses to fly down to Cali and pick one up is starting to look pretty enticing

I am looking at possibly buying an Evo in SoCal (fly down, drive back up) and save myself a few grand.

The one thing holding me back is I'm not sure how California Evos are different. I know on some cars that cars sold in California are detuned to meet CA emission standards (vs. the Federal emission standards).

In other words, is there any difference between a CA Evo and a FED Evo?
Log on to SoCalEvo.net Theres a lot of info there about what dealership gives the best deal and I think is HB Mitsubishi.

heres threads about south coast mitsubishi and heres a thread on huntington beachhttp://www.socalevo.net/index.php?op...&topic=18757.0 i would only go there if you can get in direct contact with Sam from SRT Motorsports who is a broker for SC and has a relationship with the owner, anyone else than him i wouldn't waste my time. The owner of South Coast himself screwed me out of a deal a few months back, and after that I went to Huntington Beach where Tom, the owner, met anyones price plus gave a way easier experience overall than any other dealership. You can't go wrong with either Tom or Sam, just read up on peoples past experiences.

I can vouch for Tom at HB Mitsubishi. I have never met Sam. South Coast also tried to screwed me over more than once. Give Tom a call or E-mail he will take care of you and you can eliminate the possibility of a bad experience.

My preference is Huntington Beach Mitsubishi. But I hear South Coast Mitsubishi is great also. If you go to Huntington Beach, talk to Tom and tell him you were referred to him by Evolutionm.net members.

Another good thing is that South Coast and Huntington are ony like 15 minutes frm each other! So you can check out both...

Is'nt it the other way around? More demand= higher prices, because supply lowers... and lower demand = cheaper prices because more supply? I might be wrong, but I thought the business side of it was, if your prices are cheap and u get alot of customers, you can raise the prices and lower the amount of customers so that you work less and earn just as much, if not more.

Panges - that's not true lol. Sirloin is talking about macro economics. On a general scale, the economy does function like what sirloin describes. When you get down to individual cases, it may be different. But as a whole (macro), he is right.
