No thats evo 9 non ssl. Thats the invoice.

 

My mistake.

Thank God for dealers like SC Mitsu and the others who are willing to do business like this.

 

WOW, there must be some sort of misunderstanding on what the word INVOICE means. First there is something called a MSRP or window sticker price. On an Evo IX GSR it should be something like $31800 to $32200. Front end profit on a Evo IX GSR is something like $1900. When you take that profit away you will end up with the invoice price. The invoice price includes things like the real cost of the car from the manufacturer to the dealer, gas, destination, holdback, and advertising fee. Don't expect to touch holdback money from a dealer (your gonna have to try to pry it from their kung fu grip). Especially on a IX. A dealer would have to be absolutly desperate to give it to you.
Remember, none of this includes any rebates like College Grad or Loyalty (rebates may vary from region to region).

 

The STICKER (MSRP) price on the NON-SSL Evo when i bought my IX SSL was just under $32k at Huntington Beach Mitsubishi.

I actually have my window sticker for my SSL IX right here and it is $35,114 (MSRP). The SSL package costs $3,129 so take that off the MSRP and you get $31,985 MSRP. So you're looking at roughly $30k flat for Invoice, roughly.... if that $1900 markup figure is right. (i'll check my sales slip to confirm)

My IX-SSL was $2250 UNDER invoice and was $31.5k roughly OTD with Lojack early recovery ($800)... so I think the number of a $1900 markup between invoice and MSRP is a little low.


I'll dig around for the sales slip for my IX-SSL to get a proper number on markups from invoice to MSPR when i get some time tomorrow since I know I paid exactly $2250 under invoice on my car and didn't get any twisted dealer numbers like salesmen love to throw at you.

Edit: Here is a photo of my sticker (MSRP)

 

Its not called desperate its called doing business. SC MITSU blows whatever dealer you work for out of the water. They are getting shipment of evos in tomorrow and on thursday and they are getting 60-70 of them. Again they sell them under invoice.

Andrewlb, your car had ssl on it. So therefore of course the invoice on yours is going to be more expensive. However, on the non ssl cars they invoice is cheaper obviously. Because SC MITSU deals in bulk they are able to get the evos at a special discounted price from mitsu. This is how they are able to sell them under invoice.

Its not rocket science. SC MITSU is the number 1 mitsu dealer in the US for a reason.

 

You mean to tell me that you paid $31,500 including tax and title on a car that stickered out at $35,114. You either included your down payment on that $31,500 number or the dealer lost thousands to sell you a new Evo IX SSL. I don't think so. Take a second look at your contract.

This is getting stupid. I will post MSRP and invoice of a IX GSR tomorrow afternoon.

 

That is illegal and so not true. They may recieve bonuses from if they sell a certain # of cars, but they don't get cheaper cars. How they choose to use those bonuses is their buisness.

 

Like I said earlier in this thread, I got my car for $2250 UNDER INVOICE because my brother in law WORKS FOR MITSUBISHI. Its a family deal which is only available through employees. The dealer LOST money on my car and was subsequently reembersed from Mitsubishi Corp for the deal they offer to family of employees.

The sticker I posted shows MSRP on an IX-SSL. Remove the $3120 from the big bold price at the bottom and you get the MSRP (STICKER) on the IX-GSR without SSL.

Invoice is then a couple grand BELOW that mark. IIRC, invoice is roughly $3k below the MSRP price on an IX-SSL. I'm not sure if its the same as you'd see on an IX-non-SSL, but I think its similar.

 

Correct. Dealers all get their cars at the exact same cost. Destination charges are one thing that may be slightly different between dealer invoice prices.

But it is true that high volume dealers do get kickbacks from Mitsu Corp for selling tons of cars, but that is not reflected anywhere in a deal you'd get. The dealer pockets that change.

 

Why even bring up your situation if it doesn't apply to the thread starter or 99.99% of the members on the board. All you are doing is confusing other members into thinking that they can get what you got and get pissed off when they go to a dealer and ask for what you got and get booted from the showroom floor with their tail inbetween their legs and get more confused than ever. (run on sentence -sorry).

 

Not at all. I simply posted up MSRP prices of these cars and roughly what the markup was and to correct Warr that the Invoice price on an IX-GSR is NOT $31,399 like he stated. THat price is pretty much an MSRP sticker price.

And stop your flaming. Just because you didn't read the thread with any comprehension including my specific mention that i got the deal through my brother in law, doesn't mean you have to make comments like this. My comments minus my specific deal pertain completely to the original posters questions.

I posted the MSRP price of my IX-SSL, along with a photo showing the price difference between the MSRP of the SSL and the regular IX-GSR. Its pretty cut and clear if you look at the hard facts in the photo i posted up.

I'm done arguing with you. Please do better reading before calling BS on someone in the future. I've posted up the most solid MSRP prices of the two cars we're talking about here and that is 100% relevent to the topic at hand.

 

So in essence what I said was correct. Call it what you want. Your right they do get deals from mitsu for selling a number of cars. This is why they are able to sell the cars cheaper.

 

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! YOURS IS SSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course warr's price will be off. He gave the invoice of the evo 9 gsr non ssl.

 

What you mean ilegal? Why dont you ask the owner of SC mitsu himself? His name is abnes. This is exactly what he told me when I had asked them how come they were able to sell these under invoice.

I guess by doing illegal acts you become the number 1 mitsu dealer in the nation. Hmmm... maybe every dealer ought to do illegal things huh?

 

Yes... they do sell them cheaper than other dealers as far as I've ever seen. BUT.... i still highly doubt those prices are BELOW invoice. There is absolutely no point in selling a car below what the dealer paid for it even if they do get kickbacks. At the most, they're probably going for actual invoice if that thread showing prices for SoCal Mitsu mentioned earlier is correct.

It does highly suprise me that any dealer would sell these cars so cheap and make so little considering how high the demand is. But to be honest.... they probably make up for it in the service department after denying our warranties for anything they can find.
