hmmm as you guys can see there are ups and downs to each choice....
are u sure that the HID option is only 1,000??? When I went to the Mitsu dealer asking if they could put HID on the RS they said they would sell the parts to me, but they won't do the labor because it supposedly took them 16 hours to set up the leveling and everything on the interior

I think the stipulations of the Graduate discount are:
Have to have graduated within two years of purchase....OR be less than 1 year from graduating!!!
And the Government Fleet discount stems from being a government employee. If you have a direct family member that works for the government then you qualify. Basically the dealerships consider the government employees a "group" and is sort of like getting a group buy discount. Most any dealership honors this discount. They treat it as if one group bought a whole ****load of cars....you would give them all a discount.
Has nobody tried the government discount??? I talked to a couple local dealerships that said they would honor both on the Evo

you would have to change out or add to the electrical wire harness for the oem HID's. one dealer in the bay quoted 2600 for the install. i've read on these boards that some people were quoted nearly the same. so not worth it for hid's. get the evo with hid's or put on aftermarkets. maybe you can buy the light housings for hid's then add aftermarket hid's. then again, you'll be paying a boat load.
so get the car with hid's already in them.

Just get the GSR, the MR is for bench racers who buy into the Mitsubishi hype. The Halogens are good enough. Same with the roof and VG, come on now don't be a sucker.
