Are dealers discounting the Evo?
The only reason you'll get a discount is the fact that it's end of the year and dealerships who are below will be scrambling to make quota.
At this point quota bonus is more important than markup, hence the fact that you can sometimes get a car below what they paid for it.

End of the year deals. I got my MR discounted $2000 off MSRP. and MSRP isnt
$36 and change any more. MSRP for the MR is $34. If your cool with your salesman ask if he can put you on the VIP program. Extra discount for Employees, Friends and Family. Got a CRAZY DEAL on a GG MR with 25miles on it. Makes the car more enjoyable when you know you got it cheaper then usual.

The bottom line is if you're paying more than invoice you got ripped off.
I paid $200 more, but by that point I didn't care and was sick of looking, driving from dealer to dealer and dealing with the scum bags, so I just brought from the sales people I actually liked and paid $200 more.

Being that I work for a high-end car dealership (Porsche/Audi/VW) I think it's funny that everyone says, "shop, shop, shop". That's not the best way to go about it because all you do by "shopping" is make the salesperson you are dealing with (who doesn't get paid to hang out with you, we work on commission you know 
) angry because you, more likely than not, will not buy the car from him no matter how good of service he provides you. MOST people will drive all around and the last place they go, they'll buy the car just because they're tired of going all around and the last place already knows what you want and what they have to do because you've been around the block and back. INSTEAD of doing this, how about trying the honest approach with your salesman. Let them know you're ready to buy a car, and intend on purchasing from them so long as they're willing to realize that you won't settle for anything less than paying invoice for the vehicle knowing that you're familiar with the market. If you have to show them a reference point, don't be afraid to show them links online to dealers that advertise. They will remind you that you are buying the car locally and won't have to worry about shipping and such, and will also tell you it's a long drive to x, y, or z for service if you ever have a problem. SERVICE is something EVO drivers should value. I say you're much better off building a relationship with your local Mitsu dealer, even if it costs you a few hundred dollars more. You will save hours of your time and I promise you your service experiences (again, in most cases) will be much more pleasurable when you take your vehicle to the dealership you purchased it from.
