Customer Incentive for $2000 for EVOLUTION???

I saw at www.kbb.com that there is a Customer Incentive for the Evolution. Click me I think you have to pay Cash for the car. I'm not sure but if I can buy the car for $28000 and pay in full, I think it's a good deal. I still didn't pay in full for the car yet but have a $3000 deposit. I'm picking it up next week. I just need to know if this incentive is true. I will call Mitsubishi tomorrow and confirm it.

there was a thread on this earlier today and i think the gist of it was this, not confirmed - very unlikely - and really cool if true

i found out after I posted it. I really hope this is true so I can save some BIG money. I'll be bouncing off walls if this is true.

I can't say for sure if it's true or not, but I can tell you that the kbb incentive thing has been around for ever, but I've never heard of anyone actually getting it. I went into my dealer back in March with that page printed out and I sat there and showed them where it was listed on the kbb site. They called everyone they knew up the Mitsubishi chain, but never found anything about such a rebate. I think the kbb site is probably wrong, but again, I don't know for sure. I just know I wasn't able to get it.

It is not for the Evo. This info came up about 2 months ago also. And it was said, by an employee of Mitsu who posted here, that sites like kbb.com don't always get the incentive info correctly onto their sites.

SC~ Who's Dad told him that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Go to website. They have a $2000 incentive but if you look at the fine print the evolution is excluded.

The bottom line is these guys are using a condemned practice in the mortgage industry called overage. When a buyer locks in an interest rate and the interest rate goes lower the mortgage broker doesn't tell the buyer and locks them in on the new lower rate but pockets the profits. It's a disfavorable way of making money in the mortgage industry but is obviously alive and well in auto financing. One last quote from bellevue mitsu, I said " I thought cash talked" they said "Not with the evo." Because they make a boatload by pocketing the incentive when u finance. Beware, find private financing.
There is no incentive to be pocketed on the Evolution, because there isn't one. The $2000 rebate is only on the ES, LS and OZ. On the regular Lancers you can choose either the rebate or the special financing, which is 0% for 60 months, or 1.9% for 72 but not both. The Evolution is not eligible for these special rates either. For the Evos we've sold, we've used outside sources for finance other then Mitsubishi, because 9% or so is the lowest available through them. Obviously there are better rates out there for qualified cutomers.
