Not to sound dumb or anything, but why get a alignment on a brand new car?

In some cases, the alignment is thrown off due to the way the car is strapped down while transporting it to the dealer.

If the alignment is off, I won't know until I take it to a shop. By then I've already bought the car. What will I do then? I can't just drive back to the dealership 200 miles away. Yes, I got a very good deal and can't shop local.

Another dealer just told me all the Evo's are out in dealers, and that they are not ordering or shipping anymore. Is that true?

Check the alignment for sure mine was WAY off,

Left Front camber was -1.6 Right front was +0.4

I made them fix it free of charge. I now have -1.5 both left and right.
