South Coast Mitsu question

So i've been in the market for an 8/9 for a couple of months now. I wouldnt mind buying from a dealer but there arent many with evos. i know that South Coast has a ton but i feel they are really inconsistant with their pricing. My main question is how they are with wheeling and dealing? Are they interested in helping people get into a car they want for "real market value" or are they stuck on the outrageous dealer prices? Any insight would be very appreciated.


Thanks in advance

That is where the fun is. There is always room for negotiation. BTW, dealers are always concerned about their bottom line which is usually to be equitable in their favor.

If you absolutely want to save a few grand, make sure not to talk about financing when you walk in. First agree on the price to buy. Then discuss finance options.

Dealers will obfuscate the true price with silly/random illogical math that combines high interest rates all to make it appear your paying low monthly payments. Also they'll give you interesting stories about people who do well in their careers but end up qualifying for high interest rates only because they didn't own anything huge. Don't be a sucker. If you need to finance, its recommended to figure out what your finance options are with your bank. Then you'll be prepared to wheel and deal.

Oh i understand the process's of getting loans and interest rates and all that good stuff. its common knowledge in this day in age (well should be for anyone that doenst have their head up their *** lol) but my inquiry is more about the bottom line of the price of their cars. Like you said, talk about the price of buying.... before talking about financing...

thanks for your input. very appreciated.

supply and demand. now with so many X and XMR, they actually have a "sale" price to it. if you are looking for IX or IXMR, it is anybody's game or gain depending on how much you want it(used!).

I was in the same boat.. IX SE, IX MR, or X GSR.. Went to south coast.. There are just soooo many evos.. I almost cried.. Anyhow just have Sam take you for a crazy test drive in a new X.. You will be sold.(I was) anyhow. The way I figure it if your going to buy a used car get it off here. It is much cheaper.. However for a new one you can't beat SCM... and 2.9% interest swayed me a bit as well..
