Know don't you start those false rumors as well.

 

Lets hope it happens!!

 

Dont worry guys, the only people who are quoting 38k are the salesguys at the dealers who make a bigger commission off of anyone willing to buy the car for that much over in the beginning anyway. Just remember, the longer u wait to buy it, the closer to msrp you'll pay, and the less bugs you'll have in it. Screw a salesman, he only tells you what he needs to in order to fatten his own pocket.

 

My brother bought a WRX for $23,300 and the options for cost, which made them about half of what the dealer prices were. And it only took him 3 weeks to get it. I have to give the Subby dealers here in the northwest credit, they gave a great deal. I am hopeing will do the same, thats if they wanna sell cars. Subby was expecting to sell about 15,000 units of the WRX but they sold over 40,000, they got a jump, lets just hope doesnt get greedy and us.

 

car dealerships can mark up any car anyway they want to. I work at a ford dealership in ohio and we still have cobra r sitting on the showroom floor, its priced at $75,000 and they are not budging no matter how long they have to keep the car. Evo' s may be that way and they might not be, but think about it, a limited production car from Japan coming to the U.S. with around 270 hp they will sell every car brought over to the highest bidder

 

I really dont believe it will be limited production. Thats what they said about the miata, and there everywhere.

 

really need to get their acts together cause they're failing businesswise. The least they can do is tell the truth and not disappoint anybody. I'm already disappointed with their current products, for example, Eclipse.

Anyways, that's my $0.02.

 

In 90 when the Miata came out it was hard to come by. Dealers were marking them up over well over MSRP. Also the Miata was supposed to be a $13K car. What happened to that?

 

Umm.. I was only stating what he told me.. maybe it isn't true, maybe it is.. no one really knows.. the truth is, obviously if Evo's are in high demand they are going to jack the price up.. it's not like they are going to have a lot full of them.. no need to get all defensive on my statement when everyone else is saying almost the same thing..

 

New member here. I've been reading for a while, though.

I have owned a WRX sedan since last May. I'm considering the EVO if the price/features are right (it better have AYC at least!). I won't pay over MSRP or much over $30k base for this car.

I am questioning where this $38k has originated. Maybe some of you were quoted some time ago, but I think it is highly possible that some of these dealers took a look at the May issue of Automobile Mag (it's the one with the STi vs EVO comparo and the EVOVIII sketch). In the article, they quote an estimated base price of $37,900 for the UK EVO and $30,700 for the UK STi. The STi price is calculated from the current exchange rate. However, the EVOVII through Ralliart is priced at 29,995 pounds which converts to around $42g's. I don't know where Auto. Mag. came up with $38k (from their asses?).

I am all too aware of the ignorance of most sales people (not all) when it comes to knowing anything about the cars they sell, much less about those that aren't even released yet.

My guess is that some of them saw this article and passed along "estimated" information.

As much I hate rumors and all this fuss and likelihood that the Evo will be overpriced... the more I'm starting to appreciate my 99% decision of getting my E36 M3 next week!

 

>>I work at a ford dealership in ohio and we still have cobra r sitting on the showroom floor, its priced at $75,000 and they are not budging no matter how long they have to keep the car.

Still??

There was one a local dealer for around $69,000 that I guess sold, it was there for a couple of weeks.

Hmm this sounds like a much better deal...

Not defensive at all Bella. I apologize to you if I came across that way. I just like to add a sense of logic and common sense to the rumors forum. That is all. For example, if a dealer is telling you what an insurance company will be charging on a car that isn't even out yet and without any spec's, then chances are he is talking out of his *** and I wouldn't believe one word he says.

Thanks for your info though.

I agree Nolan. Out of the 20 odd dealerships I have called, I would say a solid 10 had no idea of what I was talking about. It was very embarassing for them. The rest just make stuff up as they go along, and try to sound informed. I have so much conflicting information that it is sickening. 5 speed, 6 speed. $30k, $38k. AYC, no AYC. ACD, no ACD. 250hp, 290hp. Release December, release March. Evo VII, Evo VIII. Smaller turbo, bigger turbo. Smaller aftercooler, bigger aftercooler. Blah Blah Blah. It goes on endlessly! I just hate seeing people fall for it.

Are you kidding? Failing business wise? Since '97 Mitsubishi has had a 46% increase in sales. That's number one in the industry. They
are the number one import of choice for GEN X, and Gen Y that's 16-32
year olds. And they've had record breaking months this year all
ready surpassing their forecast for overall sales for '02.
Do you think we'd even have the opportunity to speculate on the
specifics of a low production performance car if they weren't doing
well? I don't think Mitsubishi has lied to anybody about the Evolution.
All of these rumors seem to originate from other sources. You may
be disapointed with their current products, but there are many people
who aren't. Just be glad the car is coming, there will be more details
soon.
