You actually weighed it yourself? That's odd, because on other threads, the consensus was a total weight savings of only 4-5lbs. You saved 11!? Wow. That's not too shabby. What brand bar did you get and where did you order it from?Thanks!

Yes, I bought it from Stoleman. But I think they probably inflated that figure. I only know of 3 RS's that came from there.

That's power at the wheels, but this dyno traditionally reads a little higher than the Mustang dynos. For a stock Evo, 220-250 bhp is the norm.
Is there a reason why you spelled it "Stoleman" instead of Stohlman? I thought they were straight shooters... They even picked me up at the airport. Only problem I had was a high school kid working there over the summer accidentally filled my Evo up with 87 octane.

Why are you selling yours?

Anyone recently buy one? I told them that the 05's were coming in a few weeks, but he still wouldn't sell me the 04 RS! Just curious b/c the finance manage told me if anyone bought an 04 RS for anything lower than 26k that they were lying (of course i dont believe him) but i wanna get the best deal i can, thanks... Sorry for the semi hijack, but if i do get this car, i will be posting here too. PM's would be best.
He's lying. I paid $24,400 for mine after the $500 owner loyalty rebate. Another forum member just got the steal of a lifetime: $23,998 for her's without the owner loyalty rebate. Since the 05s are coming out, the dealer is probably getting some extra money from the manufacturer for the 04s that are lying around the lot. That's just a guess.

You may want to go to www.mitsubishicars.com and click the "Find a dealer" link. You can then search dealers by state and see if any other dealers have the RS in stock. That's how I found mine. It was a good 4-5 hours away, but it was well worth it, especially since my airplane ticket only cost me $49.

Good luck bro.

It's the same one as in the Sport Compact Car June 2004 issue on page 70. I got it from BDJ's Racing in texas. Cusco makes them, they retail for around $400

Thanks for the info, i have been calling around, and a local dealer that i contacted actually still had some brand new 03' evos in a warehouse in Houston lol. But still wanted 27k for one of those.... I'll see if this local dealer gives me a call w/ a better price, cause i know there isn't another RS w/in 200 miles of here! Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the info bud. Did you actually put the stock bar on a scale and it weighed 13lbs? I just can't see it being that heavy...

Definitely don't buy a leftover 03. Those are already two years old now with the 05s coming out! Buying a leftover 04 that's a year old is bad enough as it is...

If you want to travel, I know of a dealer in Baltimore that has two 04 RS', one in red and one in white. At last check, they were at $200 under invoice. That's about $25,500.

Later,

Marc

I... have some history with Stoleman I got a good deal, and never went back. They messed up my paperwork and I was still cleaning up their crap a month afterwards.

Looking back knowing what I know now, I would never buy from there again. Their service is terrible.

I believe the only reason I got treated better than most people who went there was because the first words out of my mouth were: "I would like to put a deposit down on an Evo."


I am selling because I'm leaving the country. I'm very sad to let it go. I'm trying to find a way to bring the car with me if I could.

I have a red RS. I love it. So far, I have a Kenwood MP3 player with Alpine speakers, Buschur Racing air intake, Buschur Racing MBC (not yet installed), VDO Boost Guage (not yet installed), HKS Type-1 Turbo Timer (not yet installed), and Perrin Antenna. I'm out of a job right now so I won't be able to mod for a month or so. However, I'm planning on getting a 15% tint on the windows, HELIX 3-inch downpipe and test pipe, Dynoflash/SAFC/UTEC/XEDE/EMS (whatever comes along that I can afford), Kartboy short shifter, and AMS Cat-back once I get more cash flow. I can't wait to crap on some vettes.
