MSRP was $35,682. They gave me $7k for my 2004 ralliart trade in, and it only kbb'd at $6400 and needed some minor body work done, so that was a win for me. I still owed 1450 on it. I got 0% financing for 60 months. And I got the car for 29100. Thats over $6.5k off MSRP, plus 0%, plus overpaying on my trade by +$600. I know I could have got 10k of at Serramonte or Kenny, but the shipping would have made it the same and taxes would have been higher by about $500 due to the untaxed trade-in turning into a taxed down payment.

On my old ralliart, I was paying $390/mo. On my evo, I'm paying $425/mo, both 60 months. WELL WORTH IT

As for how I did it: DO YOUR MATH FIRST! Have a line-by-line of how you want it to work out. Find the deal you want elsewhere and express that you are willing to have the car shipped in, or travel to get it (I actually was willing, but if your a good bluffer, it'll work out for you). Do a side-by-side line-by-line with their deal. Show exactly what they need to do to get you in the car. Double check ALL your numbers. One mistake and you'll get tailspun in confusing math tricks. Expect the typical sales show and dance where they say they can do it, get you in, try to get you attached and feeling like the owner, and then they 'misunderstood' and try to get you to agree to a bad deal on paper. Don't budge! Even after all the work, be able to walk out. Even if you kept them open +2hrs late. Just keep referring to the better deal. Say it doesn't make sense to over pay just to save a few days of shipping and some minor effort. I ended up going from moving all my personal stuff out of my trade and into the evo and going for a drive in 'my new car' while waiting for the paperwork to get done, to going back home in my RA that night because they 'misunderstood'. It'll be frustrating on both ends, but it pretty much HAS to be done. For reference, they wanted to only give $4k under MSRP without 0%.

The next day, mail them again and give them links to other deals to back up your position and show you're not crazy (they called me crazy and told me i'm trying to 'steal the car' lol). Suggest they contact their regional manager and see if he can help them make the deal happen. For me, it worked like a charm Corporate kicked back some cash to them to get me in the car. I didn't quite get the full $8k + 0% like I could have with Serramonte or Kenny's deals, but I would have had to pay shipping, and I probably wouldn't have gotten as good a deal on my trade at Carmax. And the trade value turned to down payment wouldn't have been tax-free! That covers the additional $1500 and them some!

Either way, I'm stoked

Thats the advertised price, not OTD price, you think I could get it for that OTD price? I wont be eligible for the 0% which blows royally but there's nothing I can do about it. I am only 22 and dont have the history, its got nothing to do with my past being bad.

I may go through my credit union instead of MMMA for financing, I can get 4.5% through my CU. Also, if I dont finance through MMMA are they less willing to deal since they arent getting the interest?

Nice to hear people are still getting good deals!

Hell I remember seeing tons of evos sitting on a lot for 3/4 a year (probably a year by now). With the mpg these things get and the way the economy is continually tanking and the price of gas inevitably rising, people are re-considering (more evos for us )

Like others have said, you will NEVER get another chance to buy a brand new Evo X for thousands below invoice with 0% APR for 5 years. The stock really is running thin on remaining '08s and to get the color you want, you really do have to act soon.

If you're all about the RR, you still have plenty of time. If you want only WW, you've missed your chance months ago, and even then you didn't stand a chance at getting the same awesome deals. In that sense, the WW isn't one you had to rush on since you weren't missing out on a huge price cut.

If you're looking for GG, PB or OB, make your decision soon or you really will be missing out (from what I've seen, AS still have a lot of stock left and RR are abundant).
