Sam contacted me about some good lease deals. Honestly, I'm not liking what I see at RC Hill. They have the price for a GSR with SS package for $33,565. I'm fine with that, but their OTD price is $37,537.13. They're adding taxes for my state which is $2,133.13. They have $1,839 in total dealership fees. Their dealer fee is $699 and the other fees are apparently in finance and destination charges. My credit union is going to be sending me a check for the full amount so I don't know why there's a finance charge. She offered to take off the finance charge of $349 if I secured my financing with her. Seriously?
I think I may purchase a new STi sedan. I was quoted $33,500 for one with 7 miles and the only fee would be a $264 dealer fee. I would pay taxes, reg., etc. in my state. Or I might just go with Sam at Southcoast.

They advertise their prices including many discounts that not everyone qualifies for. They drawn you in with a "too good to be true" price. Then you find out you don't qualify for like 3 or 4 of the discounts they included in their price. They also don't tell you that their documenting fee is $785, or at some dealerships, their price doesn't include the destination charges.
There used to be (not sure if there still are) multiple threads on evom complaining about these tactics.
Look people, dealers aren't dumb. They're going to make money one way or another. If it sounds too good to be true, it's because it is! Any automotive website has a tool out there and will tell you what you should pay for a car. None of them vary by much more than $1000. So for those of you surfing the website of every dealer in the country, trying to save thousands, please save yourself the time. Dealers aren't dumb. If they offer some crazy low price, they're going to make money some other way (like back end fees). If they offer you an outrageous number for your trade, they're going to make money some other way (like making you pay MSRP for the new car). You're not going to find the out the door price of a new Evo vary more than a couple hundred bucks no matter where you go.

Keep in mind, I'm listing these prices using my area code. The main point is that none of these prices vary that much. Prices are on a base model.
Truecar says $34,530
Edmunds says $34,156 (however, it should be noted they have the MSRP listed at 34,695, which is inaccurate)
Autotrader says $34,695
MRSP for a non-black, base GSR is $35,545 including destination fees.
(Phantom Black has a premium paint charge)
Not a lot of variation there.

But yes, Dealers will always make their money. No matter how much it is. There is an invoice price they finance to acquire the car to put on the lots. At MSRP which is suggested price is already a profit. Then add all the magical enchanting things like Doc fees, etc is and the so called downpayment is icing on the cake.
My very first Evo purchase back in '03 (wow 10 years), the salesman stated that he made only $50 on the sale which was already split up with another salesman
Good Luck!

Ask for an itemized list, in writing, of all of the discounts that are included in the advertised price.
I can assure you they don't sell too many of them where the customer get every single discount listed.

im in the market for a evo. im looking for a 2013 WW GSR with Navi and SS. ive made the calls of all the dealerships in socal: Puente hills, Anahiem, HB, South Coast,Cerritos and glendale and it seems like no one wants to sell a car. ive tried contacting Sam from South Coast Mitsubishi, several times and several different ways and hes wont return my messages or calls so he's no help. The lowest price ive gotten from a couple dealers is 37,500 OTD and since ive gotten that from a few it doesnt seem like that's a competitive number just a "lowest we can do" story. Any help?

I would avoid South Coast at all costs. They use typical sleazy sales tactics (which is to be expected). But they were also COMPLETE A**HOLEs to me and my dad over the phone. Like total jerks for absolutely no reason! No wonder they have an F rating by Better Business Bureau

Perhaps not truly evo related and I apologize for that but a ralliart with nav and touring for msrp (34.7k) doesnt seem right to me. Considering that seems close to some deals here for a gsr.
Thoughts?

^ don't compromise... if you really want a Ralliart, get it. But if you want an EvoX & don't want to pay for the premium... get a used EvoX.
