From sitting on their lot for a long time you think?

Yep exactly. I don't know why they just didn't give me a new battery when I bought the car. Did get a supposedly better battery though (an Ultima.)

LOL that's the exact same way I brought my GG MR home, except that I waited extra 20 min for them to bring in the color I wanted from another dealer.

Same thing happened to me; came back the next day for a battery and got an Ultima.

Anyone know, is that now the stock battery for Evos? I know the 2010s haven't hit yet, but just curious if that was "Normal".

6 hours later and hard negotiating....I came out with an EVO X.

Totally unexpected and I partially feel like I betrayed my 8. I loved that car.

Here are some pictures









Nice X what do they cost in your neck of the woods (6 hour of neg)

The same exact thing happened to me, I had a friend let me drive his. A couple of days later I wanted to drive one again so I went to the stealership. A couple of hours later I drove away in this.

Thanks for the all the posts.

I paid 29K for this Evo X up near Sacramento and pretty much took the last EVO in the area. I didn't know that until I bought it.
