Just bought a 2010 WW Evo X GSR/SSS

Hey guys,

I just traded in my 2006 WRB STi with full turbo back, DW 740cc injectors, 70mm CAI and Walbro 255 HP fuel pump with 64,500k on Friday for a 2010 WW (Storm Trooper!) Evo X GSR with the SSS package. The keyless entry/start is AWESOME and am definitely loving the stock stereo power.

I will miss my STi but not much... lol. I fell in love with the car right when I test drove a 2008 and haven't looked back. The past 3 days have been a very wonderful driving experience. I have officially come to the Darkside and love it lol. Hope to see some of you on the road or on July 11th if you are around the SoCal area.

Some pics of the STi and new Evo X:

Thank you much! Yeah, if I could have worked it out to keep my '06 STi I would have but I couldn't. With the whp goals I have with keeping the car as stock as possible this was the best choice.

Maybe the manager's bad, I only dealt with Sam and the president of the auto group South Coast is owned by. That "South Coast Mitsubishi? Good or Bad" thread is from 5 years ago, and the other thread consists of 2 complaints... and one of them was you saying basically the same thing you said here. The online reviews sound like typical car dealership complaints, nothing out of the ordinary. One was mad when they didn't give him a bottle of water, and rather showed him the drinking fountain. Another was confused that they didn't go for a low-ball offer. These reviewers are clueless car buyers. I'm not surprised they had a bad experience.

Some people have had problems with them on here for sure, but considering the large number of people on this board that have bought there car there, it's not surprising. If they were "terrible", this board would be lit up. They're even a sponsor here.

I bought my car there. Process for purchasing and shipping across the country was smooth. They screwed up a credit I was eligible for. After the sale I unsurprisingly had trouble getting a call-back to fix it. The president had it resolved in 30 minutes, and I got a check a few days later. Overall, good experience.
