Another "I Just Bought an Evo" Thread

Well, I did it.

After 3 years with the Ralliart, I traded it in on a new Mercury Gray Pearl MR with touring and premium package. Drove her off the lot tonight, the exact Evo I wanted and the dealer got me a much better interest rate.

I will post up pics tomorrow.

First mod needs to be window tint!

I bought the car from Automax in Killeen, TX, just outside Ft. Hood. Don Herring also has a pretty big selection, with dealerships in Plano, Dallas, and Irving TX. If I hadn't closed the deal at Automax, I had an appointment in Plano on Saturday.

I lucked out, found the EXACT Evo I was looking for, color, options, and model at Automax. I paid a little less than retail, but they got me a great finance rate which saves me thousands over the life of the loan, so I went for it. They also got me the $500 military discount, nothing down, no fees for TTL.

Buying a new car is a game of give and take. The dealer has to make money, the buyer wants to save money.

On the flip side, my Ralliart was hit a little while ago (bumper cover was damaged). Automax is gonna fix it, I don't have to pay the $500 deductible...and as an added bonus I went from driving the RA to the Evo and get to skip a payment. First payment on the Evo isn't until 1 July, but my next payment on the RA was 1 June.
