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.

 

Welcome to the machine

I did the gts to evo switch almost 3 months ago and I never regret it

 

Congrats and wheres those pics? Are you in TX? How much did you pay and what dealership? We dont have chit for selection in SA. And the selection here is overpriced compared to other states

 

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.

 

Congrats! Right on for getting the mercury gray pearl, it's badass

 

I love these threads.
Thanks for posting photos. I'm really liking the new style spoiler lip.

 

Love the color
