No Deal...

I went to the dealer to work something out and they want $36,947 for the White Evo MR which with another estimate of $1000 for both cars to be shipped (the white evo here, the car they are trading there) and another $599 that is required by law if you have a car shipped.

So totaled for the car they want $38,546 not including tax.

Then to the story of my trade in 2006 Mustang GT, which I have invested about $5,000 into so far. They want to give me $24,000 for the car so that they can go ahead and resell it for $30,000. I just laughed when I left, but I realized that I wouldn't be getting an Evo within a week so that just about whiped the smirk off my face.

I'm going to try and sell my car on autotrader.com and if I accomplish that then drive to tampa and purchase the white evo directly from them and pay $36,947 which is sticker. I was told (at least from this dealer) that they will not drop a dime under sticker.

Any other opinions on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Did you go to longwood mitsu bc if you did they suck!! Go to Sport Mitsu on west colonial drive and ask for Mike Rusell, tell him Miguel with the electric blue evo sent you, he is a used car sales manager and will give you more. Let me know how it goes

 

LOL, I sure did. I might take a drive out there, but I really do need a firm $30,000 for my car. I'm not sure what he could do about getting me that white MR and don't think he will be able to handle my trade in.

 

def. sell the car on your own, the dealer will always offer you less than what it is worth, they need to make money afterall.

 

Yeah I know, but it's very hard to wait to get the price you want unlike the dealer who just lets the car sit there and do its job which is make them money...

 

no way you are getting 30k for an 06 mustang

money you put into it doesn't increase it's value my friend

 

AutoTrader should be able to sell your car quick. With my Eclipse, I had a buyer the morning it went up!

 

Holy crap! Who's paying that kind of money for EVOs? Just call Mark Mercado at S. Coast Mitsubishi in CA and have him ship you one for thousands less!

Good grief, Charlie Brown!

 

i advertsied my SRT4 on autotrader.com as well, it took like 6 months to get a serious buyer, other than that I got many calls from wannabe kids wanting joyrides....

 

chaotichoax it does for some people that want an 06 mustang GT and dont want to have to mod the car themselves. That was what I was going to start it out on autotrader but now that I think about it twice you are absolutely right... I basically have no clue on what to start the car out on autotrader. Do you think $28,000 sounds reasonable to start, that's about what I payed for it.

There's 4,800 miles on it btw.

 

"and another $599 that is required by law if you have a car shipped." ? Who's Law is this?

 

Its a state law in Florida, it was on the paper in small type and then added to the total. I don't know anything about it really.

 

longwood mitsu sux for service but i got a good price

 

You are going to take it in the **** on the Stang. Even though I am an EVO lover I would say trading in an 06 is stupidity.

 

Dam, there is quite a bit of evos in my area. Any evo clubs in the area? Do you guys get out to Bithlo, because I see at least 5 evos there everytime I go to the track. One really nice MR ran 11.8 the last time I went.

Also does anyone know when the last produced Evo will be, because I don't want to get a used one and I believe it is August.

Jeff, believe me I know... I know... The reason is stated above. I could wait but I will never be able to get another brand new Evo since this is the last production year for this body style. The Evo X imo is one fugly car and i'm not going to buy it lol. Waiting isn't the problem it's just again the fact I can't get one after August.

I feel everything you just said and my wallet will surely feel it too.
