A slightly different way to look at this is that by the end of your finance term you will have paid $10,000 in interest (at least) or roughly 30% of the price of the car.

Prices vary quite a bit depending on where you live. Higher inventories and more dealerships = lower prices. In IL, for instance, where the inventories are very small and few mitsu dealerships have any IXs left, in my experience is that dealerships were less willing to negotiate. In fact, I couldn't even find a TB in IL and had to drive to WI. With tax, destination, title and other misc fees I paid 35K for an MR in Black. My monthly payments are small only because I put down a large downpayment.

I believe that you could have an IX shipped from South Coast Mitsubishi, which has very low prices despite recent month-by-month price increases. Someone recently posted that SC doesn't allow pick-up by a shipping company without your presence but I have no idea if that's accurate. I believe there are dealerships in CA, FL, TX and WA that have comparable prices to SC.

You may want to act fast, as I would guess that in 6 months, maybe less, it will be a real challenge to find a new IX, and you would certainly have to have it shipped to you.

you need to get that IX for 27,400 like i did, now this was a non SE just reg Evo IX

Damn, I just bought a 2003 Evo 8 for 17,999. 29,190 miles mint condition. I think I actually pissed of the dealer when I bought it....he was like "wow, I should have asked for a lot more"...maybe next time buddy. By the way, the car was modded pretty good too.

For the MR SE 32k would be considered a great deal. For the regular MR 30,500 would be a great deal. I just purchased a brand new Evo IX SE for 28,800 which is an amazing deal. Check Anaheim Mitsubishi's prices because they have killer deals.

yup, i pay over $7000 a year for my evo in insurance alone, luckily we wrote the dealer a check and paid it off that day

down here in MA i was jsut quoted 3600 on the MR se. I think your dealer is jsut trying to squeeze a lot more out of you. Did you check the dealers in cali? THey have really nice prices. I am thinking of going with them.

IF you look at the math they did not really change the price from your first statement of 680 x 72= 48,960. Then they offer you 570 x 84= 47,880....... They did not do a whole lot as far as the price, they just moved the numbers around so you thought they did.

Don't feel bad that is a very common practice among Stealerships!..... Don't let them screw you...... Also, keep in mind that you may qualify for a lower interest rate, however if they can get you into a higher one, they make more money.....

i bought a 05 gsr for 28k 400 a month.72months it has 8k milege on it. is that too much

take a flight out to south coast and pay 33k for an mr se. get your own financing and put as much dow that you can. Then when you get bak home your car will be broken in then you can start modding.

Since this is a hot car and limited in quantity it is all about supply and demand. I wanted mine. $438 a month for 84 months and what not with lojack and the gap and what have you. 2005 with 10K...only mod was a Cwest bumper. I did not want anything modded. That was my preference. Just in case there was an underlying issue from someone screwing up a mod. Sure I put some money down, but after everything (the car came out to 40K) LOL LOL.

I figure I will just pay what I need to, bank the rest, and then dump it on the principle in about 3 years. That is how I have always done it. I just get a high interest rate and long term so it makes my payments lower and then I can pay it off at once in a few years.
