So I was thinking about buying a 03 to see how low of a price I could get. So I called up 4 dealers around the area libertyville, schaumburg, Roesch. So I was calling around as I didn't feel like wasting my time if teh price was still over 30k... so As I am calling I first say that I am lookign to buy before the end of the end of the month, I have a fico score middle of over 780 ( I am a mortgage broker so I can pull my own credit) tell them I don't want to waste there time or mine. So I say I want 27500 (will pay up to 29k no more) out the door. seeing that the car is for the most part one year old and used ones are selling for around 25k. So the guy comes back at libertyville says he has sold over 26 evo's so far adn that if I wnat to get into one it is going to cost 35k out the door... I was like ok thank you for your time. next up is Schumburg, I ask the same things the guy quotes me 33k out the door this time I am like come on these is a year old model what is the best you can do cause I am serious about buying if the price is rigth i will be there in like 10 mins, the guy comes back with 32k as the best he can do so I am like thanks haev a nice day. next up was Roesch. the best price so far of 31k to make this long story shorter is there stealership that is willing to come down or do they not take phone calls as real calls as a person that will buy? is there some thing that I am missing to getting the good deal as lots of people on here have?

 

I think it's the area....Well, that and you likely come off, on the phone as a guy with $$.

Show up in person at the dealership in your weekend clothes and a fist full of cash. I think you will see different results.

Moving to a Regional forum...so people can give input on the dealerships in the area.

yeah libertyville mitsu is clueless...i went there last summer when i bought mine and they quoted me 10k over sticker right off the bat. i said your crazy i was just at max madsen in downers grove and they will give it to me for msrp. the guys response was and i quote " well this is the north shore " i told him you can take your north shore and shove it. i would say try calling up max madsen they do the most volume in illinois. go to http://www.maxmadsen.com/

 

I agree, I talked to this punk kid at Libertyville who actually drives an Evo (mommy and daddy's car probably) and he quoted me $2000 over MSRP in October. He was telling me these stories of how he's beaten every car he's raced on the street so far. "wow I'm impressed." A guy just posted in this forum that he got a good deal down at Roesch in Bensenville. Those guys quoted me the same price too, but at least they were professional. As for me, I got a great deal at Schaumburg, and so far good service. Here are my tips:
1. Go in person for the price quotes. Dress nice and be knowledgeable about the car. But let them know it's a tad out of your price range.
2. Buy at the end of the month. These salesmen need to hit their quotas, so if it's the last car on the lot on the 31st, you know you are going to get a good deal.
Good luck!

 

thanks for the quick replys I am looking to get an evo but not sure if I should hold off for MR or try to get a great deal on an 03.??? I wish I new what to do

 

33 out the door now on an 03 that is weak as hell. you talk to biggers in elgin yet??? I got mine for 31 out the door LAST JULY. brand new 8 miles on it, still had plastic all over the interior. pm me if you want more info on who i worked with over there im sure he could do the same for you, hes a friend of mine. no hassle or BS either. i walked in told him in looking to order an evo whats the best you can do. he gave me about 12-1300 under MSRP last summer on the first quote. i know he leads that dealership in evo sales with over 20 sold. last summer people were lucky to get one for MSRP much less under. either way PM me if you want.

 

got mine for around 28,800 with carbon wing and sunroof in schaumburg exactly 2 months ago 2day. pm me and i'll give you contact info.

 

LOL His name is Eric Scharlow! I bought mine from him...and now he and the ex-finance manager won't give me what they owe me. Screw them and their service center. I have had so many problems with them in the last year...I won't go to them anymore. OH...btw...it is his Red Evo. ANYWAYS....they tried to stick me with the 10k over too...I walked and they dropped it and I got my EVO back in may...but...it was slightly over what I wanted to get it for. If I could do it again...I would NOT have gone there.

 

Call Larry Roesch in Bensenville ask for Herman Vasquez (630-860-3100) .. i bought my mine for $27k ($28,800 out the door after taxes) I got a Tarmac Black with wing, no sunroof. He will extend this deal to anyone.. call him over the phone and simply say you want the same deal "Steve" got for $27K.. he will simply go ask for your name and tell you to come in and sign the papers! im not joking.. 3 of my other buddies bought there EVO from him..
If this deal sounds good to you go for it! If you want PM me your phone and ill have him call you..

anyways...
good luck!
Steve

 

Actually, if you goto larry roesch, talk to Sebastian. I called them a while back, asked them if they had black one with wing no roof they said yeah, I said i'd pay 27,500 (including $600 destination) for it, they said ok. told him what rate I wanted financing wise, and they did that for me as well, did credit app and trade in over the phone too. Just went there, took the crap outta my old car, put it in the new car, signed the papers and left. Was in and out in around an hour and a half (would have been less had the guy in the business office not been busy with end of day stuff) Give them a call, im sure they can do the same for you. They had a silver one in front of the showroom when I was there yesterday.

 

Akira,
could of saved yourself $500 as i and 3 of my friends got theres for $27k (destination and fees included) from Herman..

oh well have fun! i got a black one w/ no roof too


Steve

 

Looks like I am going to go shopping this week hopefully I will be in a new evo by end of week.

 

hehe yeah I spose I could have saved 500, but whatever, over the course of 60 months thats like 8 dollars, so not a big deal.

 

Hey DeacOn!
I live in the Palatine Area too! I have a white evo and if you're looking for a place to go buy an Evo Larry Roesch is the place. I have a business card of the person i bought mine, and i'd be gald to send you one. they won't let you down. They have 2 evo's in stock the last time i was there (4/17). They do a good job and they conquered my every request. Hit me back a reply it'd be nice to meet you.
