So I went in today to see if they finally knew about the stock of Evo's they are getting .. 3 total, 1 red, 1 black, 1 yellow ... and actually had VIN##'s. They tell me the cars should be on lot BEFORE march 1st .. (doubt that happens) at the latest. So thats good news I guess ...

Then .. i ask him about trading my OZ in for the Evo (We had discussed this earlier and it was stated that it wouldn't be a problem .. no down needed as I bought my oz like a month ago).
NOW the ***ers change their story. Now, they want a "significant $$ amount down" on the Evo, just because I'm trading my OZ in for it. If i wasn't trading in ... no down. I ask .. what, like a grand .. two? He's like ... more like 5-6k ... you should have seen my face .. totally a "WTF!" look comes over me ... not happy AT ALL.

AND - previously they told me they WOULD NOT be pre-selling the evos. This was from the floor manager ... he told me "on arrival date, it will be first come, first serve" ... and now when I went in they are bragging to me about how they just pre-sold one .. WAIT A MINUTE, WTF! ANd .. they sold the red one, which was the one they supposibly were going to 'ear-mark' for me ... the asshats.

Now I'm pissed. I may just say *** it and not get an Evo for a while .. (or atleast from this dealer) and wait till summer ... then I'll have some more cash and can do something. This means I can put my stereo equip in the OZ .. but I wanted an EVO. DAMIT!

What do you guys think of this? Sound typical of a car dealer? Im posting here to share with ya NW guys .. not the PreEvo forum ...

 

dealers suck dick

 

i agree with dealers sucking, i do business with korum mitsubishi and korum ford hell me and my grandparents buy so many cars from them that the owner of like all the carlots basically in puyallup come and talk to us. but they still wanna rip me off it sucks i was like well i buy lots from you can you help and ther like no 5000 over is what were asking and this is from everyone i talk to i hate this stupid crap. It doesnt matter i guess unless you walk in trow down like 50k and say i want this and theyll jump and thas about it. i dunno jas kinda ranting im pissed at korum

::edit:: it doesnt matter to dealers i guess they just give the run around and wanna fill there pockets cuz the salesdude gets a huge lump of $$$ from the sale

 

It was the same when the WRX came out. Now you can't throw a rock at a Subie Dealer and not hit one (ok, don't throw rocks at Subie dealers, but you know what I mean; I drive past Carter Subie all the time and you can have your choice of color and body style).
But yeah, when I asked about it a couple of years ago they didn't even know the WRX was coming out. Then they wanted $10k over sticker. Um... no.
Just wait a while. If you HAVE to have you EVO sock the money away in an interest bearing account. Forget about it for a while. If you still want one next year when they come out again you not only have your OZ to trade but that money that you put away and forgot about. Plus you'll probably be able to get one for sticker or under. The Sti will be out, maybe you'll want one of those? Maybe you'll have driven an EVO, decided it's not really the car for you (I know it'd just get me into BIG trouble, I can hardly avoid speeding and driving like a maniac in Artemis as it is). Maybe you'll decide to take the money and buy a turbo, etc and make a sleeper.
Whatever you do be sure it's what you REALLY want and that you're not stretching yourself too thin.

 

All I have to say is screw the mitsu of puyallup...those bastards tried rippin me off so flippin bad. Luckily I went to Auburn and got the color I wanted, leather and no haggling for 3 thousand dollars less.... shoot mitsu of puyallup...sorry if any of yous have family there or friends...Steve, your the only worthy person that works there!

 

Yeah i have to agree that most dealers suck ***. you just gotta go in there prepared with all the paperwork and ect. hell I just bought a 02 ford escape last year that was on lot for 26 and got it for 21 after factory rebates. It just pays to do your homework and give , them, the run around. . i myself wouldnt even bother talking to the dealers about the cars unless you are serious and ready to buy cuz most will just fill you in with BS. just my 2 cents.

 

I had the consumer reports in my hand for proof of what the car was actually worth and they still tried rippin me off 4 thousand...I dont think I will ever buy a brand new car again...it basically costed me like 5 grand just to drive it off the damn lot. So no more, no more. Ill wait a year till there is a used one.

 

when i go to the dealer i have cash with me and i wanna buy but they still pull the same thing over and over again. i just dont get it i mean i could drive to tacoma and get the same car for roughly 5k less i got screwed when i bought my ranger cuz i paid 23 for it and now over at titus its only 17 same model with all the trimmings brand new

 

Yeah they do when I put my 500 down to put me on the waiting list they told me that it was only going to be 30,000 but when I got there it was 40,000 I said I will go get a M3 for that price then it went down to 35 which was alright for me i just wanted to take it home

 

rey reece in portland selling their 2 for 33,000

 

Korum mitsubishi is like 35000 for now until the decided to jack the price up more

 

Ya should've gotten that 30,000 price written in writing with the dealers name underneath. They always try n pull that ****

 

i friggin hate all the dealers up here not a single one so far anyways will do anything about the price they just wanna sell for what they ask grrr I really want to get an evo but even at 30K the payments are gonna be like 500-600 dollars a month and they wanna make you pay the 41K price tag

 

And you get the "privledge" of being screwed in the *** every month, without benefit of lube, only IF you qualify for a loan that big. My bank almost wouldn't loan me the money for Artemis because of the dealer's markup- at least that's what they told me

 

**** Emerald man, that's where I bought my OZ. Car salesman are pretty bad, but emerald mitsubishi is the creme of the crop of witless, ******* salesman.
