I have made my decision to buy an Evolution, however, I'm researching and debating which dealership in Florida would be the best place to go to. I'm willing to travel anywhere in Florida, and if you guys could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm looking for a dealership who will not only give me a good deal, but also have good customer service and won't give me ANY hassle when it comes to warranty work. I don't think that's too much to ask, especially when I have 20k in cash to give, along with a trade in. Thank you all in advance.

Clearwater Mitsu was the best in salesmanship when I had bought my car long ago, but last summer the dealership was bought out by Toyo. Service, unknown . . . never took it there. Lokey took over the Mitsu chain.

Brandon Mitsu wasn't willing to budge, but I don't know how they are now. Service is okay. Nothing great.

Courtesy Mitsu played a shell game. Switching figures all around, but the results are the same in the end, just to make you feel good.

My experiences are from early DEC 98, and they may or may not be current mood of salemen or managers.

Thanks for you input. I'll pay the first dealership you mentioned a visit and see how they are. As for the other two, they don't really seem to be what I'm looking for. I come from having an outstanding experience at Mastro Subaru. They have been the best Subaru dealership in Florida for a long time, and have kept it that way.

None of the local dealers here in Tampa accepted my offer. Ended up going to Augusta in Georgia to get my Evo. Brandon finally gave in (on a Silver one, wanted a Black one), but by that time it was too late. Don't get me started on Courtesy . I honestly don't see how they stay in business

i bought my oz at crown mitsubishi, and to honest with you, nearly a year later I still don't like them. BUT, I've always gotten phenominal (sp?) service at their service department. The always try to find a way to cover any problems under the warranty. As far as that aspect goes, they are great. But, my understanding is that you don't have to get warranty work done at the dealership where you got it, you can go to which ever one you choose *correct me if I'm wrong there*

you are correct. Take warranty issues to any Mitsu dealership that pleases you.

service department wise holler mitsubishi in winter park is where i take my lancer still... and i live 2 hrs away in gainesville. their sales department staff is also really cool, i've talked to quite a few of them, and plan on buying my next car there. might want to check them out.

its in winter park near orlando.

Bill Seidle's Mits in Davie (South Fl), gave 2 friends of mine the EVO for slightly under sticker... So far they've been ok with warrantee work from what I'm told...

I visited every dealer in Dade co. Kendall Mits. was excellent to me.Got the car 6 months ago for $27,500!!! I even had a problem with spotting on the paint that wouldn't buff out. I was expecting a hassle when i brought it in.They told me pick a new one off the lot!!I got 3% financing And Last i checked they had every color.Talk to manager Eddie Flores. I have bought about 8 cars in the last 10 years and have never been treated this well!

3% APR . . . you supposed to have great credit, a beacon/FICO score above 720-750 or something.

yea good credit,but finance said, guy at chase owed him a favor!

Got mine from Bill Seidles for 27,200 with wing and sunroof, but I havent been back for any warantee work...

So far so good fellas, I really and truly appreciate it. This is helping me out immensely. If only I could hear some feedback from the guys that had warranty work done.

in orlando sport mitsu on w. hwy 50 is the place to go for service, they are also mod friendly when it comes to warranty and repairs. Talk to Jay "owners son" he even drives a black evo. I dont know hows their sales dept. but whatever you do dont go to fountain mitsu, they suck big time. I dont know to much about holler but they didnt help too much when i was looking for one.
