FREE MAINTANANCE!?!?! I'M DRIVING UP TONIGHT!!! 
*pant**pant**pant*
I can't believe I didn't notice this thread earlier! South Coast is the kind of place who says they will give you free maintenance for as long as you own the car; and then they will tell you to get lost if you ever go back there after the sale. They are dishonest; unethical; manipulative; and have terrible or no customer service. They lied about interest rates to customers; and I bet you that the free maintenance clause will not be in writing when you go down there. Even if it was on there somehow; they would weasel their way out of it one way or another.
Here are several true accounts from their customers (including myself) /potential customers who came in. It was the worst service I have ever experienced in ANY purchase. South Coast employees always come onto the local forum pretending to be customers; making fake praise reports of their own dealership!!! Unfortunately they get IP traced right back to South Coast Mitsubishi.
1. south coast mitsu sucks man in all honesty. I was promised by the 'general manager' that I was going to be given an evo gsr at invoice. When I got there they marked it up all the way to $32,000 and told me I can't get it anywhere else for that price or lower. I got my 04 evo gsr in july for under 30k brand new the color of my choice. I made the drive from Hollywood because of what he told me. I bought my gsr the following day after he called me again to make yet, another bs promise.
2. Listen to this man. I went there for an inspection on my DSM before I bought it and they quoted me about 3 times what RRE quoted me and for problems that my car did not even have (proven after taking my car to RRE, having them fix the issues, and then driving it just fine afterwards). They told me I had a blown headgasket for no apparent reason other than to gouge me.
I also went there with my girlfriend because she was interested in buying an Evo at the time. The "Evo" guy that happened to be there that day seriously started talking to ME about the car even though she had made it clear that SHE was there to buy the car. He told her and I that the "car wouldn't stop without the special brembo brakes" and horse**** like that. Then he started talking exclusively to me about how "girls don't drive sports cars" well within her hearing range so she walked out and so did I. Those ****s can eat ****.
3. mark mercado was a jerk off also. they were just being too greedy over $25. I already shook his hand and agreed over the price and that's when abbas came over and took the keys to the evo rudely and drove it to the back lot as i was signing the papers. i left and got my evo for under 30k at miller mitsu the following day.
4. Way to represent your dealership. For the record, I went to South Coast Mitsubishi on two separate occasions to try to buy an Evo. The first time, the salesman told me that Brembo and Recaro were both very good Japanese companies. The second time, the salesman told me that I could walk out of there with an Evo (that had 150 miles on it) for $650/mo. for 36 months + my $11,000 down payment. First thing I responded with was I wanted a 5 year. So the salesdude goes "okay how about $630/mo." So basically nearly $50,000 for an Evo IN APRIL OF 2004.
It's your job to try to suck as much money from customers...fine. Your dealership is still full of retards...both in sales and in parts. $3 washers for the oil drain plugs is ridiculous.
5. One of the worst experiences I have ever had. Actually purchased from them
because the car they had was one that I really wanted. Even then, now looking back, I don't know if it was worth it. They had me talking to a salesman, his manager, the manager's manager, crap; even the owner at one point. It was like a flock of shady vultures trying to circle in on some meat. They gave me the car w/ half a tank of gas and refused to fill up the tank, tried to rush me through the door w/out giving me my owners package, tried to sell me the car w/out the floormats and shiftknob ( I had to ask like six times for my darn floormats ). The salesman said that at one point they used to sell evo8s for 10k over MSRP. Youre cool buddy, way to rip people off. Then the owner is diving my car off the showroom floor, he tells ME to hold the door open, then hes yelling and insulting his salesman (whom he is using as spotters) the whole time. They told me the car was brand new w/ super low mileage, so I couldnt test drive because they want to keep mileage low. When i finally turn on the car and look at the mileage, theres 105 miles on it already! That is why they wouldnt let me test drive; because it had so much mileage and I would see that. Seriously, terrible customer service, I've never had an experience remotely as bad as this. Definitely should have gone to HB, and I will never go back to south coast and definitely recommend against it to anyone else.

7. sorry for the venting but these guys really pissed me off. i forgot all about this but the mechanic at south coast lost my keys to my car when he did the pdi. so i had to wait for them to cut new keys. also, the inside of my car was filthy when it was given to me. when i asked "hey, can you clean the car a little better?", my salesman told me that it would get dirty anyways. what a freakin' jack ***!! aaaaahhhhhhhh. i hate those guys.
8. i bought my car at south coast.......i told them i wanted to be in and out as fast as possible and it still took them 5 hrs......and to top it off, they didnt even fill my tank, i had to drive from the lot right to the gas station down the street. They have poor service and their manager thinks he is just a hot shot because he has a ferrari, and doesnt seem like he cares too much about the customer. my .02
Yea the owner is a dick, I went in 2 months later because i didnt recieve my plates, and he totally was totally serious when he asked me if i was ready to trade my evo in........I was almost pissed, they dont even care about the cust, just the sale. DONT GO THERE!!
These are just a sample of the true accounts. There is also a member who is on here; who got lied to about an interest rate that they were going to offer in order to close the sale. He made a thread about it a while ago.

Uh oh... That's not good to hear. Hmmmmmmm... I wonder if I should even bother going up there tonight. Mark seemed really nice on the phone. I've mentally documented everything he told me. Guess I should bring a tape recorder and calculator if I go up there. And if I buy anything. Make sure it's all in wriiting signed by both parties. *sigh* seemed too good to be true.
I hope you wrote a complaint to the BBB or any other concerning agency about that experience.
