so went to Fresno Mitsubishi here in Northern California. Well there was like 4-5 evos at the dealership, 1 of them MR, so i go in there after i park my evo(this salesman sees me pull up) and i check out the MR. and he comes to me and starts talking to me about the evo and i told him i know alot about evos and that i study them,etc... so he first starts off by telling me its an MR limited edition AFTER i yell to my friend..hey they have 1 MR. Then he goes to the vortex generator and says this draws the air down so i ask him what are they called and he says he doesnt konw so i tell him waht theyre called. then we proceed to the engine bay. he points at the upper IC pipe and says its the short ram intake setup, then he points at the strut bar and says it creates downforce at high speeds. then he says the MR will take out the new GTOs. this is all interesting to me cuz this guy's making me laugh so i act like i dont know anything about evos. so then i go on and ask him things im pretty sure he wouldnt know like the wheel trim of the turbo, whether the bov is recirc or vta, and how the ACD button works. he didnt know any of this. then he finally tells me at the end that its only his 2nd day there. it was just weird cuz this guy was like trying to educate me with false info. oh and the MR was marked up 3500 over msrp

 

LOL, go back and teach that guy a thing or 2. Nobody teaches them about the evo and they can either 1. lie about it or 2. take a few minutes and learn. Looks like this guy chose #1

 

Man I know I would be a really good car salesman. I should apply somewhere.

 

I still remember the day I test drove the Evo. I didn't even go past 5000rpm, but when the turbo kicked in the salesman freaked out, grabbed the ceiling handle, and almost screamed out loud.

 

lol, he didn't tell you that it's the last one in the United States so you better take it right here, right now, and right this second?!?!?! i mean, you're never gonna see one again!!!

 

Hahaha. Salemen are the best. I had a salesman telling me the Evo RS is the EXACT same thing as a Lancer Ralliart. LOL. He said "The Evo RS has a great V6".

 

 

 

Yea i had a similar experience when i went to check out the MR. The salesman told me that they replaced the BOV on the regular evo's with an active center diff. i was blown away.

BTW lets see pics of that r34!!!!!

 

when i test drove the MR (word to the wise never test drive the one you want to buy) i drove the graphite grey and the salesman told me that it could do a 90 degree turn at about 85-90. lucky for me i just happened to know where a turn just like that was so...
when we hit the straight away after doing about 80-85 he was pale as a ghost and told me "i think i shat my pants!" he even made me pull over so he could drive back to the dealership. i ended up getting the white one off of the showroom floor.

 

I did the same before (drove in with my Evo to check out the MR). The saleslady didn't even know there was an MR on her lot. Then later on in the conversation, she's here telling me how many people call her up and ask her about the MR and that it won't be there for long.

 

I've explained the Evo to a new girl at a dealership here (She was helping my friend look for a car, and I was making small talk while my friend was test driving) and the other day I was down visiting my friend by the dealership I got mine from... and so I stopped by to look for posters... I was there for almost an hour talking to sales people about it and show it to them... I love talking about the car... then one guy started trying to tell me the new Eclipse is gonna be almost as fast... He got a magazine... I pointed out, that it proved him wrong.. including his claim that it was gonna be like 40k

 

Dude, the RS's V6 is a torque monster let me tell you.

 

sounds like someone who would add a V to any amount of cylinders thinking it means cylinders, like the evo has a nice v4

 

Evo sell itself....don't really need a salesman to market them to us.
