Im new to the forum, but have been very interested in getiing an Evo for a while now - just waiting for the right time I guess. The problem is... I live in Hawaii.

Im at a disadvantage when it comes to the sticker price (the MR I saw was $35,500+). This I assume is because of the shipping right? Is there any way for me to get the price lower? Id be satisfied with an new 03' base model even, but in white.

Maybe I can purchase the car in Vegas, then have it shipped here? What do ya guys think?

Thanks.

 

35500 for the MR isn't terrible actually.

Atleast resale in Hawaii should be good, prob make some money by buying a car from the the continental and shipping it over.

 

How are you at a disadvantage? If you can actually get the MR for 35.5k in Hawaii, then you should. Most of us paid that exact amount here in the states if that price includes the destination charge. Either way, that's nothing like what we've heard from other Hawaii members who claim ridiculous markups on EVOs.

 

purchase it anywhere but here in hawaii cause the only 1 dealership will rip you off..

this is why

 

7 grand "availability adjustment???" ouch.

 

Yes do not do business with Hawaii mitsu. I bought my evo from them and I wish I woulda got one in cali or something and shipped it over.

 

Sorry man

 

42k is a lot... but here in Melbourne, FL, the local mitsu dealer jacked the price of the MR to 45k

 

*shrug* He said, "(the MR I saw was $35,500+)." He did not say, "the MR I saw was $42,500+."

 

Ouch.........So how much would it cost to get a one way plane ticket, and then have the car shipped back? Its got to be less than that........

 

Dude, 7g's over sticker, that sucks. I was fortunate to get my MR at sticker with no dealer mark up and i thought i was hosed. I purchased it in Fort Lauderdale, FL and the dealer was saying that he was doing me a favor. He said that over on the west coast they were marking them up pretty high, and i didn't believe it till now.

 

MR's sell for ridiculously high prices, might as well just try and get a regular evo. remember its the same power and everything. only difference is 6spd tranny and some other tidbits.

 

not sure what he was talking about.??
he is not going to be able to buy a new mr in hawaii for 35k
he must have not seen the dealermarkup

 

one way plane ticket?
a round trip ticket to california is around 600 bucks
to ship from california to hawaii is around 1k
