cherish all the time you have left with your evo. Meaning cruise the whole night.

I think burnouts and donuts are in order

Ive heard that dealerships have 3 days to finalize financing after u take the car.

Id let them take the car -- f**k them, if you bought this Evo you can find another one...

You don't get it. Keeping the car screws the dealer because Mitsu is not writing the loan at 0%. Dealer either has to beg and hope or eat the financing on the car. They are not making a profit, they are getting screwed.
I used to work at a dealer and am pretty sure there are now laws against this practice.
I know in NJ you can't release a car without verifying insurance first.

Yep, timzcat hit it right on the head - it's their own fault and legally you should get to keep the car if you want to. I actually worked for GM for a little bit (ugh what a terrible company / job that was...) and I mainly worked with warranty / service related stuff - nothing sales related. Even though I couldn't do anything about sales issues, I would hear about them all the time. There was one that is just like what happened here, and the dealer f**ked up bigtime and gave this guy way too good a deal. Anyhow, the guy called to let us know that he was not going to give it back and if it was repo'd he would get a lawyer, etc. etc... Just thought I'd share that little story since it is somewhat related.

Really sucks to hear it happen at a Mitsu dealer...

Do you want the car ? I mean you basically have the oppurtunity to screw them over with 2600$ in charges. thats eating away at that profit that you were reffering to . I say keep it tell them to go **** themselves and take it for service there all the time with a smile on your face and god help them if they do something wrong to your car because then its premeditated. teehee

I guess i missed that fact. My view of the subject has changed. I would fight the dealership it is their problem not yours

This is the exact reason why it is so important to read every line in the contract. In the contract I signed, it states that if they can not find financing within the first 10 days, the dealership has the right to rescind the contract. Which basically means that they can take the car back, or re-negotiate the terms.

This happened to me with my Eclipse. They wanted an additional $3,000 for a down-payment because the bank thought the payments were too high.
If I were you, I would take the 5%, and never go back to that dealership.

Believe it or not, this is a common practice among quite a few different car companies, not just Mitsu.

It hella sucks though, coz it gives you a false sense of ownership. After I came up with the additional money, I was still hesitant that they would try to change the contract again. A year later I traded in the Eclipse for my Evo and raised hell that I refused to sign that part of the contract. I wanted instant approval before even signing anything.

true.

same thing happen to my boss on his sl55, they called him like day later saying he doesn't qualify for the car and he needs make a certain amount a year to qualify. i dunno, some bs but my boss just laughed and said it's your fault and I signed a legal binding contract that you agreed on.

ha ha. He would at least want to make it back to the dealership with the car. If he destroyed it the might make him keep it

Reread, and the reread your contract. Mine with mitsu says the only thing they can come after me on is if i owe more on my trade in than i told (or my bank told them). It says nothing about them not able to meet the financing that they agreed to. Unless you miss some payments and they repo it, i would not be handing it over. It their **** up, let them sort it out

saywhen

Let me guess 8k down on sticker was about 25k at 5 years 0% with 7% tax payment about $446 if they are willing to take 2k more off at 5% just tell them they are 1k away from a deal. 22k @ 5 years @ 5% is about 444. I would think the dealer would be wanting that over a evo with 800 miles on. Just my brain on Red Bull.
