Here's a possibility... this dealer doesn't want to sell the car.

Think about it. There aren't a lot of Evos to go around. Some dealers can't say when they'll get another Evo in. So they jack the price up to the point where nobody will buy it. It stays on their showroom floor, right where they want it, and they go on selling their high-profit SUVs like they've been doing for years. And each customer who comes in and looks at an SUV takes a look at the Evo and the price sticker and then feels mighty good about themselves when they negotiate $1000 off the MSRP on their Montero.

And who knows, somebody just might walk in and pay their wild price, and they're fine with that too.

Nope this is not the case at all. My friend 323iT lives about 5mins from this dealer and visits it frequently. The salesman told him that they are desperate and need to get rid of the car. It's been nearly a month now. They are getting other one in and they don't want to have two EVOs at once at the dealer.

They know how to get rid of the car: four letters, M, S, R, P.

$30 for each five wheel locks, adjustable air suspension would explain the high price

How many of you people have ever gone into a dealership and wrote a check for MSRP. How many of you have purchased more than 5 or so vehicles? Just asking because, if you have then you no doubt know the game. As a business, if we asked a fair price on the accessories, some goof ball would offer us 1/2 the price listed or say they dont' want it and take it off. I have done it both ways, put very competitive prices on accessories and put some pretty out there prices. Just realize, it is all about what the dealer has IN THE CAR or what they own it for. The rest is pretty insignificant. If you like the vehicle and the accessories, make a fair offer and leave it at that. The dealership has the right to conduct business anyway it deems appropriate and you guys don't have to agree but don't need to slam the dealers as idiots, etc...and attempt to keep them from selling the vehicle. There are some very good people that need to sell vehicles to put food on the table and they should not be lumped into the situation because you don't agree with the dealers pricing practices. Just my two cents worth.

Wow, that's nuts. For $40K, I could buy an Evo at a decent dealer for $28,500 and STILL have $11,500 left over to buy a catapult and enough cattle to fling bullsh*t at this dealership for weeks on end. Tards!!!!!

ROTFL......

Now That is truly funny. I think we should take up a collection and just buy the catupult and cattle. We could take turns trailing it around to these IDIOT Dealerships.

Thats ofcourse until we get arrested.. HAAAAA

I've bought at least 10 cars in the last 12 years (I know, I know), please don't give us this BS. If they gouge, they deserve to be slammed. That is a pathetic attempt to gouge and I'm ashamed to admit that I went to UC Davis and lived in that town for 4 years.

Since it was stated they have had the car for a month, that means the car is still on flooring so they have very little IN THE CAR at this point. No dealer I've ever done business with pays for the car when it's delivered, they floor it (usually through the manufacturer's credit arm) and pay interest after a set time (usually 90 days, though special programs can increase that). They are trying to gouge a poor, weak minded college kid into paying 2-5x what those parts actually sell for plus mark up. One thing you should remember, these practices always come back to haunt a dealer. Ask the Honda dealers that marked up S2000's $10-15k, now they start at MSRP and fall all over themselves if you express an interest in one.

And we have the right express ourselves. If it looks it a duck, walks like a duck then it must be a gouging Mitsu dealer. That sticker deserves to be slammed and that dealer needs to go back to high school and finish his GED.

Here's some kleenex buddy. You should be ashamed of yourself. Do yourself a favor and don't try to justify this kind of activity in this forum, I doubt you'll find much sympathy here. Just my $1.50 worth.

Go Aggies!

Put food on the table? Be ashamed, be very, very ashamed. Dealers don't have the right to conduct a business that is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading. And don't try to make us feel bad about keeping them from selling their vehicles.....I'll do everything I can to keep them from selling their vehicles. This dealer trickery not only hurts consumers, but it also hurts the honest dealership down the street trying to sell their cars at a fair price.

In all honesty, I could care less how much this dealer charges for his evo as long as he's upfront about it.....eventually, this dealership will die out w/ the efficiency of the market. But don't play games with people and try to scam them out of their hard earned money.

Idiots.
