New buyer to order an Evo...

Hi, I'm looking to get a new Evo8 early August. What are the chances I'll get the specs I want (color and options). Should I order now to get it in August? What are the advantages/disadvantages of ordering a car (I am new to car buying)?

Also, what's this deal on Mitsubishi's website, no interest with extended warranty?
http://www.mitsucars.com/MMSA/SalesEventCertificate

I haven't inquired about that yet, but if anyone knows, is there a catch?

Your color and options will be available. You won't have to order one. I don't know what your dealership is telling you, but the evo is here to stay, and will not be a limited production car- unless mitsubishi is run by a bunch of idiots.

May not be combined with any other financing programs. 7 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty and non-deferred APR financing offers not available on 2003 Lancer Evolution VIII
Didn't read the fine print bro.

Ah...I knew it was too good to be true. My excitement covered up that fine print, hehe. Do you think the Evo8 can be had for $30k out the door? I figured the invoice, holdback, destination, TT&L, and it turned out to be $29126.03.

$26891 (invoice) - $579.74 (2% holdback) + $595 (destination) + $2219.77 (tax) + $150 (title & license) = $29276.03

I read about the BS fees they may attach, like advertisement and floorplan fees, but I refuse to pay those.

To be honest, I could care less about the wing. I do however like a sunroof.

So do you think it can be had for $30k out the door (after tax, TT&L), with sunroof? I mean, dealers really don't pay $750 for a sunroof do they?

Thoe,

Congrats! You'll love the car.

Read my article here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=20399 for some tips on negotiation. You should have no problem getting the color/options you want.

Two sites that are must-reads for the best possible deal:
http://www.carbuyingtips.com
http://www.fightingchance.com

Let us know how you come out....

I finally got one dealer to sell me an Evo8 for $30k out the door over the internet, but when I called him, he took back his offer! Bastard, now he says he won't go lower than MSRP, unless I buy a yellow one.
