Buying Evo X Need Help Negotiating Price

Tell me about it. I argued for a half hour about it, and finally called the CA DMV. What do you know... I had to pay the CA tax. I've bought cars from UT, WY, SD, ND, MN, and now CA. Which one's the only one who screwed me? California. I pay 3% here. 4.75% x 28,399 = $1,344 extra dollars to Governor "I ran my state bankrupt despite having the richest people in the country living here" Shwarzenegger. No offense to most of the good honest people living there, but that state can kiss my sweet ***.

I am looking at getting a MR and the dealerships in the mid-west that I have called won't budge much below $1k under msrp. I have been told by every dealership that this is a very rare care and they are hard to come by, but all the dealers that I have called have three or four on thier lot. I am just looking at the wrong car to buy? Does anyone know the REAL invoice for an MR?

I am new to the EvoM forum. Currently I am planning to purchase the new 08 Evo X GSR + SSS. I was reading through the, "How much did you get your X GSR for recently?" post and I was wondering how people got their Evo GSR + SSS for less then $35,000 (tax+fees). I have gone to my local dealership, Brien Mitsubishi in Everett, Washington. They quoted me around $35,000 (tax+fees) for a 08 Evo GSR + SSS.
How did you negotiate the price to where you wanted it at?
Can you offer me some tips on how I can get the price lowered?
Anyone living in Washington recommend a good Mitsubishi dealership?

That's what edmunds says...so where can i find the real invoice price. There is a dealer that is sold a MR to a guy on this site fully loaded (navi and body kit) for $38,500 OTD. So that tells me that the invoice is at most around $36k for the car you described. Right???

South Coast Mitsubishi is how.
And is your $35k including TT&L? Honestly people need to quit negotiating on out the door price, because it gives the dealerships way too many ways to fudge the numbers.
Know the invoice price + the price you want to pay. Then know the tax rate in your state (I thought Washington was no sales tax? Maybe that's Oregon?). Then figure that + the fees and negotiate that way.
$35k out the door, depending on the sales tax on cars in your state, for a GSR SSS seems like a fair deal. Invoice is what, $34k, on that combo?

And I think it was worth it, especially considering the $10k mark-ups
they have at the dealership 5mi from me. And that $10k is no exaggeration. Next time I'm there I'll snap a picture. I couldn't believe it.

Hey Manboy,

That is what edmunds says as well. There has to be more hidden mark up in these cars; plus I'm sure that a sales manager wouldn't even let a salesman know how much they have in the car.
