To the best of my knowledge I don't think you can get the Sunroof and Leather package without the Sight and sound as well. The SS package includes HID lights, Fast Key, 6-CD in dash head unit, and 710 watt Rockford Frosgate speaker system.

The touch screen head unit is the Navigation Package which is completely separate. Your better off saving the money and getting an aftermarket head unit that is much better and 1/2 the price.
Oh ok I figured that SS would be a touch screen navigation. But yea, the one I test drove had a sunroof & leather interior without the touch screen nav.

When purchasing a new 2012 Evo X MR from the dealership, is there anything I can look to try and talk the dealer into adding/giving or cutting from the price? Maybe a price negotiation of some sort.

Also, can I literally pick out what exactly I want in the Evo from the factory or do I have to purchase what they have in stock? Thanks for your input.

You can pick different options packages, but not individual things. My advice to you is do some more research, go on Mitsubishi's website and analyze the different packages and see what fits your needs/budget.

As far as getting the best price, I was told there aren't any rebates/incentives so your only chance really is to negotiate.

Best of luck to you.

I think your best bet would be to look at truecar.com for your area and try to negotiate using that as a guideline...and bring it with you...I take delivery on June 9th and I'll be doing that myself...as far as pick out what you want...you can pick options...basically if you go to configure an EVO on the Mitsu site those are the options you can choose. I did that and got exactly what I wanted...just an FYI it takes 3-4 months to come in from Japan.. I ordered mine in Feb/Mar and it hits stateside the 24th of this month and will be at my dealer on the 6th of June....good luck

Yea I ordered mine last week and I feel like I've been waiting forever. The sad thing is I've still got a long way to go. I guess good things really do take time

Thank you for the advice.

As for picking out options and all of that, I will need a car soon. I cannot wait months to have one arrive from japan.

3-4 months seems kinda long, I was only quoted 4-6 weeks, I really hope its not longer. I have yet to get the final arrival date tho . Anyone else that ordered their evo, how long did it take you to receive it?

If you order one to be built for you, it will take longer than 4-6 weeks. When they put in the order for me, They placed the order in late September/early October, didn't see it until February. Then they tried to hit me with a crappy deal. So I walked away.

I would search dealerships near your area to find the car you want. I guarantee it's easier to negotiate on a price if they already have the car on their lot waiting to be sold than if you were to order one from them.

If you order, they know you want to buy the car immediately. Whereas if you go check out ones they have on the lot, you can haggle with them easier.

I agree with that dealers want to move whats on their lot. The only problem I had is they didn't have the color/options I wanted on the lot and the closest one was 2 states away. After transportation the price was significantly higher than ordering one. But if your not dead set on a certain color and options I doubt this would be a problem. Being picky does have its drawbacks

What's the best way to check dealerships inventory of what I want? It seems to me that most of them have GSR's; I found one MR and it's not the color I want.

go on autotrader or cars.com and search. Then narrow it down by color and trim.

I would say White seems to be the most common. But Evos in general are pretty uncommon so I would just get what you like the most. Just add a nice set of rims and other things to truly personally the car.
