Im thinking about a new GSR and Ive been dealing lately with RC hill mitsubishi in Florida. Does anyone have experience dealing with them? They claim to be the number 1 Evo dealer and that their prices are so low already that they dont negotiate more than a couple hundred off the price.

I need some advice on whether I should pull the trigger on this particular evo x.
The good:
car is stock (at least as it sits now)
seems to drive & ride fine
engine bay looks like new
interior in ok shape
clean carfax 1 owner
The bad:
seems like water has been inside the trunk, with water marks visible all the way from the cardboard thingy down to the area under the spare tire. Dealer swears it's from motor oil, i dont think so
Factory front lip spoiler(?) thing is cracked in 2 places, with the cracked pieces sagging downwards.
bad curb rashes on all 4 rims
more surface rust on the underbody than I would have liked. not super serious but this thing has obviously seen some salt
pretty deep ding on top of the trunk that has been badly touched up with a paint bottle.
I've noticed idle fluctuating sitting at a stoplight; is this normal?
Normally I'd look elsewhere but I'm looking at a 2011 gsr with 16k miles for $24.9k.
I can deal with the front bumper and curb rashes but I'm really concerned about the signs of water inside the trunk.
Thoughts?

Thats actually who Ive been talking to. Where you able to negotiate or is it true they dont go more than a couple of hundred off? Did you get them to throw anything else in like wheel locks or oil changes?

FWIW, I've had a few things spill in my trunk like water and car wash soap, which has seeped all throughout the cardboard and below, so mine probably looks the same way.

I did some research after my last post, and it looks as if this is usual for evos and not a cause for concern?

I found a dealer that has a phantom black GSR 2014 with SS+SL+Nav for about 40k
Do you guys it's possible to bring down the price to about 37k with the military rebate? Or do you guys think i have a better chance factory ordering one?

I just got my '14 PB GSR with SS, SL, interior package (shifter and e-brake) & Nav for $40,500 in Chicago. Not sure what the military discount is, but on the car itself, in my experience, I'd say that's a good deal. My '11 WW GSR with all the same packages was $39,500 and I chalked up the increase over 3 years to the more expensive paint and 'inflation', whatever that means in the car world. And isn't always more expensive to custom order one?

As far as ordering goes, i know that i got a quote from a dealer for the new 2015 sti 2k under invoice so for 34k instead of the invoice 36k. So i guess it depends on the situation.

Is this an Evo that is listed @ a dealer in Northern NJ? If so, I was going to check out this particular Evo as well but, I figured that it is too good to be true so I decided not even tempt myself. Sounds that there could be more damage(water) to the vehicle then the dealer is aware of or is leading you to believe.
. So whoever is considering this car, beware and factor this into your offer price!

Can anyone tell me if this is a deal to take.
So i have a 2012 ralliart that i bought for $28k in 2013 so it was 1 year and it was with 9k miles. I know this is a horrible deal but it wasn't my choice.
Now with 25k left to pay for the ralliart and it's kelly blue book max value at 19k.
Trading it in for a new 2014 evo x gsr 8 miles for $600 a month with a $7000 down payment.
If we do this deal the sales guy said he would get rid of the 6k difference between the ralliart and it's loan
