I'd suggest trying a Bay Area dealer, like Fairfield or San Rafael.

ask to see invoice, then you can actually see thier price and go off the handle for them marking it up over msrp, well at leist then they know you know how much they are trying to rape you

That sucks....I'm going to be in the market soon for a WW IX. Hopefully the dealers around here don't do the same.

I heard back from the dealer that I wanted to leave a deposit with on a lX. They want MSRP Plus 2500.00. I told them thanks, but no thanks. I just don't get it. A company that is in major finacial problems, a warranty policy that is challaged for every claim regardless if it valid or not. Cars, trucks and SUV's that are not flying off the dealer lots and no money for top notch R/D. Don't get me wrong, I love the Evo, but I'm not going to be ripped off.

Mits should pay attention to Nissan, the 350Z brought them back from the same situation that Mits is in now. Offering a high performace car at reasonable price and not trying to hit a home run with each sale. Just blowing off some steam.

Mits has little control over what the dealers do. You're building up steam for nothing. Just move on to another dealer.

the dealership incurs no cost for specially ordered cars.. If you pay them and they place the order..have it coming in, they should sell it slightly above invoice, just payment to fill out the paperwork.. meanwhile its a win win situation for everyone.. unfortunately most of the dealerships are ******.
