Talking Evolution 05 models ordering now!!

For everyone who has been wondering when the 05 model EVO's will be here I have some good news. Just got my commitment sheets for next months orders, and 05 EVO is on it. Figure this means that the cars will start showing up in Oct. For those of you wanting to order one call your dealer now. 1st run is going to be EXTREMELY limited. Most dealers will only get 1. But at least its here!

I'm just curious if your talking about the MR, RS, or regular evo? Do you mean 1 allocation for this time?

Each month you make commitments for the cars that you are going to order from , then about a month later you spec out your cars. Most dealers are only being sent one 05 on this months commitment sheet. Their may end up being more available next month but these would then get spec'd out a month later.

If your talking about the regular EVO (and I'm taking it that the 04 and 05 will have no significant changes) there are two sitting on a lot where I live, one have them has been there for at least 4 months.

Check the earlier threads...the 05 is has more power, lim-slip, etc. As for the 04, they are pretty much the same as the 03.

I stand corrected. I didn't feel like reading in depth, does it say where the extra power comes from. I would guess something along the lines of a more effecient manifold or exhaust or something. Limited Slip is pretty hard to compete with, but then again most drivers dont really get to extract the real performance of one. The dealership sticker on it was like 27500. But the wife said it was not a pratical family car and went on to ***** that I don't listen to her, not sure though I just kinda tuned her out and wasn't paying attention.

Hey what about the 04? I hated the dealer. one of these day I'mma shove my money up their *** so hard for trying to ripped me off. 40G for an 03/04? give me a brake and trying to say that their dealer has the most car/ evo in the nation. And guess what every dealers I stop by that day said the same thing. Oh yea almost forgot my favorite quote of all time, "we are the number 1 dealer's in the states." Yea sure, read between the F$#KN line.

Sorry folk I'm just a desperate EVO fanatic who is currently looking for a reasonable price for my baby. wish me luck. I'm going to try again this August. and this time I will shove my money up their *** for sure.

Wow, we have a #1 dealer here too, two of them. We are so lucky. Come to Az, theres a silver one that I am pretty sure to technically keep the warranty good, give at oil change it sat on the lot so long.

That's cool and all but how much is it going to devalue my '03 that was bought towards the end of last year when it was still the current MY? I guess it will make the '04s more valuable though seeing as their will be less of them.

this is exciting! The dealer here in Columbia is supposed to get a MR for my dad, he's kept his '03 bone stock, so hopefully he will get a good trade-in. Hopefully our dealer won't screw around and miss the chance to get one ('05 MR). Thanks for all the info you bring here BHENKEL, I can't get any good info from my dealer, they seem to be clueless most of the time.

Awesome to hear the reassurance

Although, its going to be stupid on Mitsubishi's part to keep it extremely limited to steal some WRX STI sales.
