Haha. they gave me 23k for trade .. I thought that was reasonable. The knocked 500 off the sticker for loyalty rebate because i was a current Mitsu owner. Not much of a rebate but what do you expect i guess..They just got to the dealership last week. Im down for a meet man. lemme know.

I really love the car. It is alot smoother power delivery. My VIII was straight raw feeling and gave the big kick. This one just kind of smoothy gives it to you. But I like all of the new fancy features like not having a key for the ignition. or just touching the doorhandle with the key in your pocket and the doors unlock for you. Its pretty sweet i must say, lol. Finally have cruise which is nice.. It has a sweet digital info center (miles till empty, outside temp and such..) The seats are alot more snug than my VIII and the headlight adjustment for the hids is nicer and you can see more of the road unlike the hids in my VIII.

VIII Enkei - 20.50lbs
IX Enkei - 20.17lbs
BBS - 17.74lbs
and if anyone ever wonders for reference - yes you can fit 4 wheels and 4 tires (not mated) in the car. But its a very tight fit, and really not that fun to drive that way

I have weighed each combo with tires mounted , and the stock enkei tire combo is close to 5lbs. each lighter and that was with the same exact tire as well just in the 17 inch variety.
I always tracked the car with the stock wheels on
