Best Mitsu dealership near Philadelphia, PA and/or surrounding areas?

Hi all,

I'm new to the Evo scene, but currently looking into purchasing a used 2008 Evo X GSR just because it's cheaper than buying a new 2010 model...although AutoTrader shows a new 2010 Evo X GSR can be had for under $30,000 from Tom Masano Mitsubishi...


I've been searching online through different forums trying to figure out which dealership would be the best to go to around Philly and surrounding areas.


Some dealerships I found were:
  • Jeff D'Ambrosio - Downingtown, PA (i've heard more positives about this place plus 2 of my friends had great experience there. leaning towards this at the moment)
  • Tom Masano - Reading, PA
  • Fred Beans - Doylestown, PA
  • Peruzzi - Fairless Hills, PA
  • Faulkner - Philadelphia, PA (not sure if this exists as Google doesn't show a dealership in street view...)
  • Conicelli - Norristown, PA

I purposely left Cherry Hill Triplex off the list as I've read some really negative things about them in different forums.

Does anyone have experience with any of the dealerships listed? Should avoid or go to a particular dealership?

Also, is it better to go through Internet sales?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would NOT go to diambrosio.

I have talked to a few people at Masano and they seem to know what they are talking about, but I have never done business with them

Doesn't matter where you buy a new one from. Just look for the best deal. It only matters when you go in for service!

If you want to talk to someone who knows Evo's, ask for Mike Gross at Tom Masano in Reading. He had a 2003 Evo, and just got a new 2010 Evo X. He'll be able to help you out.

They all suck period.

I will say I bought my car from D'Ambrosio and they will give you a good deal buying the car, you just don't want to get it serviced there as the service manager is a complete douche. They do move a lot of cars though, and are willing to get beat up a little bit to make a sale.

It really comes down to who's gonna give you the best deal like Chu said. The rest of the stuff really doesn't matter...

Good Luck

what all these guys say is right. i swear to never do business with dambrosio but if i were in the market it's open game to whom could give me the best price. forget service at the dealership. there are plenty of shops that know way better what they're doing and won't jerk you around.
