Oh i forgot to add I called tustin when I was doing research on pricing and apparently tustin owns puente hills and so it was a long story about price and I kinda got... how to say... made fun of by tustin about the price puente hills would get. But one thing I heard which was kinda good was when I confronted bob @ puente hills, he said even tho its the same boss, puente hills is puente hills and not tustin. I wonder if that is really true or he just wanted to haul me into the dealership. Has anyone noticed how fast a sales person gets bagged?? I was talking to (i forgot her name) at duarte and the next day I went in to see their red evo (it had a small wing which i didnt like) and they said she just got bagged... Same thing that happened with whittier (even tho I will never go there again) my sales person and the parts guy both got fired. It makes you feel like... how to say.. a stranger because you dont have a set person that you can talk to, where instead you have to find someone else... I dont know if anyone understands =P you guys probably think im just babbling.. ha ha ha =P

bcmind: maybe it was a miscommunication, but employees cant even buy the car for that price 27+ fees, thats under MSRP
I have few fleet internet offer at invoice. they're from Whittier ($1 over invoice) u heard me right $1 over invoice. Alhambra at invoice, HB at invoice.
i was *hoping* dealing with you would get me a better deal but that's not the case. you and your boss quote me $200 over invoice... that's the best u can do? I thought I heard you said you can beat any price. anyways...
maybe i forgot to tell u that i'm gonna put $5000 down?
i'm outta here and hopefully will post my new car picture later tonite... *pray* guys!

True. The price should have nothing to do with financing. One should avoid dealer financing and get financing from a bank, credit union, or online. Once you have your financing secured, then you can consider taking dealer financing if they can beat the financing you already have. They play with those monthly payment numbers on that sheet with the 4 boxes to milk it for all they can.
Edit: I should also add that if you never step into the dealership except to take delivery, that would be a good thing. That's why some people look to car brokers to handle all the BS that you have to go through at the "stealership".
Take a look at internet articles on car purchasing.
http://www.fool.com/car/car.htm is a good place to start.
Sometimes there is also hidden bonus money to dealers to move cars. That's how they can sell at or below invoice. Maybe the manufacturer wants to help boost sales at that dealer. If the dealer has Evos in stock then they aren't really in demand, because if they were then there would be a wait like there was with the PT Cruiser.

Yeah.. in a way Santa monica was a bit.. sneaky... my price was 31354 with taxes and everything. downpay of 14000. and then they said that I got a 1k loyal customer something so they said my downpay was 15000. But nooo... they made my car higher value and said with the 1k loyal customer thingy im able to get 31354.... I have no idea what to say to that guy. No matter how hard I pushed at saying that my sales guy said 31354 with everything included, he kept pushing at saying the 1k doesnt do anything. *shrugs* they also had some weird visigraphics which i feel dont really do crap and they tried to sign me up for the extended service warranty thingy. first the guy says 2000 then i said no. so then he lowers it to 1800. I still said no. and then finally he said "hey ill give u it for 1500, I only make 100 dollars out of this" and i still said no... so he said he will also give me 30 days to think about it.. and i still said no.. but i was thinking, this is getting no where so might as well say yes and cancel it later. =P the dealers are such vultures. =P sorry if u arent like this. Just the ones that i went to are. Whittier, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach.

muramasa, i know bob the guy u talked to, hes a cool guy, hes new like me, hes from texas and has never been to cali, hes worked here for 3 weeks now, him and I have never worked in the car business until we got this job a month ago
all i can say to peopel looking for new cars, whatever dealership u go, price will vary even if u go to the big names like huntington or etc. we even sold an evo at puente for 40grand, trust me price will vary

So is the <30k out-the-door deal a myth? Try as I might I cannot seem to get a deal that sweet. Some details would be appreciated – internet initiated contact, carsdirect.com etc.

so 30k out the door is reasonable to dealers?
i bet that'll go up for the 04 models... of course it wouldnt go down ... lets all hope they dont hike up the price on the new models *crosses fingers*
hey drummerjun ... got any more pixs ... that thing is sexay heheh ... i dont knoe why a lot of ppl have the bby model... Silver Black and Yellow seem to be the favs in my area ... *but then again the rare color like blue is always a plus to future evo owners
