Hey not sure how many of you guys were planning on pre-ordering the new evo in the U.S. at sticker price, or how many were gonna wait it out and see after they test drove it and stuff, but the fleet manager at Don Herring Mitsubishi in the DFW area told me that on the first shipment of the new evo's only what MMNA considers are the top 25 "premier dealerships" (based on high volume sales in a geographic area, triple diamond awards, etc.) are gonna receive them, and then slowly the others are gonna get their hands on them. But technically, by law, if you order from these dealerships as a LEGITIMATE pre-order (with a deposit and contract), they can only sell it to you at sticker price. Afterwards, they can buy the cars themselves and jack up the price and all that if they feel like it. I'm not saying that these are the only 25 you can pre-order from, but they are the first 25 that should get their hands on them before any other dealership. Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know that's what Don Herring Mitsubishi is doing... I put my deposit down a little over a month ago, and so, according to him, I'm first on the list in all of Texas. He said in a few weeks, he should have all the (official) info on the car with prices, transmission, trims, options, etc. to choose from. Also, note that some of these dealerships may decide not to take pre-orders until they have all of the official info.

But if you're like me and you just HAVE to have it as SOON as it's available... then here are the 25 Premier Dealerships that he was telling me about (not in any particular order):

1. Don Herring Mitsubishi (http://www.donherring.com/) - Dallas/Fort Worth, TEXAS

6. Grava Mitsubishi (http://www.gravamitsubishi.com/) - Boston, MASSACHUSETTS
7. Kirkwood Mitsubishi (http://www.kirkwoodmitsubishi.com/) - St. Louis, MISSOURI
8. Mike Riddle Mitsubishi (http://www.mikeriddlemitsubishi.com/) - Salt Lake City/Woods Cross, UTAH

Dammit, none of them are in jersey.

Good post!

Which trim are you going to try and get?

one in dallas good but i'll just wait for when i can in houston.

I wanna get the MR for sure... but I'm still trying to debate between manual and the sst.

Dammit, none of them are in jersey.

Good post!


What about calling up the one in DC or Boston? I actually live in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Dallas is about a 5 hour drive for me, but I don't feel like waiting any longer than I have to for this car lol.

I went through this with MINI, too, sometimes you (the dealer) have to order the car before you know all the specifics of the car. You just get to pick the colour, maybe the transmission, and that's it. My dealer could not even choose the transmission, they were told it would be a manual. They then asked for graphite grey (on my behalf).

I'm gonna post this to burst all your bubbles because I have concrete information

I just called #25 on the list above (because I live in that area) and the manager has informed me of the following things

1) The car should be out in December for the D.C. Metropolitan area
2) Pre-ordering does not affect pricing at all. I asked him specifically the benefits of pre-ordering, and he informed me there were none price-wise, besides being able to get the first car.
3) Mitsu will be sending the first few cars without any ability to customize them. Those first few cars will be sold as is. Then you can custom order.
4) He quoted a bare bones (GSR) at $40,000 USD. He said fully loaded I could expect $50,000 (with TSST, etc)
This information has been handed to him verbally from the manufacturer. I'm on his contact list and will update this post if any of the information changes as more concrete info arrives.
5) There is no "by-law" sticker price thing at all. It seems like this $40K GSR is probably horrendously marked up already.
6) There is only 1 person on the DC waiting list right now.

I'm having second thoughts about this car, at least buying it in my area...
Perhaps my 135i would even be cheaper than the evo...

He quoted a bare bones (GSR) at $40,000 USD. He said fully loaded I could expect $50,000 (with TSST, etc)


That will be their biggest mistakes. 40g for gsr and 50 for mr tsst. i'll buy evo 9 mr instead and i don't care with the new features of evo x.:wtfsign: :whipping: :bsflag:

Mentor Mitsubishi in Cleveland isn't far from me.

Those prices are a bit too high for what the car is. How would it compete with the STI like that? With any luck, that info is bogus.

Call one of the other dealerships on that list of 25 and provide information that indicates otherwise

hopefully that is BS...

but plenty of people will pay that just to have it right away.

IMO, a car would have to be very very special for me pay even a penny over MSRP.

Wow... The fleet manager at Don Herring told me to expect the car to be slightly higher than the IX, if higher at all. And the "by-law" sticker price he was referring to is how dealerships buy the car themselves from their lot, so that they can mark up the price and make some more profit from it. This way instead of buying directly from Mitsubishi (as you would be from a pre-order), you're buying from the dealership at whatever price they offer to sell it. My friend pre-ordered an M3 convertible when the E46 body style first came out, and he lucked out by pre-ordering, and getting the car at sticker price (46k, I believe). Afterwards for almost a year, all the M3 convertibles that went through the dealership here were either auctioned off to other lots, or were marked up by at least 10k. I remember someone offered him 55k for that car after he had it for 10 months already. Same thing usually goes for ferraris, lambos, etc. You can always buy them tremendously marked up from a dealer (because unless someone's signed up for a pre-order, they'll buy the car themselves), or you can put your name down for a pre-order, and expect to wait a year or two since they are produced in a limited quantity annually.

I can't imagine spending 50k on the new MR... And the guy over here told me he'll have all the options listed for customizing... Do you know if the guy at your DC store was referring to like basic options like color, sunroof, sound, navi, leather, etc? Or like those accessory things like lighting and stuff they are doing in Japan from that catalog that's floating around? As far as I have known, you should always at least be able to choose your color, transmission, and basic packages like leather and stuff...

I guess time will tell once we get closer.

HAHA. There is no concrete info. My wife spoke to the General Manager of the Annapolis dealership. He said, after meeting with one of the factory representatives, that the GSR premium will be between 33K-35K and the MR Premium will be between 36K-38k.

I hate to burst your bubble. Do you really trust the stealerships.

i went to Don Herring a month ago looking for that graphite grey evo mr. he said it will be same but a bit more evo 9 mr for the top line. i don't know now.

Yeah... that's what I was gonna say too. I'm pretty sure they jacked up the price, and that's why they're saying there's no such thing as a "pre-order." Because if they really took a $1000 deposit, and had you sign a contract with MMNA, they have to sell it to you at sticker price. But that DC dealership telling you that there's no different in doing a pre-order, I'm thinking they're just saying that because they don't want anyone to pre-order because then they're not able to jack up the price and there's potential profit loss.

I don't know... But a lot of that information the guy told you sounds kinda off the wall.

HAHA. There is no concrete info. My wife spoke to the General Manager of the Annapolis dealership. He said, after meeting with one of the factory representatives, that the GSR premium will be between 33K-35K and the MR Premium will be between 36K-38k.

that sounds about right..but i never heard of dealerships offering at sticker price if you pre-order. Is it the same here in California? I'll probably contact them and ask.

It seems to me that if you pre-order you should not pay more than the sticker price. You are providing their market for them, that will lead to scarce supply and will allow them to mark-up later vehicles. If they couldn't give you a price when you put down your deposit, or they didn't tell you how much the mark-up would be, then you should fully expect to only pay MSRP. If they try otherwise I would be on the phone to Mitsu USA and not stop calling until someone high up deals with your greedy dealer.

My dealership is doing MSRP for anyone who leaves a deposit in house.

Man, that's got me thinking.

I wouldn't mind theoretically pre-ordering if the terms were right. I'd want to be locked into a good price, however, have the option of getting a full refund on my deposit in the event that something went awry.

My two problems at this point are:

1-I don't know what a "good price" is
and
2-I'm not even sure which trim I want at this point. Can they please just offer an MR with a 5MT? Rumors say they may later.

My dealership is doing MSRP for anyone who leaves a deposit in house.

Is there any "build your own evo" type of catalog where we could select our options and such and determine what MSRP should be on our evo?

Not as of yet. Pricing books that we have all say TBD. But I tortured my rep enough with donuts and coffee to get a price range out of his ass.

Haha. Well, when those TBDs turn into numbers, be sure to let us know first.

Will do.

I left a deposit at the Annapolis Dealership before I went on deployment months ago. The GM is suppose to find out exactly what he's getting on Monday. Cant wait.

W T F. WOW. i would expect these mark-ups on BMW's but not mitsu's. if thats the price range im looking i can think of a hundred cars i'd rather park in my garage. i can get a damn lotus elise for that range with change left to spare! lets hope he's wrong. i went to a dealer in my area and they said the ENTRY EVO IS STARTING AT 36K.

sux.

Good post!or Sydney. :wallbash:

Tell Don Herring's fleet manager that he'll be getting a call from corporate. I wouldn't appreciate any of my sales staff lying to a customer (and I would fire them on the spot) and I certainly don't appreciate it when someone on here is lied to or misled.

Here is the real deal on who the top 25 dealerships are in the U.S.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/kmxxbadboy/Maywood/DSRE92I1.jpg

Of the 25 listed dealerships, these are the only ones that were actually in the "Top 25" in order.

I'd take anything the fleet manager at Don Herring tells you with a grain of salt. Better yet, a rock. How did he pick that list? Out of a hat? LoL.

You don't have to believe what I say, but then again, I'm the only dealer actually going out of his way to post up actual documentation and data to give a little clarity to this 'Evo X' situation, thus far.

Dammit, none of them are in jersey.

Good post!

You better bet there is! =).

I'm gonna post this to burst all your bubbles because I have concrete information

I just called #25 on the list above (because I live in that area) and the manager has informed me of the following things

1) The car should be out in December for the D.C. Metropolitan area
2) Pre-ordering does not affect pricing at all. I asked him specifically the benefits of pre-ordering, and he informed me there were none price-wise, besides being able to get the first car.
3) Mitsu will be sending the first few cars without any ability to customize them. Those first few cars will be sold as is. Then you can custom order.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/kmxxbadboy/LOL/fail.jpg

That info is about as concrete as my stool after Chinese food. Dealers can say anything they want over the telephone and it makes me mad to see how condescending their attitude can be on this car. We should be excited that such a car is coming to hit our shores!

1) The car should be out in December for the D.C. Metropolitan area
That is a BIG maybe. Not a definite. Nobody has any final ETA dates yet.
2) Pre-ordering does not affect pricing at all. I asked him specifically the benefits of pre-ordering, and he informed me there were none price-wise, besides being able to get the first car.
That is the perogative of the individual dealership. I guarantee MSRP for all deposits put in-house at my dealership through me.
3) Mitsu will be sending the first few cars without any ability to customize them. Those first few cars will be sold as is. Then you can custom order.
I just built my first order cars on the district dealer link with the custom options my first two deposit holders wanted. Color-wise and build-wise.
4) He quoted a bare bones (GSR) at $40,000 USD. He said fully loaded I could expect $50,000 (with TSST, etc)
Take a ride up north and I'll make him look like the greedy pig he is. =). I've had people come up from Delaware to get Evo IXs from me. I can post a buyer's order if you don't believe me.
This information has been handed to him verbally from the manufacturer. I'm on his contact list and will update this post if any of the information changes as more concrete info arrives.
Definitely keep us up-to-date. I'm very interested in what these guys have to say.
5) There is no "by-law" sticker price thing at all. It seems like this $40K GSR is probably horrendously marked up already.
That $40k quote he told you is definitely already marked up. But, yes, a dealership does not have to stick to MSRP.
6) There is only 1 person on the DC waiting list right now.
I highly doubt that. There is a very large Evo presence in the MD/VA area and there is more than just one dealership there.

Thanks for clarifying things up, KMX.

That's what I'm here for, Chris! =)

yea, I worked at a dealership in MD and I went to talk to the sales manager over the weekend...he said that ALL mitsu dealerships were only getting 1 evo X to start...now I know that's not necessarily true...but KMX does he have any validity in his statement?? I'm thinking he was only able to get one because his sales volume for Mitsu is only 20 or 30 a month...I told him to order me one and he said he would have to talk to his rep before he could order another one...I know he's not bull***ing me but KMX, you said you've already ordered 2...at least that's what I've gathered from your post...so I guess I just wanna make sure I can get mine ordered before November...

MD, you're correct about a 20-30 per month dealership getting only 1 car. I average anywhere from 70 to 90 per month, so we're getting 2. The dealerships that didn't hit their goals are getting none.

The two that I was allotted I was able to build on the Dealer Link. I built those based on customer specifications of deposits that were already left to me a while back. That's why I know exactly what's in them, because I built them based on the deposit-holder's wants and needs.

Hope that helps.

I have 6 available 5 a11, two in octane blue, one in wicked white, one in graphite gray, one in apex silver and one a10 in rally red

it does help, thanks...do you think there's any chance he'll be able to order me one now, even though he's already ordered his one? I don't feel like waiting for the first shipment to get an order in...I've got my heart set on January!

Not as of yet. Pricing books that we have all say TBD. But I tortured my rep enough with donuts and coffee to get a price range out of his ass.

even though the pricing books say TBD, didn't you get an invoice price when you ordered yours on dealer link? I'm not asking what the invoice price is...a simple yes or no will suffice(no need to tease people with a price they won't get)...my old sales manager will tell me what invoice price is when he orders mine...I just wanna know if it's available on dealer link right now...I'd like to know what I'll be paying before I order...

It is not currently posted on the Dealer Link.

wow...:ohsnap:

Ok, this is the closest thread to my question so I'll just post it here.

The $500 deposit at a regular mitsu dealer.. If I need to back out or anything is that 100% refundable? I'm looking at you KMX!!!

Thanks! Just started talking to a dealer and figured I'd ask here to save time first.

I left a deposit at the Annapolis Dealership before I went on deployment months ago. The GM is suppose to find out exactly what he's getting on Monday. Cant wait.

Did you find out yet what car's are being ordered at your dealer?

The two cars he's getting initially are two GSRs. Red and black.
He gets to order 5 or 6 more. Those will come in a couple weeks after the first two.

Which one is yours, the black one? Or will you be ordering one in the next 5 or 6 he'll be getting? So to confirm, you are looking at getting an EVO X GG GSR w/SSS? I feel like I just barfed up alphabet soup.

I got bottom paged so now I've quoted myself @_@

Sadi,

It really depends on the dealer. In the end, you are legally entitled to your money back, as it is illegal for a dealer to hold it without giving you something in return. Now, when I say, it depends on the dealer, I mean, how long will they hold it until they release it to you. Some sales managers (not salespeople, as they really have no say in the release of a deposit) are real pricks. At my dealership, if someone doesn't want to keep their deposit on something that one of my floor salespeople are salivating over marking-up five grand, I'm not going to hold them to it and I'll process refund paperwork on the spot. Depending on how you left the deposit, it will take between 3-5 days to get your refund back. Well, that's how I do things.

50 gs!!!!!!!!!! well f*ck dude this is lookin grim for me now i could 37 maybe 39 but 50 thats gotta be bull if not looks like im not getting one for a while my tundy will have to do for the next what... year?

my local dealer (cecil myers mitsubishi in st.joseph missouri) said deposits are non-refundable he said it twice cause i asked him twice. i wanted to make sure cause the info you gave me
is it actually illegal for him not to refund it

Hmmm, thanks KMX... I guess I'll just have to poke my dealer and see how he does things.

I just worry that if the money I expect doesn't get to me I won't be able to go through with it.

Not going for the black. Im gonna get the GG.
I wont say which one I'll get. I'll keep you in suspense:)
Are YOU going for the EVO X GG GSR w/SSS?

yeah most dealer shoulf give you a full refund altough not on the spot but some days after.when i had put an order for the 4g eclipse before they came out i did not get the car when i was supposed to.so i got my refund back from the dealer.a deposit entitles you get get something why would you give any money if you are not getting anything back to you.

Not going for the black. Im gonna get the GG.

I'm hoping that's what's coming. It should be GG, it will be GSR, but I do not know about packages in Canada. I do want the options in the SSS package.

KMX is your dealer ship Maywood Mitsubishi?

No SSS option for the GSR in canada. Maybe theyre available in Mitsu's accessories catalogue..

KMX is your dealer ship Maywood Mitsubishi?

That's correct!

Thats Great KMX!!!!!!!!!!! Thats where i was planning on buyin it.

i think i may wait like 6-9 months after its launch.most of the mitsu dealers around here are not so kind on the prices.i do in fact have an inside on sales so i may just have to drive 1hr to get ther.
