So I've been calling dealerships around the country to get an EVO X for the new shop car and it seems that most, if not all, EVO X's coming into to dealerships between January and February all have some sort of extra packages on them and that each dealership will only be recieving one X in January and one in February and so on. So I called this Mitsubishi Dealership IN. I asked if they were still taking pre-orders and he said yes. So I asked if he had any idea on the pricing for a base 2008 EVO X GSR in black. He asked his manager and said they are not giving exact prices, but for a base 2008 EVO X GSR in black the msrp will be no less than $30,999 and no more than $31,999!
Happy shopping,

OOOOOOooooooo.... now that's a price i can agree with.

i wonder what the invoice price would be... hmmm... i wonder if i can wait long enough to get a lower price.
Good luck getting invoice with this car, but I will back up your right to ask for a lower price! You need to find a dealer who, at the end of the model year, has three Evo's sitting on his lot for more than a couple months.

kmxxxbadboy, we need the real MSRP prices NOW!

Then you would have to pay extra to have it transported to you. So it depends on the total amount you will save and if this is enough for you not to buy from your local dealer. Of course, you could make a vacation out of it and actually fly in, take delivery, then drive home. I don't think you are going to get deals better than MSRP in the first six months of this car's introduction, so this is a pointless exercise.

yeah i just wonder. and if there is some issue it's hard to communicate and better to just drop in my local dealer.

2008 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR w/ no options: $30,999 - $31,999 msrp guaranteed. You can pick whichever color you wish as well. As for buying the car for invoice, I highly doubt that will be attainable for at least another 6-10 months.

I will be getting the car in mid February and they said I will recieve the exact price 1 week before it gets shipped out. Then its time to make her go faster ;)

Black is not a color option for the GSR, AFAIK.

Welcome to the forums, DB. Just a side note though: I have to edit your posts to remove contact information for the dealer you're getting your car through. We don't allow advertising or referrals on this forum unless they have been approved.

"Black is not a color option for the GSR, AFAIK."

Okay, so I just called the dealership and he said the GSR's ARE indeed coming in black. He just checked his list for EVO X's coming in and the second one they are receiving is a black EVO X GSR.

PM me the dealership's name and I can check their allocation. If you PM me and they indeed do have a black Evo X GSR coming in, I will accept it as fact. But if they do not, I will post it as false. But first PM me the name of the dealership and we can see from there. =).

I just called corporate in Cypress, CA for this info.

A few things:

1) Official MSRP pricing has not been released to ANYONE. The $31,995 MSRP pricing that has been listed on here is fake, according to MMNA corporate office. The base Evo IX was priced at above $32k and, as with most retail items over time, especially with this much technological advancement, the price goes up, not down.
2) There is no official listing of a black color for the GSR. When we built our cars, the black color was not available for the GSR model.
3) I have yet to get a PM as to what dealership this is.

For the reasons above, I believe the information provided is a straight out lie. It's truly no wonder why dealers get a reputation of lying to their customers. It's dealerships like this one in Indianapolis that fester such distrust and I'm sickened to even be associated with them.

Please, stop transmitting more of this dealership's lies and mis-truths. PM me the dealership information before you post another thing in this thread. I pride this website because the members on here deal with fact rather than lurid speculation.

I write back and respond when I have concrete information to base an answer off. As for your PM, I am still waiting for an answer from my General Manager. As we do not know what the pricing is on the new Evo, I cannot neccessarily give anyone an answer on what MSRP is. I won't even speculate at this moment about 'ballpark' because it can be argued that even if I am a red cent off, I would be considered a liar. Therefore, I will wait until pricing comes out before I make a statement.

+1 (though I wouldn't be so dramatic about it)

We need Mitsubishi Motors North America and Mitsubishi Motors Canada to give us the straight goods. No sense asking the dealers to guess. We are just fishing to see if the information is already out there from the corporate overlords. If it isn't we will just have to wait until someone scoops the pricing news!
