sup everyone,
i'm a proud owner of a 05 EB evo 8 GSR w/SSL
did my research and was expecting to pick up my evo from HB but didn't have my color i wanted and claimed that the color i wanted was impossible to get now* :roll:
salesperson was pushing a price for MSRP and i did mentioned i've read several posts on socalevo that got a sale price for few hundreds bucks above invoice...salesperson kept preaching how HB doesn't do markups...great i told the salesperson and said thanks but no thanks...i do my walking out the door routine and didn't get the usually wait a second we can do that offer reply
too bad i didn't see tom or rich since i knew i would've bought an evo if they were there
so i called south coast *yes signaling my cross over to the dark side and i've read the 7 page thread in the buyers forum* they had the color i wanted hmmm thinks to what the HB salesperson said :roll:
this was my 2nd time visiting south coast...1st time i was there a month ago with a friend some kid in a hawaiian shirt was trying to sell my friend an evo so badly...wouldn't even listen to why we were there in the first place...so expecting the same level of treatment but turned out it was the opposite
i was the last person there and they I kept them there until midnight LOL *so emotional draining that day*
strange how the way i was treated at south coast the 2nd time around was the way i expected to be treated at HB...i was thinking the whole time why didn't HB show the luv...goes to show anything can happened :-\
so bottom line i got what i wanted for 31,XXX k before TTL with 0% APR and i put 5K down.
impressions so far of the car are amazing...my dad was second guessing why i bought this car especially a Mitsu...a couple of test drives later he was so stoked and couldn't stop talking how fast the car was especially when it hit boost *made sure to tell him to keep it under 4k rpms*...my dad's the type to never get excited over things but the evo really has impressed him...he is amazed by the build quality of the car
don't know what people are complaining about cheap interior and quailty and the stiff ride...dang the car pulls even in 5th gear...freeway driving is so nice compared to my teg it's a nice step upwards* :2funny:
i do notice my car turns heads when i'm driving around and passengers and drivers just visually rape my car up and down and sideways etc O0
hope to meet up with some kool members and get some help on working on my car and gain some more knowledge about the evo
can't believe this is my 1st brand new car that i bought!!!!! :D
i've already done the clear bra and tinting...will be looking out for my fellow evo drivers and giving the thumbs up now that i'm driving one* ;)
peace
