got our evo X MR today...

[kevin@dambrosio]

wow. im impressed honestly. I really thought the SST was going to be a joke. Its fun as hell. the 3 shifting modes are awsome, the paddle shifting is fun, great looking wheels, body kit, styling are great. Price Fully loaded with Nav, aero kit, ect is MSRP at $43,764. not bad at all.

this guy is like a 4year old cant post pics but im sure he could draw you a stick figure that looks and sounds like it

oh and 43k is alot for that car, what does it do in the 1/4

[kevin@dambrosio]

are you insane? that's a lot for a bone stock 300hp awd performance car? look at what else is out there that compares head to head for the same price? a BMW M3 for $80,000?? you'r retarded. From my experience, people who bitch about price only are the people who don't have the money to spend to please stay out of my thread unless you have something usefull to say.

[D Money]

what exactly do you do? You own a dealership or these are all your personal cars?

Either way, i'd ****ing die for that car. lol

uh dude...? chill out. pretty sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all he said is its a lot for the car. cant say i disagree considering its a lot more expensive to buy a new STi or an Evo today then it was when they first came out.

[Jon@WrightAgency]

Kev, get some pictures up on here man...id love to see this car. What color(s) do you have there? And are you giving test drives? Id like to see how this thing behaves :)

As for price - for a Mitsu (yes, i have owned Evo's before so relax everyone) that is a bit high.....however, the performance per dollar is still VERY HIGH on this car at this price. Esp for a new car with a warranty. Now start comparing Pre-Owned cars to this price and its not a fair game - but still - very cool car with SWEET gadgets and supercar-ish performance.

PS: Still waiting for my ride in the TREX :)

Why the X MR is a joke, look up how much power the SST Trans can hold then tell me, 43K is an absolute joke for this car! A IX is where its:mrgreen:

[ben]

m3 starts at 53k with a 4 litre v8, you cannot compare a m3 to an evo. the m3 is a better deal though hell the 135i is a better deal.

well what two years ago the evo mr was 31-32k now its 43k? thats a huge increase for something thats not much faster then the one a few years ago.... oh well what can i say i guess you can put me in your typical people category....

... ill just put you in my typical salesperson category and say look hes only intrested in making the money and doesnt know any performance stats on the car except what it says on the sticker and what it looks like.

[CarbonIS]

sooooooooo much animosity in this thread.

bottom line is both the evo and the sti are now overpriced and both subaru and
mitsubishi have priced themselves out of the largest buyer segment that they
had for these cars.

granted they still pack a lot of performance punch for the dollar, they now cost too
many dollars being as they don't perform significantly better than their predecessors
which were thousands of dollars less, and in the case of what jacki said in building a car
on the mitsu website, 10's of thousands of dollars less.

[peteyturbo]

I would never buy a car from you guys knowing the sales guys get to have "fun" shifting in a brand new MR before it is even delivered to the buyer..I'm sure every other enthusiast would not appriciate it either but have yourself a ball I guess, I'm not buying it lol

im pretty sure he gets a nice cut off the huge overhead on these cars also. Not to mention all the cars he has sold to people on here already.

[peteyturbo]

Well it's not a straight line car obviously, it's a "technology" car so to speak..Put this thing on a track and it will shine, put it on a street and it will be comfortable, then take a picture of it because it looks bad ass! BTW it is quite a bit faster then any previous EVO around a racetrack, speaking for the MR EDITION ONLY:)well what two years ago the evo mr was 31-32k now its 43k? thats a huge increase for something thats not much faster then the one a few years ago.... oh well what can i say i guess you can put me in your typical people category....

I just want the new set of BBS that come with this car.:inlove:Pricing on mitsus website and what people are getting for them for on EvoM is very different BTW.

[WRXD]

so does the $43,764 include the $2,500 D'ambrosio markup?:wiggle:

[Renegade_]

are you insane? that's a lot for a bone stock 300hp awd performance car?
Yeah, it is considering my hunk of junk 240 would walk it hard on the highway and I paid under 7 grand. Not busting your balls, just saying different strokes for different folks... And of course I don't have the money for it, which is why I bust balls on someone who does buy it since my car can keep...

[ben]

You my freind are an idiot, look up real track times then report back with your findings!

you really are a fan boi aren't you?:roll:

just and 335i vs a gsr vs an sti

0-60 mph (sec): 5.0 - 5.1 - 5.4
0-100 mph (sec): 12.7 - 14.0 - 14.0
0-120 mph (sec): 19.2 - 22.7 - 22.5
30-70 mph passing (sec): 7.2 - 5.9 - 6.2
1/4-mile (sec @ mph): 13.7 @ 104 - 14.0 @ 100 - 14.0 @ 100
70-0 mph braking (ft): 161 - 160 - 159
Cornering L/R (g): .91/.95 - 1.03/1.03 - .96/.95

now granted thats not the 420hp v8 just a little 300hp straight 6

where do you have these magical lap times with direct comparisons versus these two cars i couln't find anything specific.

just for the fact that they can't put a real gearbox in it is reason enough not to buy a bloated overpriced lancer.

bmw 126.20 dollars per hp vs evo 143.33 dollars per hp.

He is saying that because there is less money / HP on the beemer that its better.

Yeah, well, I could do that to and say my car was 23.90$ per horsepower but does that mean its better than anything? Nope.

Whatever you want to buy, waste your money on - but goddamn 43 grand? Thats like a college education...

Yo everyone needs to stop busting on the evos god dammit...

I know what your saying but the sti in the vid you posted went 12.9.

[lagos]

43k is insane for a mitsubishi. plain and simple.
If you want other 300hp cars to compare to, then just look at the STI and evo8/9 that are/were sold for around 30-33k. Comparing it to a BMW is silly... it costs more because its a BMW.

The sst trans might be cool, but its not a serviceable part. If ANYTHING fails on it, the whole unit has to be replaced.

[garrettej8]

I'd rather have a new bmw 335i but the evo x is definitely a nice car.

[coleycole]

Yo everyone needs to stop busting on the evos god dammit...

I dont think everyones busting on the car... we all respect the evo for what it is and like it. This thread went to **** when kevin@dambrosio ripped on gorillaunit for saying the car was priced high and told him to stay out of his thread.

Like TROLL said everyone is entitled to their opinion...and here is mine,

Evo X MR = Great car but an overpriced car.
gorillaunit wasn't out of line in what he said, Kevin was. I hope you are just having a bad day and your response to gorillaunit is just a reflection of that.

40k+ for a mitsubishi?? No thanks, ill take a BMW or Audi instead, hell ill take something slower but with more appeal to it

[turbo4g63]

43k for a mitsu is wayyy too much. Just like what was said before it was 30 to 33k for a 8 or 9MR models. To me it makes no sense that mitsu upped the price by 10 thousand dollars for a car that doesn't look as good. I know it performs well, but if you took the extra 10 grand you spent to buy a new mr vs a IX...it would be no comparison

*Looks at daily driver*

300whp stock for 43K. woo?

[MuddyREX]

Bill hit the nail on the head.

Both Subaru and Mitsu are completely walking away from their target customer with these price points. Over 40K for an STi or an Evo, when both could be had for around 10K less when they were first introduced? Insane.

Does the increase in performance reflect the increase in price? They are better cars, no doubt, but not worth the extra scratch.

[wgknestrick]

Value of our doll hairs is mostly to blame for the big increase.

[Evo8kid]

id still rather have an VIII or IX

[jrl1018]

personally, I think everybody needs to chill about the price. Base price is still at about $33k for a GSR and $38k for an MR. The $43 that Kevin is talking about is fully loaded, so prices are somewhat similar to the old ones. I will agree that $38k is still a little high, but did we really need all this fighting?

[Chris_PA]

id still rather have an VIII or IX

ill take your RS4:mrgreen:

[DPancoast]

lol... I can have a 300hp car for about $10k..... give me another $30k and you're in trouble haha.

Evos are cool and all... and good luck.... but I wish I had some money like a lot of people do.

[Evo8kid]

ill take your RS4:mrgreen:

haha thanks man. no evo can compare to that. lol

[EvoColin]

Mine can :) haha Justtttttt kidding.

[06evors]

This same thread came up on Evom when some troll descided to price an mr on mitsus website and bitch and moan that it came to 43k. He/she didn't mention that they checked all of the useless option boxes as well. People are getting them for 35-37 range so that much for a car that can spank a lotus/911/sti might just be worth it. Not to mention the IX MR came with a 35k price tag in its debut. A used IX is the best choice still overall.

[lagos]

Lets not forget that kevin just spent 40k on a car with only 3 wheels, so getting all 4 for the same amount seems like a bargain! :)

[Metal4all6]

I love the Evo X, but it's a little more than I'm willing to pay for a car that's not that much better than the Evo I have.

[Oakes]

i feel like i should be kicking and screaming as i write this post, but i dont cause its the internet.

anyway, the car is a good car. Its priced high, i wouldnt pay it because of the cars that could be had in the same price range, new and used.

[Renegade_]

I know what your saying but the sti in the vid you posted went 12.9.
The chart he posted said that a stock STi runs 14.0, I said otherwise...

[evomike]

all i know is i am currently contimplating selling my race evo 8 and tow rig and buying a evox, they are sex on wheels slammed on 10.5 inch wheels. i drove a few they are far nicer and id buy one over a 335 anyday. why dont you go buy a 335 and see how bad it breaks when you start to mod it.

[PaleDSM]

Yes the price point has risen to a different segment but so has the car. It is not as much of an economy car with a big motor anymore. You are paying for better build quality, better ergonomics, better build materials, and a better blend of comfort with your performance.

My Dad loves the 8/9 but can only drive it for an hour or so before his head is buzzing and his back hurts. He loves it but would never buy it. He took an X out for a test drive and is now looking in the garage at which of his other cars he can sell to get one.

Personally you can keep it if you ask me. Bigger, heavier, more expensive. But he and I are in different segments. I do agree that it is too expensive for a Mitsu but that is the same thing that people were saying a year ago abou the GTR only being a Nissan.

[ozthunder]

Bill hit it on the head for me. Both are overpriced, and it puts the cars into a segment where you see a more mature buyer who may be more inclined for a BMW, Lexus, etc. At that price, you start looking at more than just sheer performance value- which both cars have. What you look at it is relative value- how luxurious is the car, how practical, what badge is on the car, etc. When I was at Concordville, a man said "38,000 for a Subaru? Are you kidding?" That may be why they are selling fairly slowly (that and the terrible styling).

And while the perf/$ is a great point...if it's 48K..why not just add a 20-30 more Gs and get yourself the car that's redefining performance value? If you're going to move "upscale", my question is relatively simple- why hold back, and for that matter, why buy a car known as a "boy racer"?

[2drStunner]

43k......No thanks! Its sexy as hell and I'm sure its a monster on the track BUT I'll have to pass on this one. :roll:

[4g64FTL]

bout them pics...

[kevin@dambrosio]

well im pretty much done with this thread... for all you complaining that the $43K price (which fyi our MR had every option on it) is way to high, I don't really care anymore. the car was sold last night.... by me :)

[ozthunder]

lol they are going to sell, however, is it something that's really sustainable as the group matures and tastes do, likewise?

In a few years..when you could get a GTR for ~70K...do you really think this "crowd" would spend 40-50K on an Evo?

[kevin@dambrosio]

to each his own..

[Stillen GLE]

At First i didnt like the New Evo's but then they started growing on me. but as far as price what else did you expect it to be 20-30G. it aint gonna happen for another 3-4 years. when they start getting traded in.

[Nickz31se_r]

Lets not forget that kevin just spent 40k on a car with only 3 wheels, so getting all 4 for the same amount seems like a bargain! :)

Line of the day!
Love the X and will envy anyone who owns one minus the payment. If I was Jay Leno then I would have my stock X to go along with my 8 and 9 which would already be "boy racer" complete.

Congrats on the sale as the economy is shat.

There is more to a car than price/hp. That's why I never talk about how much I paid for my Supra. "You paid THAT much for an 11 year old car?" Yes. "The only reason the price is high because of F&F" No. Shut up. A car is worth what people are willing to pay for it. EvoX's are nice, but personally not my cup of tea. I like the Evo 8/9s and last model Sti. If you want bang for the buck, get a foxbody and for a few thousand, you'll be in the 10s- just as fast as that over priced Volkswagen rebadged Veyron. So is the EvoX worth $43K? Yeah apparently people are willing to pay for it- there must be some value they see.

This sums it up pretty good IMO. People used to say the same about MR2s and now the price tags are accepted and everyone has gone quiet.

Its new, its a popular name, and we're in a new generation. After a couple of shops build retarded fast Evo Xs, things will level out and the talk will go to a level ambient tone.

I don't know where you got these numbers, BONE stock Evo IX's can and have run 12.9's, most are 13.1-13.2 with good drivers@104-106mph.

[90Laser]

For the record a Evo IX was going for about 40k 2 years ago. The Evo X is definitely worth the 3k price jump and theres really not that many other cars in its class. Sure you can get a 135i, but I've personally driven one and they're boring. The STI is gay, the g8 is cool, but its a v8 RWD vs a 4banger AWD. The S4 is an overpriced VW and the AERO X is limited production. Its all subjective, but I know if I was spending 50k on a car the X would be on the top of my list(right behind a e46 m3).

[Kevin]

How much was it without the lip, nav, and dambrosio's huge markup they are trying to put on those things?

[kevin@dambrosio]

I think our markup is very light considering I know other dealers are going to ask 5-10K over MSRP. but anyway.. It was based around $38,XXX. (plus dest. of $695) it had $4500 in adds (aero kit, nav ect)

[Kevin]

Inflation will kill us all.

[ToTheIX's]

i say cancer

[TROLL]

We're not talking about the car that you had specifically, we're talking about them in general... sorry but it really doesn't matter if 'yours' sold...

As far as the car, I think $38k for an MR and a few thousand less for the normal model is still reasonable... if thats what they sell at. Prices on cars are constantly rising and the value of our dollar really isn't helping things either. STi's are in the same price range as well, and I think if they looked more badass (traditional aggressive race inspired look) more of them would be selling. As long as they're touching in mid-$30k still its all good, but once they're getting to $40k and beyond it really just doesn't make sense any more.

And to the guys trying to compare their old beat up car with a bunch of mods that goes fast in a straight line... please spare us. That comparison is hardly above a ricer excuse as far as I'm concerned as a new stock car would own that competition in 99% of the ways you could compare it.

Heishem got an X? Man.. I haven't seen him in at least a year.. I gotta catch up with him. When did he sell his yellow evo?

[shuttlegoose]

dont get me wrong, i love the x mr but 43 is a bit high. And im not bashing Kevin at all, im sure thats what he has to sell the car for. We all know we can get a cheaper mr from southcoast mitsu shipped to our door for a hell of a lot less but then again they also what like 50 x's on hand at a time and sell the most evos in the country so they can "somehow" afford to sell them for thousands less than the competition. In PA the mr fully loaded is worth 43xxx case closed.

[kevin@dambrosio]

Heishem got an X? Man.. I haven't seen him in at least a year.. I gotta catch up with him. When did he sell his yellow evo?
