Hello! I went down and picked up the car yesterday night. Apex Silver Lancer Evolution 8 GSR. Really good dealership experience. San Rafael Mitsubishi pretty much specializes in Evos. They actually have their own tuning department with a AWD dyno. While we were doing the paperwork Chris was showing us their project Evos and pictures of the owner doing rallying. They also beat the best price I negotiated with another dealership and had 3 silver Evos in stock.
I was really on the fence about buying this car since the Evo 9 is around the corner but what sold me is the 0% financing and the dealers selling the cars way below MSRP to clear them out before the 9 arrives. I ended up paying 200 over invoice with 0% for 5 years.
I've had a lot of project cars in the past but I can really only afford 1 car so I decided instead of having a tuned out nearly unstreetable ride, to have a fast car from the factory with a warranty and not do much in terms of modifications.
My previous car was a SR20DET powered 240SX. It was fast and smoking an Evo was never a problem - now I can't talk sh!t any more, I own one! :) The hassle of owning an engine swapped and tuned car in California was too much for me and the car is up for sale. Before then I had a Civic Si which was pretty moded as well. All my cars are daily drivers and weekend track cars. I occasionally help instruct at HPDE events at Thunderhill and Laguna Seca. So I went from FWD to RWD to AWD.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
