I think this is a all a moot point until the STi comes out. I need numbers ,price etc... to make a decision

I disagree...I think this is a baseline to go by. No way the STI is going to be less $$ than the EVO...

 

I think that's definitely true, but it will have to be close.

Also on topic for the thread, people are going to have to remember to factor in insurance. I'm hoping it won't be that bad since these are both four doors and 4-cyl. (Granted they do have turbos, though.)

 

I heard 4wd also increases insurance... true or not true?

 

I've heard that SUV's increase insurance. If anything 4WD or AWD should decrease insurance, as you have better control in slippery conditions!

 

What's the deal with Van Bortel?!?!?!?!

I am way down on the list and haven't heard back from them in terms of me getting a car and probably won't this year....

But what happened to $400 over invoice GUARANTEED?!?!?!

Are they trying to sell them at MSRP now???

 

Nothing's changed with V.B. as far as I know (talked with Pete Rosser yesterday, in fact). Looks like a few people may have dropped off the list....I've jumped up from #53 to around #43.....still probably looking at an '04 delivery though.....they're only getting 10 STis for '03 (last time I heard).

Though still VERY UNOFFICIAL, news on the grapevine suggests MSRP may be close to $31k, though the final price-versus-standard specs. yet to be decided.

 

Don't forget about the 0.5L extra displacement, that is a big difference for people that will be modifying the car.

 

haha ur such a liar!!! the evo8 in sj, ca is 30,812 and usually all of these evos are not exactly the same price, especially its really rare
i have a picture stating how much it is...its really $50,812 cuz they marked it up $20k....get ur prices right kid u wish u had a EVO

my friend just bought a black evo for 44k at concord mitsubishi, ca
and he stopped by shiv and they dynoed hit....his was the fastest evo8 they dynoed so far so if u go to shiv's visnu performance website u wll see his name on the timeslip which says STONE

 

04STi,

Not sure who you're calling a liar, but the Evo VIII MSRP is around $29k (without carbon wing or sunroof) if I'm not mistaken........anyone who pays $20k over MSRP is a sucker (or has more money than sense).

 

O4STi,

I don't know what you are talking about. There are quite a few dealers selling the EVO at MSRP.

Anyone pay mark up for a EVO is dumb, talk about lack of patient. If they got too much money they want to blow, just heavily modify the EVO, it can drain the wallet of any rich man.

 

ok ok ..

easy guys..


28 987 $ is baseline MSRP w/o the delivery charge and roof and spoiler

add those you come up to 30862 or something..
then tax and license.

not a lot of dealer selling @ crazy mark up...

seen a few 2000 $ and 1000 $ and a lot of MSRPs.
not in CA tho..
