There was a issue with the brakes and a few other minor little things. I asked the dealer to knock off $5000. They said no. So i said ill think about it and left. A day later the dealership calls me and said they will lower it $2000. I told them no, i want 5000 lower. They replied "well we have a guy interested in it and he isnt asking for a lower price, only reason im trying to get you in it, is because you are in the military and we support our troops." I said "well thanks for that, but let the other guy have it." 2 weeks later i found another SRT-10 at another dealership, bought it and went back to the first dealership to grab something (cant remember what) talked to the sales guy and said "yea i got a different srt-10, lower km's, lower price and nothing wrong with it" He just walked away right pissed off. Funny thing is that SRT-10 on their lot was there for 6 more months.

I thought about doing that with mine. My local dealership (look at my location and you can probably figure out which one it was) wouldn't work with me so I ended up getting the same car from a dealer about an hour away and in total I ended up saving almost $16k. I don't want to be an ******* and rub it in though because I go there for parts and will probably be going there for service if I don't end up doing it myself.

The Mustang is a car I'd really like to test-drive in the near future> It has gotten so many good reviews in magazines in the past few years.
Do you think you gotta have Rear wheel drive ? If so, you can leave out the Mitsubishi Evo. I drove an early 90's Mitsubishi Lancer that my Dad's girlfriend owned for awhile. The interior build was SO bad, pieces of trim would fall off nearly every week ! lol . . . The new Lancer is a bit better, but that's something that sticks in my mind about Lancers.
I think Nissan has very good reliability, if not the best, out of the group of cars you test drove.

I'd say wait and test drive the Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z and a Mazda MX-5. That could give you some contrast to the large muscle-car feel===

That's almost exactly what I did. I stopped laughing once I realized he was serious and told him, "look, if your sales are so strong that you don't need my business then that's alright with me." and I left.

if you do end up with an Evo make sure to drive it back there and make him regret his stupid decision :)

Edit: just read that you are turned off to Mitsu as a company completely, can't really blame you considering their product offerings and honestly horrible customer service in the past 2 Evo's I've owned.
