I was looking for a White SE for quite some time and I happened to come across the SE registry thread on here. I read one post that said that South Coast Mitsubishi supposedly has 12 of them that they have been storing in a warehouse for the past 5 years. So I decided to check their website for laughs and I noticed that they have them listed for sale. They decided to start selling them around the beginning of June this year. After calling and talking to a salesman I come to find out that they had 4 black/ 2 blue / 3 grey / 3 white, or something along those lines. When I contacted them they only had 1 wicked white left, so I decided to buy it and have it shipped across country from Cali to NY. After a lot of hassle of going back and forth with the dealer I finally got everything all straightened out and the car was on its way to me


Onto the pics


The first few pics that were sent to me of it being on the lot



























Yes 6 original miles









Being washed and detailed...









Being loaded up for its cross country excursion... (It actually traveled the country by train, not on a flatbed)








And here it is arriving to me roughly 2 weeks ago...














Just in case you were wondering what else is going on over at south coast mitsu...
Show room...






The remainder of untouched never titled SE's...
Hiding away.....

Dude that is awesome!!!! Congratulations. Never hurts to ask, right?!?

Thank you for sharing this. Just as an FYI, you are in the Evo 1-9 forum. It's all good though man.

edit: I don't suppose you'd post what you paid for it? Or PM me?

Damn it. I always post in the wrong section
I paid 33,900 out the door. That's what they had it on their web site for, and they wouldn't budge on the price. I thought a numbered piece of history was worth it though.
Since I bought mine I have revisited the web site for SCM and they have sine jacked up the price roughly $3k...

I feel bad every time I drive it, ya know because it has 250 miles now and not 6 anymore...
But what a great car, in comparison to my VIII it is a luxury car....

Me and a few other people are under the impression that the owner was hoping that the cars would jump greatly in value. It appears that they did not, I had to jump on buying this car as it could arguably be one of the most rare Evo X's..

Just hit 321 miles today and the flat spots on the tires from sitting are almost gone

I bet in 10 more years that Evo 9 MR will jump in value with 6 miles on it lol

so any clue how many miles were on that GG 9. I'm guessing none or very low. crazy to see so many quality evos in one place that have been stored that long.

last time i was at south coast mitsu, that GG Evo 9 had 6 miles on it and i was told that someone offered them 50k for it and they turned it down.

B Roharik

man that is nuts knowing that! crazy they wouldn't accept that offer but I can kind of understand. that's a true collectors car right there.
