wut the dealership told me...

i was just thinkin about this which i found pretty interesting n i wonder if the salesperson told any of u guys this...

he said that every mitsu dealership only gets 10 ralliarts thats why i barely see any on the road i wonder if thats true? what really sold me was when i test drove it the sound of the exhaust, the pick up, and the clear tailights haha

Dunno. My dealership told me that they had only managed to sell about 5 of them from their location since the time they came out (probably why I have yet to see another one), and I bought the only one left on the lot. If it were 10, some other dealership would've had to snap them up.

Not every Mitsu dealer gets 10. It's based upon demand for that area. I've driven by the Cerritos Mitsu dealer and they had to have at least 15 of them just chilling there on the lot. They also had a good half dozen EVO's there as well, and a boatload of base/es/oz lancers. Then again, around southern cali, everybody and their mom has like 3 cars, so...

It's a limited production car, but I would believe its based on supply/demand rather than a set number of vehicles per dealership.

The dealership near me sells BILLIONS of ralliarts

They usual source them out of other local dealerships to keep up with the demand.

and why not? THEY ROCK! I took mine to a local meet last night. was the first time anyone else there saw an RA. Was able to pull hard on all the sentra's (no v-specs showed, though), carolas (04's, not the new nicer 05), civics and focus sports. didnt do any serious racing, just playing, but all like the RA.

I think that number on you keys chain is for replacing your key. Perhaps we shouldn't give it out. Sorry I'm

You should read your owners manual about this. As the manual says that number is used to start your car if you dont have one of the keys with the chip. If your dealer told you that, they are idiots.

even thou im not from canada, from what i hear they sell ALOT of ralli-arts there, due to the evo not being there. Also, i got out of only 3 left on santa monica mitsu lot, the last black one. They only have a gray, white left... that was 2 weeks ago so i dont know if there still there.
