Could be buying a Ralliart

Hey all I'm new and I have a question. I am looking to get a 09 Ralliart (hopefully) and at the local Mitsubishi dealership they have had the same ones sitting there for a good 6 months now. My question is why aren't they selling, is there something I should look out for, or is my local dealership not good at selling cars lol?

Thanks,
Shawn

Nothing wrong with the Ralliart. It's a good car. I love mine and we just got a second one this past week. I'd have to say that dealership must be asking entirely too much for their cars or they're un-willing to negotiate a decent price.

I just picked up a new Ralliart last Thursday and I have to say this is hands down the funnest car I've ever owned (I've been through a lot of cars). You really do get a lot for your money, even if you forget about the engine/transmission. The bluetooth system is amazing, easy to set up/easy to use.
I can't even imagine owning a car without the keyless-keyless (or whatever its called) entry system. Being able to walk to your car and open the door while your hands are full is addicting.

and the best part is.....
you get all this with the engine from an Evo, a REAL AWD system with REAL LSD's and one of the best twin clutch transmissions out.

As for why they aren't selling it could be due to a lot of things. I have yet to see another Railliart Sportback on the road, this doesn't mean its a bad car. It could be because of where the dealer is located, the price they have listed or maybe they just suck at selling cars.

all I have to say is don't let that play into your decision. Taker her for a drive and check out all the features, I doubt you will be disappointed

Funny story I actually got a "test ride" in one because being 18 isn't old enough to test drive one?? but it seemed like a very very fun car. I forgot to mention they have had them marked down to 24k for the past several months, so I'm beginning to think they just cant sell a car lol, so Im hoping one day I will be the future owner of a Wicked White Ralliart

Because when most people think fast car they picture something with a 6L V8 truck engine in a RWD package - not a little 2.0

LOL! I guess I am lucky, but after driving a truck for awhile a need for a super fun car increases, my first ever car was a 03 DSG Mustang Mach 1, but my dad made me sell it due to its poor handling, then I got the truck, and now I'm hoping the Ralliart will be my next And I gotta say thanks for the great support you guys are awesome!

Here in the northeast there hasnt been much advertising for the RA until just recently so nobody even knew about them. Mine was on the spinning thing in the showroom since january-says the dealer.

Because no cars are selling well, the market fell out. It doesn't say anything about the Ralliart in particular.

They dont sell cause most folks are not choosing mitsu these days if they have 25K to spend on a new car.. mitsu has poor marketing poor brand image. ok quality. and prices that are to high wen the brand is in bad shape. I want a ralli art but im only gonna pay 22K OTD and it has to have sunroof.

lol the reason I bought it is because they let me test drive it without the sales person in the car! I got to drive it like a maniac and unleash the real power , which is a good sales tactic because its impressive

EDIT: I am 18 as well, so.. I don't even know why they trusted me
