RA availability

Why is it sooo hard to find a RA at a dealership!? I really wanna drive one/check it out but its almost as if they don't exist, did you guys have to order one? If anybody knows of a dealer in the ATL area let me know!

If you're looking for new...good luck. There isn't a single new one in Canada (or at least there wasn't 3 months ago). Not totally sure it is that way in the US though.

Supposedly they sold less 09 RA's than Evo's... Not sure how true that is.

They didn't make 09 evos, unless that was ur way of making a point.

And I don't think 2012 RAs came out, unless im retarded.

I think you're taking it a bit out of context. I meant they sold more evo's in 2009 than RA's. The model Evo X might've been released in 08 but I can assure you, they sold plenty of cars in 2009.

eh Ohio is a bit far for a check-out lol but Ive checked online inventories of a few of the dealerships in the ATL area and have not seen a single one!! They all have at least one Evo though...
Looks like I'm just gonna have to decide between the Gen coupe or GTI hahaha

Your probably unable to find one because South Suburban Mitsubishi in Monee IL where I bought mine has 27 of them in stock. Im pretty sure they would be willing to trade the dealership down there one if your that interested.

Cherryhill Mitsubishi here in NJ has LOADS of RAs and Evos, maybe try asking them for a dealer trade or to ship one?

The local Mitsu dealership has 1 new Lancer... he said he just cant get them. they sold all the 2011's by June. I bought the last RA they had and they only had an MR, my RA, 1 GTS and a DE on the lot - ALL the rest of the cars on the lot were used Toyota's and whatnot. I had my fist oil change there a couple weeks back... they had a RG GTS in the showroom and the rest of the entire lot was used cars.

Dont know if its just a dealership issue or if they are just in short supply...

I was gong to have to drive to Cherry Hill/NJ as i widened the aperature to find dealerships with cars... I found one local/used...

Yep! Hard to find - but worth it!

You will like the Gen Coupe as well. RASB is just more practical/holds more (for me).

Yeah, dealer trade is the way to go but it will inhibit your deal making ability if you go that route. You also may want to consider using Mitsu's dealer locator and price out RA's around the country and get your car shipped to you. In the end I saved my self a couple grand less doing that.
