RE: Status of Mitsu Canada

Does anybody know how they are doin'? I've seen a couple dealerships closed down in the past few days....I don't know if things are goin' good and they are moving to better locations or if things really aren't and they're slowly starting to close up shop.
Anybody know?

Because everyone is buying from Cooksville instead. Niagara people are buying from Jing.

My Mitsu dealer Cite Mitsubishi(Sako Auto Leasing) sells Porsches, BMWs, Audis and everything else that moves so their Mitsu line is just another sidekick business opportunity for them, even if Mitsu moves out of Canada they will still be there. The problem with Mitsu in Canada is that they are new and most Canadians who are not in the car circle have never heard of them and don't trust their quality. Another bad selling point is that they have priced their cars in the same price range as Honda and Toyota so who is going to buy a little known brand for the same cost, most people who buy Mitsus now are buying 6 month or older ones since their price drops 40-50% in less than a year and thats why I bought it knowing that they are the second largest auto maker in Japan after Toyota, my 8 month old 18,000kms fully loaded and warrantied Lancer costed me $1600 less than a bare bones non-warrantied 3 year old Civic DX with 75,000kms on it, which would you have choosen if you were me ? I see some Mitsu dealers are using the slogan "Totally Made in Japan Since 1901" for the Lancer which is true since the Civic and Corolla are made in plants in Canada and in the US.

What I have seen is doing well, or it could just be Cooksville that is doing well. Everytime I go in Jing is making another sale

With all the cruises and exposure that is going on I think that will be around a long time. There are more and more ads on tv and in the magazines.

I believe that the 0% financing is helping as well

That is because when the Koreans used their own Engine blocks they melted!
