I'm confused, is this per year or are they only making 1000 copies and stop producing it?

Here is a quote from AutoWeek:

"Mitsubishi is planning a production run of about 1000 MRs. After that, you’ll have to settle for a stiffer one with a five-speed."

limited to a 1000 means you pay about 5000 dollars more at the dealership

 

Yup!
1000 only
that's why it's an "edition"

 

you can also wait for the EVOIX which has all the MR feautures stock plus engine upgrade.

 

Yea, I like the MR, but not for the extra cash. Evo's are really rare enough (compared to most cars in the 30K range) that I don't need to be MORE special...I'll take the 5K for upgrades.

 

the extra $5k is worth the money to my understanding compared to the 03 and 04's models. The retail value is even greater, I mean half of the country is selling the MR's for around 40k, the resale value will stay very high as well because being a limited production car instead the regular 05 will be available for much less.

my .2c

 

I have heard rumors that MMNA isnt even gonna get the full 1000 out, but then again, these are only rumors.

 

yeah , but when will that come out?

 

Dont know how much truth there is to this but were I bought my Evo they said they were looking at getting 100 FQ400's in the states. Well over 50k but who knows???

 

Thing that surprises me is that if there are only going to be 1000 of them why do I seem to see more of them at dealers than regular GSRs or even rarer are the RS. I havent even seen a Yellow or Tarmac 05 anywhere around DC in about 2 months. I have seen 5 Graphites at dealers and 2 Raly Reds 2 Apex Silvers and only 1 Wicked White. The not so trust worthy sales guy at Stohlman said they sold 8 of them in a week when they got the frist ones. They had about 4 there last week.

 

theres less than that out there b/c ppl are totalling them left & right

 

I heard the same thing onlt 1000 copies.....get it wile you can.

 

Got an 03 tarmac in the fam and my MR so we be supa happy But yes only 1000 if they make it that far lol.

edit makes me feel better to note I got mine for 35k out the door..

 

Sorry but that 40k number is the dealer trying to rip people off like when the 03 first came out. The value will drop and I will feel sorry for the people who paid 40k because you will not get close to that back. As long as they continue to build EVO the resale will drop with 03 being the worst.

 

when i bought the car - i didnt plan on making money off of it. i am enjoying it.
