When are the first shipments coming (again?)?

The guy I just talked to told me MARCH 13th as the SHIP DATE for the only 2 Evo's that Lancaster Mitsubishi is getting.???

I was originally told delivery around 2/24/03.?

Anyone have something to post for the Pennsylvania area?

thanks

Not in the Pennsylvinia area but just info for people to know.

My dealership is getting 2 for the first allocation and luckily the red is coming in first. Mine is scheduled for 2-10-03. I'm assuming people who is around the Chicago area will get their around the same time.

Anybody from the west coast getting thiers sooner?

My dealer (Premium Mitsu, New Rochelle, NY) had no info as of last week, I will call him today or tomorrow and ask again. I'm worried that despite him telling me "no problem MSRP" when I put my deposit down, that he will change his mind and tell me "well no it's not $5k over MSRP (or whatever, I don't want to pay a cent over MSRP, there's no need for this kind of price gouging) Worse comes to worse I call some dealers in the central US and take a road trip

For cars currently on order there are two possible ship dates. 2/10/03 and 3/13/03. Now keep in mind, these are the dates the cars are scheduled to leave the port, NOT the day they will arrive at dealers. These dates are also not etched in stone and I would expect a swing of about a week in either direction once we get closer to ship day.

Anybody else around the chicago area has the 1st allocations of cars? What dates do you have?

I just don't understand why they have 2 cars from their first allocation and one of them comes before another .

Forgot to mention that my estimated delivery date of 2-10 was what he looked up when i called today.

WFT!!!! Are they pushing each one by hand? East coast is one month behind west coast! Hopefully all of this is wrong.

Not unless Mitsubishi has suddenly decided to unload its transporters in the port of Chicago.

Think Tacoma or San Diego.
