Local Mitsu dealer not getting new Evos?!?!

I just stoped by my local Mitsubishi dealer to start the process of buying a new EVO (WOOT). To my surprise they said they don't have any, and might not get any in until 2008 when the EVO X comes out!! Are new EVOs that hard to get or is he just feeding me a line to keep me from haggling? The dealer is in upstate NY, and from what I understand a fairly big volume dealer. I go there regularly to service my Eclipse and until today I have never seen less then three EVOs there. I am finally in a position to buy an EVO and they don't have any. WTF?!?!?!?! Maybe it's just a bad dream....

My local dealer absolutely will NOT deal on his remaining IX. Meanwhile S. Coast is getting in 117. Go figure...

its because mitsu has some program where the more evos the dealer sells the more they get, so between southcoast selling all the evos that means they are getting most of the upcoming shipments so smaller dealers may not get any or not many

It's only March. There are going to be plenty of new Evos coming in to dealerships everywhere.

Would I have to get in contact with a dealer down there, or could I do it through the local dealer?

Why buy locally? I had to drive 180 miles one way to get mine. Find the car you want and go get it, or see if the local dealer can trade for it. Although sometimes they drive the thing between dealers so it isn't always wise unless they ship it.
