Purchased 4/18/03 at Sheilds Mitsubishi (great sales, terrible service) in State College, PA.

The sales guy who sold me the Evo bought the '91 Sentra SE-R that I traded in.

Funny stories

When I was waiting for the Evos to arrive, I did not have a depoist in

I got a call from my pal who also has a '03 that he was driving down the NJ Turnpike following some Evos on a trailer - first evos in our area

He followed the Evos to the dealership - Premium Mitsubishi - (now out of business)

They had some poor guy who had put down a deposit for many months

For a $1,500 payment over sticker I drove my Silver Evo 8 home the same afternoon

I felt bad for the guy they screwed who had his depoist down for so long - they sold him another Evo and he wound up being my customer

This is for purchase date of 03 Evos, not production date. Thanks for posting though.

Oh, I guess I shoulda read more carefully then. I thought you meant production dates, not purchase date...well then the car was bought in 01/2004 from Garica Mitsubishi in Albuquerque, NM.

February 28 2004. Just passed 54k miles. Love it to much to trade it for a IX or X. I love the fact that it id a real drivers car with no drivers aides.
