Evo's are @ Long Beach shipping port
 

I talked to another dealer in Arizona(623)298-1234 ask for mario
He told me the cars are in Cali Long Beach Port waiting to be shipped he said they will have them anyday now. Looks like my previous post about next week was correct call him if u want i also spoke to the sales manager and he confirmed this. Also gave me a VIN JA3AH86F43U091874 This dealer is getting 2 black 2 yellow 2 red and 2 silver. Dam things are starting to get good PLEASE SOMEBODY CHECK THIS LONG BEACH TERMINAL. Trying to sell them for 39,900 there crazy but know there info

That VIN number doesnt register on Carfax... {thumbdwn}

As far as I kno, that car might not even exist.

thats probably because it hasn't been loaded into the system yet.

somebody check out this terminal

That port is HUGE, could be anywhere.

Are you sure it's LB? I know Mitsu imports a lot of cars through Hueneme (that's where mine's coming in :) ) and I couldn't find any details of an MMSA processing office at LB.

All of the VINs given so far do check out (ie they are valid Evo VINs, not made up ones). If they haven't been processed yet, they won't be in any systems, and who knows how often Carfax gets updates. They have no need to be bang up-to-date with brand new cars anyway, their market is used car buyers.

Anyway, for you detail freaks, a VIN deconstruction:
J - Country (of manufacture): Japan
A - Make: MMC or MMMA (as opposed to MMAL, the Australian Mitsu)
3 - Vehicle type: Passenger car (MMC, MMMA)
A - Other info: Driver & passenger airbags
H8 - Model: Lancer Evolution (yeah!)
6 - Type: 4dr sedan
F - Engine: 2.0L DOHC Turbo (4G63)
7 - Check digit (calculated from rest of VIN)
3 - Model year: 2003
U - Assembly plant: Mizushima (J = Nagoya)
042104 - Plant sequence number (Canadian vehicles begin with 6)

What I find odd is that of the three VINs posted so far, sequence numbers range from 042104 to 091874. So I guess there must be some other significance to the sequence numbers also (I doubt they've made 50,000 Evo VIIIs yet :)

Great info!!! :usflag:

I'm not too far from the port but It's huge and I HIGHLY doubt the cars are just sitting somewhere. Chances are they are in large trailer boxes out of sight.

when i was looking at the 350z, and it came in they had a whole dock parkinglot filled with hundreds of 350z's. It was damn cool to see. my350z.com

Not sure why but I have a feeling he's going to that port and will start breaking containers open to see if there are any Evos there :lol: j/k

Heheh.......Alright guys...........I'll see if I can drive down there today. :guitar:
