Smile Your Monthly Evo X and Mitsu sales update

Here's the latest sales information from Mitsu...

http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...54375&mime=ASC

The way they talk about Evo X sales is a little misleading IMHO. Saying it is up 228% against the Evo IX in August 2007 (which you could barely find on dealer lots last year) isn't exactly a fair way to look at things. What's interesting is that they don't list the actual number of Evo Xs sold in August...they only list the increase versus last year. Which tells me that the actual number sold wasn't very great and to make it look better, they used the % increase.

Evo X sales so far...

April = 364
May = 351
June = 315
July = 357
August = ??? (they didn't provide the actual number sold)

If anyone can find the actual number sold in August, please post it up and I'll update this post.

I think it is fair to assume they sold 228 units since they didn't sell any in Aug. 2007. That would explain the 228% increase from last year...

Yeah, to the OP. Good math skills. A 228% increase of 0 is still 0.

C'mon Mitsu... I just heard on the radio that they are doing 0% financing on select models... hopefully that EVO is one of them. I am so in the market for one.

LOL Was tired.... I've looked though in the press releases if I could find any hint, but nothing that I can see.

Mitsubishi has offered 0% on the Evo in the past. It was when they were clearing out the last of the VIII's for the IX's (end of 2005).

Some dealers also arrange 0% programs (and include the Evo) through their own financial relationships through local financial institutions. As you might expect, there is usually a catch... like requiring a FICO of 780, or a huge deposit, or paying MSRP, etc.
