My guess is that the 2014 sells fairly soon, but the others just don't seem to be moving.

I was talking to a friend that works there, and he said that he almost sold the FE a couple weeks ago, until the person saw the seats. I'm not sure if that's why the 2015's aren't moving, but I was surprised when they ordered more.
Glad someone sees it for what it is. Gotta thank US DOT and their stupid safety rules. didn't want to pay to re-engineer seats for one more year. I think the FE is a good buy at regular Evo price. But to pay $4k more and then having to go spend another 2-3k on decent seats. It's horse poop!! That's $6k that I can go and use for a set of Volks, tires and bolt ons.

Or better yet use the $6k to pay for a Canadian import

(From what I recall, there is a dealer in Southern Cali who still has a bunch of brand new 2010 SEs stockpiled).
The 4k markup is real, I saw this image on someone's instagram


And the dealer I think you're talking about is south coast mitsu?. I swear I've heard one of them still having a brand new evo 9 wrapped in plastic and a lot of 2010 SE's

Awesome, grats! Nice to see more of the Mercury Gray FE's around. I think yours is the 3rd I've seen now besides mine, and a random person that posted on Facebook the other day.

Luckily the dealership near me refuses to mark things up, so I didn't have to worry about that when I bought mine.

And I've definitely heard that South Coast Mitsu still has brand new 2010 SE's.. although this is the first I've heard of a new Evo 9.

I saw it when I bought my '15 last year.

Thanks man. I bought it that color to match the color of my GTR. I plan on putting the same kind of wheels (volks TE37s).

Guys, they're just ASKING $4k over sticker. It doesn't mean thats what they're getting. It personally offends me when dealers do this type of thing, but you as a client can still go and offer whatever you're willing to pay, just like you would in any other situation. Then they'll either take it, or not. I think those little add on "market value" stickers are there to separate morons from their money. Not saying I'm all that financially savvy, or a great negotiator, but I did offer $37200 (invoice) on my FE with MSRP of 38805 and they took it. For anyone that cares, I bought it at Roswell Mitsubishi in Georgia while I lived there.

You can use "Advanced" and manage attachments to post images. If you try to use the insert image thing it won't work.
