South Coast also has 10 2014 evo sitting in the lot.....Once 2015 come out, I'm sure they will be marking 2014 evo at a steal....

 

Not to mention a few 2010 SEs in the back hehehe

 

Damn, new 2010 evo on a lot. That is some crazy **** to hear at the end of 2014.

 

But it's not a surprise to me. A few years ago (maybe 2009 or 2010), they busted out with four brand new, never-titled Evo IX MRs that they had stashed. Two of then were sold at a nice premium well above sticker, and so will the remaining two, whenever that happens. So perhaps these are also being saved for the day when the Evos are all gone... and the 2010 SEs were really the only limited models, plus they were actually numbered, so that might help with exclusivity and pricing (versus if they had done the same thing with any other model of any other year).

 

wouldn't be surprised if they kept 10 SAM's in the backyard also.

 

The industry likes success and winners and it will promote those whom it deems worthy. There can be absolutely nothing wrong with a Mitsubishi and its new owner can give it a failing grade on a JD Powers survey because they bought it from a crap dealer that didn't do its due diligence during the delivery period and proper follow up. Because of cases of outright bribery, the results of those surveys are of no consequence to me.


Bad rep also came back in the days when Mitsubishi Motors Credit would put anybody who could fog a mirror into one of their cars. These people got in over their heads, didn't do any maintenance and ended up defaulting which left a lot of ragged out cars being dumped on the market after only a year or two. Resale value tanked and that drags down the responsible owners too when they go in to try to trade for a new one, or go anywhere else.


Add in a blood feud with Consumer Reports, the stigma of building the Zero and just a general air of superiority of a market that has deemed Toyota and Honda to be God's Gift to Humanity, and it is no surprise the brand has little to no equity and few repeat buyers. When the general public thinks the only reason you drive one is because you are broke it doesn't give the average person warm and fuzzies about continuing to own one especially when public perception and validation is so important to a lot of people who want to feel like they made a good purchase decision based on the opinion of their peers. Mitsubishi does not enjoy this important quality even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with the mechanical quality of their product.

 

My Evo was the most reliable car I've owned. I have owned Toyotas, Hondas, and Jaguars.

 

Same here. I had a Honda, an Isuzu and a Mercedes. Not that they were junkers but they all had some problems that required attention.

 

Thank you for contacting us with your email inquiry regarding the seating on the 2015 Evo. You are correct! The 2015MY seat will be same as regular Lancer GT. The reason the Recaro seat was eliminated for 2015 was this seat type could no longer meet new government regulations relative to seat airbag requirements this is what I got from official mitsubishi customer support representative

 

They will need bigger discounts to sell the 2015's (more than $500) or some other performance enhancement.

 

$2k discount, take it or leave it.

 

South coast has over 50, 2014 evos. ....

 

Quality does not come from the brand/make/model alone; it comes from the owner too. I personally think that the reason to why each type of car out their have bad rep is because the owner treat it like dirt bag, move on and say such negative things about it.

 

I would drive to south coast.im not in Cali.43 gsr & 11mr on the lot.i want another one.anyone know the msrp on them??did not list.

 

Everyone here who is recommending south coast mitsu, don't bother. These tards want a minimum 7500 markup from MSRP to sell 2014 evos. They say mitsu released an addendum and they can't sell evos for under that markup. What a crock of **** and a bunch of shady crooks at that place. Especially the owner abbas. That fool is shady as ****kkk!
