Ok everyone, Santa Monica as of the end of June was the 6th place dealer in the country, year-to-date. As for the better business bureau, don't know how that rank is. So far they have sold 343 new Mitsu. They are second in CA to Modesto Mitsu. The reason you probably could not find them on the site is that they did not make the top 25 for the month of May.

 

Thanks for clearing up that information about the Top 25 dealers.

My EVO dealer I trust here in Michigan said the MR model will not be here before December. The other dealer I deal with in Illinois said the 05' isn't even in his computer to preorder, therefore it would be impossible for any Mitsubishi dealer to be preordering any 05' EVO. Trust your insincts, the 04' didn't come out until March of 04', why would you expect the 05' to come any sooner? He also said it would be unfair to take a downpayment on any car he doesn't even have actual MSRP or specifications on. He said to watch out for dealers that are doing this because unless your order is exact you may lose your deposit because it will be strung out for more than 90 days. Also he asked me why I would be willing to take at least a $5000 loss on trading in of my EVO...I told him I was gonna keep my EVO, and he said smart choice....tells me he is even unsure if he is gonna be able to sell the MR. All other 05' cars are available for preorder on the website, execpt the EVO's!

 

who cares....i dont see why so many people are freaking out about trading in, blah blah blah...why not just keep what you have and make it stronger. Really, are that many of you going to need the ayc, acd, and an extra shorter gear?? please..... Hell, I have yet to even come across an 04 here in my area. Maybe thats what the red one is on the dealer lot, but i havent been that anxious to stop and look.

 

It's apparently on the commitment sheets ("Order To Delivery"). My GM finally got his today and gave me a jangle to let me know. Usually dealers have the car 90 days after their commit. They'd be available for ordering in 4 - 5 weeks, when the dealers are given all the option codes (since those aren't out yet). And within 30 days of ordering, they should have pricing. BHENKEL can confirm or correct this.

Maybe your dealer just hasn't gotten his OTD sheets yet? I know my dealership got his about a week after the others around here.

 

Your dealer must not be up to par. My dealer in south eastern michigan got his commitment sheets with the mr on it. Who knows your dealer may not get any if there so out of the loop

 

Hey, any words of the Spec-C coming in 05?

 

I sure as hell am keeping my EVO, the MR is nice, but I'm happy to have an EVO...so I don't really care what model it is.

i would say dizzigital is good guy and you can do good deals at santa monica! if some other guy's at santa monica mitsubishi are unfriendly or what ever it does not mean that all are like this. think about how many people you need in a dealership that size and think about how many badguys you need to make the people talking bad of you! you don't need more than one!

 

It'd be funny if a dealer had brand new 03s, 04s, and 05s all on the same lot! I wonder how much the 03s would sell for.

 

i was at a couple dealerships today and they said its impossible for hte MR or even the 2005s to be coming around september or even november. They said most likely by end of january to february they will be on the lots

 

damn man... i hate getting these mixed responses from corporate.... last i heard, they were comin' late september... they better stick to their word!
