Is your local Mitsubishi dealership a part of a larger automotive group or a stand alone dealership? I think that makes a huge difference in inventory.
For example, Bergstrom is the largest Automotive Group (36 different brands) in Wisconsin. Their Mitsubishi dealership located in Appleton, Wisconsin has four 2022 Eclipse Cross vehicles in stock. That is their entire new vehicle inventory.
Meanwhile, a stand alone dealership like White Bear (Minnesota) has -
84 Eclipse Cross
55 Outlander
42 Outlander PHEV
30 Outlander Sport
20 G4
19 Mirage
During more normal times, WB would have 60+ Mirages in stock this time of year.
The largest automotive group in Wisconsin has 4 new Mitsubishi vehicles in stock verses a stand alone dealership like White Bear that has (you do the math above).
If Wisconsin has a good Mitsubishi dealership, I am not aware of it yet. I am amazed Mitsubishi still exists, but I am seeing more & more of them all the time. Madison , Wisconsin has a stand alone dealership. Even though they somewhat suck, they have inventory & sell vehicles. I see that living 65 miles away from them.
When I say my most local Mitsubishi dealership sucks, that is not an exaggeration. Their practices were so horrible that the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicle eventually shut them down for a couple months & investigated them. Even though I don't know the outcome of that investigation, the former owners seemed forced to sell and someone new owns the dealership now. I haven't been there still new ownership, but my hopes for them aren't that high.
I know some feel I praise WB a bit much on the forum, but my alternative to WB was absolutely a horrible experience. This is coming from someone who takes no crap from car dealership. Heck, even the first sales person I talked to there was one of my former students. It was still a very yucky place to visit. I used them for test drive, thanked them, & moved on. There was no need to waste each other's time, because I knew the OTD price before going for a test drive. They somewhat treated me like someone with the plague (this was before COVID), because of that, too.
