    Yeah I went to the dealer. They were redirecting everyone to the kia dealer next. Talked to the guy and he says the dealership is closing down.

    That sucks. I hate seeing mitsu dealers close down. There used to be 2 dealers in my city. Both gone. I was in talks with Mitsubishi about opening a mitsu lot in my town and they said no. Closest dealer is an hour away. Im in a good sized city and they still wont let me open one!
    I love everything about Mitsubishi!!!!

    I bought my car at valley view mitsubishi in jan of 2014 they shut it down in march or april of 2014. I then started using bedford mitsubishi and now this one is closing down too.....I just cant win. I live in Mansfield and work in Cleveland so I only have a few dealers left to go to. That are reasonable. Sunnyside and mentor are somewhat close.....and then theres the one in Columbus. All of them are at least an hour and 20 minutes away from me.

    Oh, I thought you were coming from Mansfield as that is what you have as your location. Good to hear positive feedback for Mentor. I've heard good about Sunnyside too.

    I normally do but since Bedford mitsubishi is right up the road from my work I decided to go there. You know easier to get to and from the shop if I need a ride etc. Then arriving and finding out they were closing down I had to go from there.

    I also approached Bedford Mitsubishi about their inventory as it is/was listed online. They told me that Mitsubishi is pulling out of North America. All their inventory of Mirages and other models were in the Zoom storage lot on Broadway, and that the Mazda of Bedford dealership was working on becoming a certified Mitsubishi dealer. Once they get things arranged, they would start offering those cars for sale. I called Mazda of Bedford a couple weeks ago and they still were not ready to sell the Mitsubishis.

    Since you are nearby, have a look at the parking lot across Broadway from the Mazda of Bedford dealership. I'm curious to know if those cars are still there.
