    White Bear Mitsubishi (formerly a Saturn dealership) is focused on one brand of vehicles, & it impacts how they do business.

    Luther Brookdale Mitsubishi is located within 10 miles of White Bear Mitsubishi, & they have 7 Mirages in stock (all CVT, no manuals). Luther Brookdale Mitsubishi also has Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge, Mazda, Buick/GMC, & VW dealerships in the same area. They aren't committed to one brand like White Bear.

    Russ Darrow is large dealership in Wisconsin. They have dealerships in both the Madison & Milwaukee area. They sell Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, KIA, Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, & Mitsubishi. Like I said earlier, their one Mitsubishi dealership has 2 Mirages in stock. 2 Mirages in stock for the entire Milwaukee area!

    White Bear Mitsubishi is a stand alone dealership that's trying to compete for everyone's business. Buerkle Honda & Hyundai dealership are on one side of them, Barnett Chrysler/Jeep is on the other side of them. Unlike many Mitsubishi dealerships that are simply a small part of much larger dealerships, White Bear is a stand alone dealership. Their approach to selling cars is very straight forward. I find that somewhat refreshing.

    If they list a Mirage for $10,997, everyone can get that car for that price. If you qualify for other incentives, you could get another $1,500 taken off that list price ($500 military, $500 loyalty, and $500 VIP program). At times, financing may reduce the price beyond that. It's definitely a good reference point to keep in mind when shopping for a new Mirage.

    That's a great point. I have never seen a stand-alone Mitsubishi dealer. I didn't know they existed?!? Around here Mitsubishi is usually the "afterthought" brand lumped in with several other more common automotive brands. These guys barely move enough Mitsubishi's to keep the lights on.

    My local Mitsu dealer used to be a Pontiac dealer. But they are mainly a big Toyota dealer. The Mitsubishi portion of the dealership is a small building at the end of a large complex.

    Weird, all 3 Mitsubishi dealers that we have in town aren't shared with other brands. I found one in Ohio that's a huge auto mall shared with kia, hyundai, nissan ford....... Found a weird street view pic from inside the kia showroom. Attachment 15173

    That is Ricart...which is a huge 67 acre mega-dealer outside of Columbus, Ohio. At one time this place sold more cars and trucks than any other dealer in the US.

    They are a Ford, Nissan, Mazda, Kia, Huyundai and Mitsubishi dealership.

    They have over 2,000 new cars in stock.
    130 are Mitsubishis.
    24 are Mirages.
    0 Mirages have a manual transmission.
