MN has one less mitsu dealer.

Just an FYI, found out... might be old news... Walser Mitsu Closed on Dec 23. I guess they only sold like 2 new cars the last month of business!

We now only have Brooklyn Park and Metro in the Twin cities. After Forest Lake Closed in the fall!

On a side note walser opened a Hyundai dealer, which has a Silver 2008 Evo X GSR with everything for 26,9k.

Re: MN has one less mitsu dealer.

yeah it does!.... the only reason I care is I have free oil changes through them so I wanted to find out what dealers their evo mechanics went to. If anyone is wondering couple (aaron the service manager and a couple mechanics) went to roseville gmc pontiac and lance went to bloomington toyota.

Re: MN has one less mitsu dealer.

Thats sucks. I always heard good things about Walser Mitsu. They should have updated there website though: http://www.walsermitsubishi.com/ Unless the "Wow" experience is suppose to be about people going to the dealership and then realizing the place is closed.

later,
Curt

Re: MN has one less mitsu dealer.

Well, this is just the beginning. The Saturn and Hummer brands will soon be gone. That was part of the bailout money agreement with GM. Dodge has been shopping around the Viper too and halted production, it sounds like that will be dead soon also.

Re: MN has one less mitsu dealer.

I wonder why Saturn? You'd think fuel efficient cheap econo boxes would be the best sellers.

Mainly because they are no different than the cheap econobox Chevys available. They used to be different, but not anymore. Having multiple companies selling the same product is a waste of money/resources.
