I was surfing the Internet the other night and linked over to the Mitsubishi site to check out the Evo. I smiled when I saw that the Raider was listed only as a 2007 - there was no 2008 model available.
I had heard that the truck was stone cold, but I didn't know that Mitsubishi dropped it in 2008. Is Mitsubishi stepping up with Dealer Incentives to help clear these units out? |

Today's Automotive News indicated that Mitsubishi will drop the Raider when the contract with Chrysler expires in 2010. According to the report, Mitsubishi sold fewer than 3,000 Raiders during 2008 and I bet a lot of those were deeply discounted 2007 models sold by dealers that swore they would never stock another one. |

I just read on allpar that Mitsubishi just killed the Raider...big surprise...they sold 2,935 this year and that is down 64.5% from 2007. I have too much free time on my hands, between this site and allpar, I enjoy both of these sights, but I would much rather be selling some cars.

![]() Concerning Allpar.com, I agree that it's a great site for anyone that has an interest in Chrysler. |

I just read in Automotive News that Chrysler built the last Mitsubishi Raider at the end of June - the vehicle is now officially dead. In its five year life span, less than 23,000 Raiders were build and I bet half of them are still sitting in dealership inventory. ![]() |

See, if Mitsubishi had only offered these trucks through the wholesale / auction market, it would have been a totally different story for the ol' Raider.

I had a dealer tell me the same thing about the Eagle Vision years ago. He said he couldn't sell a new one if his life depended on it, but they made fantastic used cars.
