1.Hello out there. Well, I am one step closer to being an owner. Today I did documents signing and will pick up my Miev on 31 Jul 12. For those that are interested, I purchased a 2012 Miev SE with an out the door price of $22,515. Some details on the pricing: MSRP was $31,975; discounted price with dealer installed accessories of a rear cargo mat and window tint made the price of the Miev $30,770 (about a $1,420 discount, or about a 5% discount). Also purchased a dealer seven year extended warranty (I know they are not worth it, but peace of mind). Other dollars involved were taxes, title, licensing, and document preparation fees. Traded in my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid as part of the deal. I will fully qualify for the $7,500 tax credit when I file my 2012 tax return in February 2013. Already ran the numbers on my tax return, and my tax liability will be greater than $7,500. If more pricing details wanted, send me a PM.
2. Met the dealership service manager and chief technician for the Miev servicing. Both are nice people, but the Miev is new, and their only experience is based on the certification training they went through with Mitsubishi, in order for the dealer to be authorized to sell the Miev. Appears this dealer has only sold about four or five Miev's.
3. On 26 Jul 12 have an electrician coming out to install a dedicated 120 volt/15amp outlet in garage. I have decided to defer installation of level 2 charging system in the garage for the time being.
4. In the trivia department the last five of the VIN is is 22334. I wonder if that means my Miev is the 334th one manufactured? Life goes on. Bill Thompson
